HEADQUARTERS POWERPLANT
1. Mr. Fitzwater indicated that ongoing discussions between
our agencies had addressed the feasibility of the Agency to take
over the MEO of the total powerplant in order to provide the
ground station level of M&O required by the Agency. He then
requested that GSA delegate authority to the Agency to maintain
and operate the powerplant.
2. Mr. Davis stated that GSA is prepared to entertain an
arrangement to delegate responsibility and authority to the Agency
to "operate" the powerhouse and expressed the following thoughts:
a. Such delegation to be considered relative to the
caveat that there is no effect on SLUC reduction on the rest
of the Headquarters Building. (i.e., No reduction in SLUC
for Headquarters Building, and the Agency must fund operation
of powerhouse through additional Agency funding.)
b. GSA has had a significant problem in staffing this
operation due to building location and security. considerations.
GSA believes the Agency will have similar problems with
staffing.
c. GSA will continue to maintain and operate the
remainder of the buildings at the Headquarters site.
d. In times of national emergency, the powerplant is
a very critical function and GSA agrees there is a compelling
need for the Agency to maintain it.
e. The delegation is to "operate it only." There will
be no change in the billing for utilities, and no change in
the source of capital improvements.
f. Further discussions and coordination between GSA and
the Agency are to be arranged through Mr. Langfeld in order
to study and establish the specifics of proposed delegation,
the resolution of details, the determination of the timing
and implementation of the transition of responsibilities,
and the establishment of ongoing interface between GSA and
the Agency in this area.
