GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES
ADMINISTRATION FOR THE LEASE OF CERTAIN SPACE AT THE

FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: AIRPORT
SUMMARY
The City Council will consider approval of Lease No. GS-0913-03168 with the United
States Government, to extend the current Transportation Security Adminstration use of
certain office space at the Palm Springs International Airport for a ten-year term.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve Lease No. GS-096-03168 with the United States Government,
Department of General Services, for the Transportation Security Administration
use of 6,653 square feet at the Palm Springs International Airport for ten years in
the amount of $345,146,46 per year for the first five years, and $382,578.40 per
year for years six through ten.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents, subject to final
review and approval of the lease by the City Attorney.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) leases certain space at the Palm
Springs International Airport, as necessary to support their primary purpose of
performing the Federal Government Air Transportation Security Programs. The TSA
leases 6,653 square feet comprising: 1) office space located on the ground level of the
Bono Concourse; and 2) space adjacent to the security checkpoint area.
ITEM NO.a P _
City Council Staff Report
September 18, 2013-- Page 2
Transportation Security Administration Lease
The current lease with the United States Government expires September 30, 2013.
Staff is recommending the City Council approve a new ten-year lease through
September 30, 2023.
The lease provides the Federal Government a 60-day cancellation clause in the event
the airport should be de-federalized and the TSA would no longer require the space.
The Federal Government does not allow for the City's usual "cancellation for
convenience" clause; hence, the City does not have an interim cancellation clause
under the terms of the proposed lease.
FISCAL IMPACT
Rent paid to the Airport for the first five years of the lease is $345,146.46 per year, which
represents a 8.5% increase in the current rent ($51.88 per square foot per year).
The rent paid for years six through ten is $382,578.40 per year, an additional 10.8%
increase ($57.50 per square foot per year).

8. 52.209-5 - CERTIFICATION REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS (APR 2010)
(Applicable when the estimated value of the acquisition exceeds the simplified lease acquisition
threshold)
(a) (1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that—
(i) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals—
(A) Are [ ] are not D4 presently debarred, suspended, proposed for
debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any
Federal agency;
(B) Have [ ] have not�1, within a three-year period preceding this offer,
been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for:
commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining,
attempting to obtain, or performing a public(Federal, State, or local)
contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or State antitrust statutes
relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement,
theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false
statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving
stolen property(if offeror checks"have", the offeror shall also see
52.209-7, if included in this solicitation);
(C) Are [ ] are not W presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly
charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the
offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B)of this provision;
(D) Have [ ], have not Dq, within a three-year period preceding this offer,

(1) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following
criteria apply:
Exhibit D Representation and Certifications
to US Government L S-09B-03168
INITIALS: & • 22
LESSOR GOVERNMENT GSA FORM 3518 PAGE 6(REV 6112)
(i) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally
determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not
finally determined if there is a pending administrative or
judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to
the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all
judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.
(ii) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A
taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay
the tax liability when full payment was due and required.
A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced
collection action is precluded.
(2) Examples.
(i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of
deficiency, under I.R.C. § 6212, which entitles the
taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax
deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not
a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court
review, this will not be a final tax liability until the
taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.
(ii) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with
respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has
been issued a notice under I.R.C. § 6320 entitling the
taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of
Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to
the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien
filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is
entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the
taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the
liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a
final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court
review, this will not be a final tax liability until the
taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.
(iii) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement
pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely
payments and is in full compliance with the agreement
terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the
taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.
(iv) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The
taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection
action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the Bankruptcy
Code).
(ii) The Offeror has [ ] has not N, within a three-year period preceding this offer,
had one or more contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency.
(2) "Principal," for the purposes of this certification, means an officer, director, owner,
partner, or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a
business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a division or business
segment; and similar positions).

This Certification Concerns a Matter Within the Jurisdiction of an Agency of the United States and
the Making of a False, Fictitious, or Fraudulent Certification May Render the Maker Subject to
Prosecution Under Section 1001, Title 18, United States Code.
(b) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time
prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted
or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances-
(c) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not
necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation. However, the certification
will be considered in connection with a determination of the Offeror's responsibility. Failure of
the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as requested by
the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror nonresponsible.
(d) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system
of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (a) of this
provision. The knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which
is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.
(e) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon
which reliance was placed when making award. If it is later determined that the Offeror
knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the
Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from this
solicitation for default.
9. 52.204-3-TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION (OCT 1998)
(a) Definitions.
"Common parent," as used in this provision, means that corporate entity that awns or
controls an affiliated group of corporations that files its Federal income tax returns on a
consolidated basis, and of which the Offeror is a member.

issued by the IRS. If the resulting contract is subject to the payment reporting requirements
described in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 4.904, the failure or refusal by the Offeror
to furnish the information may result in a 31 percent reduction of payments otherwise due
under the contract.
(c) The TIN may be used by the Government to collect and report on any delinquent amounts
arising out of the Offeror's relationship with the Government (31 U.S.C. 7701(c)(3)). If the
resulting contract is subject to the payment reporting requirements described in FAR 4.904,
the TIN provided hereunder may be matched with IRS records to verify the accuracy of the
Offeror's TIN.
(d) Taxpayer Identification Number(TIN).

(Acquisition of Leasehold Interests in Real Property)
1. SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT(JAN 2011)
The Government may sublet any part of the premises but shall not be relieved from any obligations under this
lease by reason of any such subletting. The Government may at any time assign this lease, and be relieved from
all obligations to Lessor under this lease excepting only unpaid rent and other liabilities, if any, that have accrued
to the date of said assignment. Any subletting or assignment shall be subject to prior written consent of Lessor,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
2. 552.270-11 SUCCESSORS BOUND (SEP 1999)
This lease shall bind, and inure to the benefit of, the parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
successors, and assigns.
3. 552.270-23 SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT(SEP 1999)
(a) Lessor warrants that it holds such title to or other interest in the premises and other property as is
necessary to the Government's access to the premises and full use and enjoyment thereof in accordance with the
provisions of this lease. Government agrees, in consideration of the warranties and conditions set forth in this
clause, that this lease is subject and subordinate to any and all recorded mortgages, deeds of trust and other
liens now or hereafter existing or imposed upon the premises, and to any renewal, modification or extension
thereof. It is the intention of the parties that this provision shall be self-operative and that no further instrument
shall be required to effect the present or subsequent subordination of this lease. Government agrees, however,
within twenty (20) business days next following the Contracting Officer's receipt of a written demand, to execute
such instruments as Lessor may reasonably request to evidence further the subordination of this lease to any
existing or future mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest pertaining to the premises, and to any water,
sewer or access easement necessary or desirable to serve the premises or adjoining property owned in whole or
in part by Lessor if such easement does not interfere with the full enjoyment of any right granted the Government
under this lease.
(b) No such subordination, to either existing or future mortgages, deeds of trust or other lien or
security instrument shall operate to affect adversely any right of the Government under this lease so long as the
Government is not in default under this lease. Lessor will include in any future mortgage, deed of trust or other
security instrument to which this lease becomes subordinate, or in a separate non-disturbance agreement, a
provision to the foregoing effect. Lessor warrants that the holders of all notes or other obligations secured by
existing mortgages, deeds of trust or other security instruments have consented to the provisions of this clause,
and agrees to provide true copies of all such consents to the Contracting Officer promptly upon demand.
(c) In the event of any sale of the premises or any portion thereof by foreclosure of the lien of any
such mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument, or the giving of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the
Government will be deemed to have attorned to any purchaser, purchasers, transferee or transferees of the
premises or any portion thereof and its or their successors and assigns, and any such purchasers and transferees
will be deemed to have assumed all obligations of the Lessor under this lease, so as to establish direct privity of
estate and contract between Government and such purchasers or transferees, with the same force, effect and
relative priority in time and right as if the lease had initially been entered into between such purchasers or
transferees and the Government; provided, further, that the Contracting Officer and such purchasers or
transferees shall, with reasonable promptness following any such sale or deed delivery in lieu of foreclosure,
execute all such revisions to this lease, or other writings, as shall be necessary to document the foregoing
relationship.
(d) None of the foregoing provisions may be deemed or construed to imply a waiver of the
Government's rights as a sovereign.

lease file as of the date of issuance;
(2) That the Government shall not be held liable because of any defect in or condition of the
premises or building;
(3) That the Contracting Officer does not warrant or represent that the premises or building
comply with applicable Federal, State and local law; and
(4) That the Lessor, and each prospective lender and purchaser are deemed to have
constructive notice of such facts as would be ascertainable by reasonable pre-purchase and pre-commitment
inspection of the Premises and Building and by inquiry to appropriate Federal, State and local Government
officials.
5. 552.270-25 SUBSTITUTION OF TENANT AGENCY (SEP 1999)
The Government may, at any time and from time to time, substitute any Government agency or agencies
for the Government agency or agencies, if any, named in the lease.
6. 552.270-26 NO WAIVER (SEP 1999)
No failure by either party to insist upon the strict performance of any provision of this lease or to exercise
any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial rent or other
performance by either party during the continuance of any such breach shall constitute a waiver of any such
breach of such provision.
7. INTEGRATED AGREEMENT(JUN 2012)
This Lease, upon execution, contains the entire agreement of the parties and no prior written or oral
agreement, express or implied, shall be admissible to contradict the provisions of the Lease. Except as expressly
attached to and made a part of the Lease, neither the Request for Lease Proposals nor any pre-award
communications by either party shall be incorporated in the Lease.

The obligations and covenants of the Lessor, and the Government's obligation to pay rent and other
Government obligations and covenants, arising under or related to this Lease, are interdependent. The
Government may, upon issuance of and delivery to Lessor of a final decision asserting a claim against Lessor, set
off such claim, in whole or in part, as against any payment or payments then or thereafter due the Lessor under
this lease. No setoff pursuant to this clause shall constitute a breach by the Government of this lease.
9. DELIVERY AND CONDITION (JAN 2011)
(a) Unless the Government elects to have the space occupied in increments, the space must be
delivered ready for occupancy as a complete unit.

LESSO GOVERNMENT GSA FORM 3517B PAGE 4(REV 6112)
(b) The Government may elect to accept the Space notwithstanding the Lessor's failure to deliver the
Space substantially complete, if the Government so elects, it may reduce the rent payments.
10. DEFAULT BY LESSOR(APR 2012)
(a) The following conditions shall constitute default by the Lessor, and shall give rise to the following
rights and remedies for the Government:
(1) Prior to Acceptance of the Premises. Failure by the Lessor to diligently perform all
obligations required for Acceptance of the Space within the times specified, without excuse, shall constitute a
default by the Lessor. Subject to provision of notice of default to the Lessor, and provision of a reasonable
opportunity for the Lessor to cure its default, the Government may terminate the Lease on account of the Lessor's
default.
(2) After Acceptance of the Premises. Failure by the Lessor to perform any service, to
provide any item, or satisfy any requirement of this Lease, without excuse, shall constitute a default by the Lessor.
Subject to provision of notice of default to the Lessor, and provision of a reasonable opportunity for the Lessor to
cure its default, the Government may perform the service, provide the item, or obtain satisfaction of the
requirement by its own employees or contractors. If the Government elects to take such action, the Government
may deduct from rental payments its costs incurred in connection with taking the action. Alternatively, the
Government may reduce the rent by an amount reasonably calculated to approximate the cost or value of the
service not performed, item not provided, or requirement not satisfied, such reduction effective as of the date of
the commencement of the default condition.
(3) Grounds for Termination. The Government may terminate the Lease if.
(i) The Lessor's default persists notwithstanding provision of notice and reasonable
opportunity to cure by the Government, or
(ii) The Lessor fails to take such actions as are necessary to prevent the recurrence
of default conditions,
and such conditions (i) or (ii) substantially impair the safe and healthful occupancy of the Premises, or render the
Space unusable for its intended purposes.
(4) Excuse. Failure by the Lessor to timely deliver the Space or perform any service, provide
any item, or satisfy any requirement of this Lease shall not be excused if its failure in performance arises from:
(i) Circumstances within the Lessor's control,
(ii) Circumstances about which the Lessor had actual or constructive knowledge
prior to the Lease Award Date that could reasonably be expected to affect the Lessor's
capability to perform, regardless of the Government's knowledge of such matters,
(iii) The condition of the Property,-
(iv) The acts or omissions of the Lessor, its employees, agents or contractors; or
(v) The Lessor's inability to obtain sufficient financial resources to perform its
obligations.
(5) The rights and remedies specified in this clause are in addition to any and all remedies to
which the Government may be entitled as a matter of law.

The Government shall have the right to elect to occupy the space in partial increments prior to the substantial
completion of the entire leased premises, and the Lessor agrees to schedule its work so as to deliver the space
incrementally as elected by the Government. The Government shall pay rent commencing with the first business
day following substantial completion of the entire leased premise unless the Government has elected to occupy
the leased premises incrementally. In case of incremental occupancy, the Government shall pay rent pro rata
upon the first business day following substantial completion of each incremental unit. Rental payments shall
become due on the first workday of the month following the month in which an increment of space is substantially
complete, except that should an increment of space be substantially completed after the fifteenth day of the
month, the payment due date will be the first workday of the second month following the month in which it was
substantially complete. The commencement date of the firm lease term will be a composite determined from all
rent commencement dates.
12. MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPERTY, RIGHT TO INSPECT(JAN 2011)
The Lessor shall maintain the Property, including the building, building systems, and all equipment, fixtures, and
appurtenances furnished by the Lessor under this Lease, in good repair and tenantable condition so that they are
suitable in appearance and capable of supplying such heat, air conditioning, light, ventilation, safety systems,
access and other things to the premises, without reasonably preventable or recurring disruption, as is required for

lease. For the purpose of so maintaining the premises, the Lessor may at reasonable times enter the premises
with the approval of the authorized Government representative in charge. Upon request of the LCO, the Lessor
shall provide written documentation that building systems have been properly maintained, tested, and are
operational within manufacturer's warranted operating standards. The Lessor shall maintain the Premises in a
safe and healthful condition according to applicable OSHA standards and all other requirements of this Lease,
including standards governing indoor air quality, existence of mold and other biological hazards, presence of
hazardous materials, etc. The Government shall have the right, at any time after the Lease Award Date and
during the term of the Lease, to inspect all areas of the Property to which access is necessary for the purpose of
determining the Lessor's compliance with this clause.
13. FIRE AND CASUALTY DAMAGE (SEP 2011)
If the building in which the Premises are located is totally destroyed by fire or other casualty, this Lease shall
immediately terminate. If the building in which the Premises are located are only partially destroyed or damaged,
so as to render the Premises untenantable, or not usable for their intended purpose, the Lessor shall have the
option to elect to repair and restore the Premises or terminate the Lease. The Lessor shall be permitted a

of date specified on its Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data.

payment was made prior to the date of the modification reflecting the price reduction, the Contractor shall be
liable to and shall pay the United States at the time such overpayment is repaid—
(1) Interest compounded daily, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6622, on the amount of such

Contractor failed to make a good faith effort to comply with its subcontracting plan, established in accordance with
the clause in this contract entitled "Small Business Subcontracting Plan," the Contractor shall pay the
Government liquidated damages in an amount stated. The amount of probable damages attributable to the
Contractor's failure to comply shall be an amount equal to the actual dollar amount by which the Contractor failed
to achieve each subcontract goal.

good faith effort, the Contracting Officer shall give the Contractor written notice specifying the failure and
permitting the Contractor to demonstrate what good faith efforts have been made and to discuss the matter.
Failure to respond to the notice may be taken as an admission that no valid explanation exists. If, after
consideration of all the pertinent data, the Contracting Officer finds that the Contractor failed to make a good faith
effort to comply with the subcontracting plan, the Contracting Officer shall issue a final decision to that effect and
require that the Contractor pay the Government liquidated damages as provided in paragraph (b) of this clause.
