This document, "EXHIBIT H - Net Utilities INCLUDE WITH RLP," provides specific clauses and requirements related to net utilities for lease agreements. It is intended to be included with an "RLP ATTACHMENT ‘NET UTILITIES.’" The exhibit details conditions under which utilities (electric and/or gas) and/or janitorial services are excluded from the base rent, meaning the Government will pay for these separately.

• NU 1.01 NET UTILITIES: RENT AND OTHER CONSIDERATION (FEB 2026): Defines terms for leases where utilities are not included in rent. Requires separate metering for utilities paid directly by the Government, with sub-meters not being acceptable. Lessor must provide and install separate meters and furnish meter numbers and verification of Government usage only to the Lease Contracting Officer (LCO) prior to occupancy. Proration is not allowed. An automatic control system for HVAC requirements is also mandated.
• NU 1.02 ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL CONTROLS (JUN 2012): Applicable if the Government pays separately for electricity. Limits office space controlled by a single switch or light control system to 500 SF per meter.
• NU 1.03 HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONING - Shell (FEB 2026): For non-fully serviced leased space over 10,000 ABOA SF (or below 10,000 ABOA SF if market permits), requires an automatic air or water economizer cycle for all air handling equipment and a fully functional building automation system with a service and maintenance contract.
• NU 1.04 UTILITIES SEPARATE FROM RENTAL/BUILDING OPERATING PLAN (FEB 2026): If utilities are excluded from rent, the Lessor must obtain a statement from a registered professional engineer confirming system compliance with performance standards (e.g., ASHRAE Standard 90.1). This section also reiterates requirements for separate metering, submittal of meter information, and automatic control systems. It mandates a Building Operating Plan detailing startup and shutdown times for building systems.

Bidders should carefully review this exhibit to understand the specific responsibilities and costs associated with utilities and janitorial services if they are excluded from the base rent. This includes requirements for metering, HVAC controls, building automation systems, and the submission of engineering statements and operating plans. Failure to comply with these requirements could impact proposal evaluation and contract performance.
