MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director -Comptroller
SUBJECT : Proposed Headquarters Garage Facility
1. This memorandum contains a recommendation for your approval; such
recommendation is contained in paragraph 9.
2. Through its dispatching service conducted from the Headquarters Building
at Langley, the Agency's motor pool provides transportation for approximately 245, 000
people yearly with a fleet of 96 vehicles consisting of buses, limousines, standard vehi-
cles, and trucks. It also performs maintenance and servicing of approximately 186
Agency-owned vehicles at the and overnight interior 25X1A6a
parking for 60 vehicles including buses, limousines, chauffeur-driven vehicles, and
other various Agency-assigned vehicles. The major portion of the other Agency-owned
vehicles are parked at the Headquarters site. 25X1A6a
3. In the near future we must vacate the facility and we have
acquired leased space in the area to meet our immediate needs. However, 25X1A6a
looking to our long-range requirements we believe it sound to consider the construction
of a new garage facility at Headquarters to provide the Agency with a more efficient, less
costly, and more quick-responding motor pool servicing and transportation function. The
following paragraphs set forth our rationale for this judgment together with cost estimates
for the construction of a garage facility at Headquarters.
4. The estimated yearly operational costs attributable to a garage function
located at will include rental, $36, 000; guardpost, $42, 600; additional 25X1A6a
vehicle mileage, $25, 200; and personnel (Chauffeur) overtime, $15, 000; for a total of
$118, 800 per year of excess direct operating costs when compared to a Headquarters site.
5. The proposed garage structure would be located on Agency property in the
vicinity of the powerhouse bounded by the South Parking Lot, Gate Number 2, and the
OL 0 2249

Scattergood-Thorne property. The masonry structure would be approximately 192 feet
long by 70 feet wide and would provide 16, 380 square feet of interior space. Its pro-
posed design includes a one-story, vehicle maintenance/servicing/parking area with
one end of the building raised to two stories to provide a storage area on the base level
and a personnel and administration area on the second level. Other building features
and equipment included are four standard hydraulic lifts, one heavy-duty hydraulic lift,
car wash and drying equipment, a paint and body shop, and interior space to permanently
park six vehicles. After-hours protection will be afforded through the installation of a
security alarm system connected to the Headquarters Building central alarm console,
and a guard position would be eliminated. The exterior design provides for two single
gasoline pumps, a 10, 000-gallon gasoline storage tank, a paved vehicle access-
circulation area, an adjacent parking area for seven visitor vehicles, and a 94-vehicle
parking lot equipped with protective overhead canopies.
6. Although the structure will exist on Agency property, a 50-foot-wide vehi-
cle access -circulation space is required from the rear of the garage in the direction of
the Bureau of Public Roads (BPR) property. Since the existing roads limit positioning of
the building and permit only 25 feet of Agency land behind the garage, it would be essen-
tial that a minimum-sized strip of land 25 feet wide by 290 feet long be obtained from
BPR. Construction of the 94-vehicle parking lot would require a use permit for three
acres of BPR land.
7. The estimated cost of this project would be $703, 000 if construction were
to start immediately . However, it is anticipated that up to 20 months (December 1971)
may be required for architect-engineer selection, architect-engineer design, and admin-
istration and award of contract by the General Services Administration. In view of the
expected cost increase due to inflation of one percent per month, it is estimated that the
award price for this project in December 1971 will be $844, 000.
8. In view of the estimated $844, 000 project cost, the rental and operational
costs of $118, 800 that will be incurred at the garage location could be 25X1A6a
amortized in 7 years if a garage facility were constructed at the Headquarters site.
9. It is recommended that you approve the project proposal for the design
and construction of a new garage facility at the Headquarters site and authorize funds
in the amount of $844, 000 for its implementation.
