SECTION I

GENERAL INFORMATION I-A Introduction and Overview The Michigan State Senate (the “Senate”) is evaluating their space alternatives in downtown Lansing, Michigan. The proposed lease or purchase must be a Class A office building (new construction or renovation of existing building) capable of providing offices for State Senators, their staff and various Senate support staffs along with conference rooms, meeting rooms and other space. Please respond to the Request for Proposal (RFP) if you have a potential location in the geographic boundaries set forth in this RFP. The successful bidder (hereafter referred to as the Lessor), will be required to meet all of the requirements set forth in this RFP.

I-B Lease Administrator Upon receipt of the properly executed lease agreement by the Senate, it is anticipated that the Secretary of the Senate will be authorized to administer the lease on a day-to-day basis. However, administration of any lease resulting from this RFP implies no authority to change, modify, clarify, amend, or otherwise alter the terms, conditions, and specifications of such lease. That authority is retained by the Secretary of the Senate. The Lease Administrator for this project is:

Carol Morey Viventi, J.D. Secretary of the Senate Michigan State Senate S-5 Capitol Building Phone: 517-373-2400

The Secretary of the Senate reserves the right to designate another individual as Administrator during the term of the lease.

I-F Acceptance of Proposal Content The contents of this RFP and the successful bidder’s proposal will become legally binding obligations, if a lease ensues. Failure of the successful bidder to accept these obligations may result in cancellation of the award. I-G Modification of Lease The Senate’s sole right to modify the lease and the terms thereof will be negotiated between the Senate and the Lessor. The terms will be incorporated in the lease document. I-H News Releases News releases pertaining to this RFP or the terms of the lease to which it relates will not be made without prior written approval, and then only in accordance with the explicit written instructions from the Secretary of the Senate. No information is to be released without prior approval of the Secretary of the Senate and then only to persons designated. I-I Disclosure All financial information limited to the purchase of the lease may be subject to disclosure under the Senate Rules. Nothing in this section shall preclude the Senate from disclosing information marked proprietary if the Senate is legally bound to do so, by Senate rule or court order. I-J Accounting Records The Lessor will be required to maintain all pertinent financial and accounting records (including time sheets and payroll records, and information pertaining to the lease and to the services, equipment and commodities provided under the lease) in accordance with generally accepted principles of accounting and other procedures specified by the Senate. All such financial and accounting records shall be made available, upon request, to the Senate, its designees, or the Michigan Department of Auditor General at any time during the lease period and any extension thereof, and for three (3) years from the expiration date of, and final payment under, the lease or any extension thereof. I-K Cancellation Legislative cancellation for the term of the lease requires 90 days written notice. All State leases for real property are required to contain a cancellation provision as established within the framework of the Michigan Constitution. The attached sample lease contains this provision. I-L Indemnification The Lessor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Senate and the State of Michigan and its agents and employees from and against all losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, damages and claims (including taxes), and all related costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and costs of investigation, litigation, arbitration settlement, judgments, interest and penalties), arising from or in connection with any of the following: (A) Any claim, demand, action, citation or legal proceeding against the Senate or the State of Michigan or any of its agents or employees arising out of or resulting from the Lessor or the Lessor’s subcontractors performance of the work, duties, responsibilities, actions or omissions under the lease; (B) Any claim, demand, action, citation or legal proceeding against the Senate or the State of Michigan or any of its agents or employees arising out of or related to occurrences that the Lessor is required to insure against as provided for in the lease; (C) Any claim, demand, action, citation or legal proceeding against the Senate or the State of Michigan or any of its agents or employees arising out of or resulting from the death or bodily injury of any persons, or the damage, loss or destruction of any real or tangible personal property, in connection with the performance of services by the Lessor, by any of its subcontractors, by anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or by anyone for

whose acts any of them may be liable; provided, however, that this indemnification obligation shall not apply to the extent, if any, that such death, bodily injury or property damage is caused solely by the negligence or reckless or intentional wrongful conduct of the Senate; (D) Any claim, demand, action, citation or legal proceeding against the Senate or the State of Michigan or any of its agents or employees which results from an act or omission of the Lessor or any of its subcontractors in its or their capacity as an employer of a person. In any and all claims against the Senate or the State of Michigan or any of its agents or employees, by any employee of the Lessor’s or any of its subcontractors, the indemnification obligation under the lease shall not be limited in any way by the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for the Lessor or any of its subcontractors under Worker’s Disability Compensation acts, disability benefits acts, or other employee benefits acts. This indemnification clause is intended to be comprehensive. Any overlap in clauses, or the fact that greater specificity is provided as to some categories of risk, is not intended to limit the scope of indemnification under any other subclause. I-M Lessor Responsibilities The Lessor will be required to assume responsibility for all duties imposed by or provided for in the proposal or lease whether that Lessor performs them or whether a subcontractor, agent, employee, assignee, or other person performs them. Further, the Senate will consider the Lessor to be the sole point of contact with regard to the lease, including payment of any and all charges resulting from any lease. If any part of the work is to be subcontracted, the Lessor must provide a list of subcontractors (any company outside bidder’s company selected by the primary Lessor to perform part of the work of this lease) including firm name and address, contact person, licensing provisions, complete description of work to be subcontracted and descriptive information concerning subcontractor’s organizational abilities. The Senate reserves the right to approve subcontractors, agents, or assignees for this project and to require the primary Lessor to replace persons found to be unacceptable. The Lessor is totally responsible for adherence by subcontractor, agents, or assignees to all provisions of the lease. Any change in subcontractors must be approved by the House, in writing, prior to such change. I-N Lessor’s Liability Insurance General premises liability insurance for the Leased premises, naming the Senate, its several departments, boards, agencies, commissions, officers, and employees, as an additional insured, and which protects against all claims, demands, actions, suits, or causes of action, and judgments, settlements or recoveries, for bodily injury or property damage arising out of a condition of the Leased premises shall be maintained. The Lessor agrees to maintain minimum policy limits in the amount of $500,000.00 per occurrence for property damage, and $1,000,000.00 per occurrence for bodily injury, with a $2,000,000.00 aggregate. The Lessor shall provide to the Senate a certificate of insurance naming the Senate, its several departments, boards, agencies, commissions, officers, and employees as an additional insured party, within thirty (30) calendar days following execution and delivery of this Lease to the Lessor, and every year thereafter. This provision shall not apply to liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to any person or damage to property of others resulting from the sole negligence of the State, its several departments, boards, agencies, commissions, officers and employees. The policy insurance shall provide that it may not be modified, canceled, or allowed to expire without thirty (30) days prior written notice given to the Senate or the additional insured. I-O Subordination And Attornment The Lessor shall disclose to the Senate the names and addresses of all persons or entities holding mortgages on the building or the Leased premises, and thereafter the Lessor shall cause each mortgagee to execute in favor of the Senate a nondisturbance agreement, such agreement to be in a form satisfactory to the Senate, whereby said mortgagee agrees that it will not disturb the Senate’s tenancy in the event of foreclosure or other succession to the interest of the Lessor. Any mortgage is to be subordinate to the Lease, addendum, and future addendum unless specifically provided otherwise in writing.

I-P Nondiscrimination Clause In the performance of the terms of the lease, the Lessor agrees not to discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment, with respect to their hire, tenure, terms, conditions or privileges of employment, or any matter directly or indirectly related to employment, because of race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, sex, height, weight, marital status, physical or mental handicap or disability. The Lessor further agrees that every subcontract or sublease entered into for the performance of any lease resulting here from will contain a provision requiring non-discrimination in employment, as herein specified, binding upon each subcontractor. This covenant is required pursuant to Acts 220 and 453 of the Public Acts of the State of Michigan of 1976, as amended. I-Q Source Of Funding Each bidder must supply confirmation that they have financing available to complete the total project on or before lease execution. If financing is “out of pocket”, we must have either a Letter of Credit or Performance Bond prior to the lease.
