4. GUIDING PRINCIPLES
4.1 It is more preferred that government agencies lease publicly-owned real estate from other government agencies.
4.2 However, if no publicly-owned real estate is available or if cost-benefit analysis indicates that lease of privately-owned real estate is more favorable to government, procuring entities shall have the option to enter into lease contracts either through public bidding or negotiated procurement under Section 53(i) of the IRR-A of R.A. 9184. In the public bidding of lease contracts, the procedures under the IRR-A of R.A. 9184 shall be followed.
4.3 The location of the real estate to be leased should have been meticulously determined by the procuring entity after taking into consideration, among others, the need for prudence and economy in government service and the suitability of the area in relation to the mandate of the office and its accessibility to its clients.
4.4 The Approved Budget for the Contract (ABC) of lease shall be determined using the mid point of the range obtained from the results of the market analysis on the prevailing lease rates for real estates within the vicinity of the selected location complying with the criteria and technical specifications of the end user unit.
4.5 As a general rule, rental rates are considered reasonable when they represent or approximate the value of what the Lessee gets in terms of accommodation, facility, and convenience from the leased real estate, and the Lessor gets an equitable return of capital or investment in the construction and maintenance of the real estate.
4.6 The reasonableness of the computed rental rates is likewise determined by comparing rental rates of real estates with the same or similar condition or classification and located within the vicinity. It should also consider real estate amenities and/or facilities provided free by the Lessor.
4.7 The procuring entity shall ensure that the objectives and purpose of the lease contract do not constitute an unnecessary, excessive, extravagant, or unconscionable expenditure.
4.8 In no case shall the rental rates, including additional expenses, such as association dues, if shouldered by the procuring entity, exceed the ABC.
5. PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES
5.1 The end user unit shall conduct a cost-benefit analysis to assess the feasibility of entering into a lease contract for a privately-owned real estate as against purchasing or leasing from a government-owned real estate.
5.2 The recommendation of the end user unit to lease a privately-owned real estate shall be supported by the necessary analytical data establishing the benefits to the procuring entity if it enters into a lease contract. The recommendation shall also indicate the result of the market analysis of the prevailing rate of lease contracts within the vicinity of the selected location.
5.3 The BAC shall evaluate the recommendation of the end user unit, and approve the same if it finds such recommendation to be more advantageous to the government.
5.4 Entering into a lease contract through Negotiated Procurement under Section 53(i) shall be included in the approved APP of the procuring entity concerned. If the original mode of procurement recommended in the APP was public bidding but cannot be ultimately pursued, or the project to be undertaken has not been previously included, the BAC, through a resolution, shall justify and recommend the change in the mode of procurement, or the updating of the APP, to be approved by the head of the procuring entity.
The APP of the procuring entity shall reflect the details of the lease contract including, but not limited to, the ABC and the general description of the requirements for the lease of real estate.
5.5 The BAC shall prepare and finalize the draft contract and the technical specifications for the lease of the real estate taking into consideration the rating factors under Appendix A of these Guidelines. The BAC shall then post the notice for the procurement opportunity in accordance with Section 21.2.4 of the IRR-A of R.A. 9184 for a period of seven (7) calendar days.
5.6 After the required posting period, the BAC shall invite at least three (3) prospective Lessors to submit sealed price quotations.
5.7 On the date specified in the notice, the BAC shall open the price quotations and determine the Lowest Calculated Bid (LCB). The price quotation of the bidder with the LCB shall be evaluated, and its reasonableness computed, in accordance with Item 6 of these Guidelines.
5.8 In the case of a proposed lease of a vacant lot or other land spaces, the procuring entity shall determine reasonableness of the proposed rate using a comparative price analysis as guided by the zonal valuation of the real estate issued by the city or municipality having jurisdiction over the property.
5.9 If the BAC determines that the LCB is reasonable pursuant to Item 5.8 or 6 of these Guidelines, it shall declare said bid as the Lowest Calculated Responsive Bid (LCRB), and recommend to the head of the procuring entity the award of contract thereto.
5.10 However, if the BAC determines that the LCB is unreasonable in accordance with Item 5.8 or 6 of these Guidelines, it shall immediately notify the said bidder in writing of its disqualification and the grounds therefor. The BAC shall then proceed to determine the reasonableness of the second LCB. This procedure shall be repeated for the next LCB until the LCRB is determined for award.
5.11 In case all price quotations are considered unreasonable pursuant to Item 5.8 or 6 of these Guidelines, the BAC shall conduct a comparative price analysis between the LCB and the prevailing market rate previously determined under Item 5.1 of these Guidelines. If the LCB exceeds the prevailing market rate, the next LCB will be subjected to the same comparative price analysis until the LCRB is determined for award.
5.12 If all price quotations exceed the prevailing market rate as determined under Item 5.1 of these Guidelines, the BAC shall declare a failure of negotiated procurement; in which case a public bidding or another negotiated procurement process will be con- ducted, depending on the recommendation of the BAC.
5.13 Immediately after the determination of the LCRB, the BAC shall recommend to the head of the procuring entity the award of contract to such bidder.
6. DETERMINATION OF REASONABLENESS OF RENTAL RATES
6.1 The reasonableness of rental rates may be determined using either of the two (2) methods provided in Items 6.3 and 6.4 of these Guidelines. The procuring entity must adopt only one method of computation and consistently apply this method to all price quotations submitted for said procurement. However, in lease contracts for land spaces, reasonableness of rental rate shall be determined in accordance with Item 5.8.
Sample computations using the above-mentioned formulae are provided in Appendix C* of these Guidelines.
6.2 If the price quotation of the prospective Lessor does not exceed the computed monthly rental, the rental rate offered may be regarded as reasonable, and its quotation may then be considered for award.
6.3 Computation based on Observed Depreciation
This method uses the following formula and a depreciation rate determined by the BAC or its TWG after meticulous ocular inspection of the actual condition of the real estate:
7.1 Lease contracts may be entered into on a multi-year basis, subject to the application of any set of guidelines that governs multi-year contracts.
7.2 The procuring entity shall ensure that the lease contract provide the most advantageous terms and conditions to the Government.
8. EFFECTIVITY
These Guidelines shall take effect fifteen (15) days after publication in the Official Gazette or in a newspaper of general nationwide circulation.
