It is intended to be included with an RLP (Request for Lease Proposal) attachment titled "NET UTILITIES."

The Government is responsible for paying for specific utilities (marked as XX, to be excluded from Lessor's rent) directly to the provider. The Lessor must ensure these utilities are separately metered, provide and install sub-meters as part of shell rent (sub-meters are not acceptable), and furnish meter numbers and verification to the LCO prior to occupancy. Automatic control systems for HVAC requirements are also mandated.
