Same Subject
1. 'You were asked by the Executive Director for your comments on the
reference memorandum, which is attached.
2. You were specifically asked to comment on Option_ 6 contained in that
memorandum. Our people believe that the cost estimates of ntioned in
Option #6 are low by about The NPIC estimate calls for the leasing of
warehouse space, totalling -we do not believe the estimate matches the
price of good quality ware e; nor does it include costs of security,
safety, storage racks, etc. (The external warehouse would have to be
temperature-controlled for the vast amounts of paper used in the NPIC operations.)
3. From our perspective, the most significant drawback to option #6 involves
logistics support. It should be noted that under this proposal, the space
25X1 currently supporting the central supply operations will have to
be relocated from the operational elements which they support. I expect that this
will result in a severe adverse impact on logistical support to NPIC.
4. With respect to accelerating the departure by the Office of Imagery
25X1 Analysis (OIA) we have looked at this matter on a number of
occasions. Whichever way we cut it, the costs of such an effort would exceed $10
million; the Original Headquarters Building (OHB), as you know, lacks sufficient
power to accommodate any substantial increase in requirements until our backfill
program gets under way; and we are pushing to the maximum extent possible to get
OSWR into the New Headquarters Building in order to accommodate the OIA move into
the CHB.
5. Please let me know if you would like more detailed information on this
subject.

Attached is a report from NPIC on
six options for accommodating the
additional image analysts they will
need over the next two to three years.
I believe the cost estimates to be
reasonable but approximate. Should
you desire to pursue any of these
options, we should more thoroughly
scrub the associated cost estimate.

serious questions remain as to the advisability of undertaking this or any
other short-term solution. The cost-space ratio for the option is high, and
the resultant renovation is redundant since the OIA space will still require
renovation once vacated. The solution also preempts much needed on-site
storage space, leading thereby to heavier dependence on external warehouse
operations and an increase in staff to support those operations. Moreover, a
portion of the space included in this option is intended to provide turnaround
accommodations for activities temporarily displaced by renovations elsewhere
in the building. The loss of this turnaround space clearly will cause delay
and higher costs for already planned renovation activities. Finally, 11,000
square feet can provide only temporary postponement of the day when OIA must

Review of NPIC Space Requirements
1. At your request the--.Facilities Management Division
(FMD) has reviewed the Option'-.~ proposal by NPIC. On the
surface the proposed solution hss no impact to FMD and little
if any impact to any of the Agencr's other space problems. The
NPIC requirements as stated are two',fold. First, there is an
immediate need to provide turnaround _a ace___f_or__necessary
renovations. Second, there is a growing need for analyst space
25X1 with as many as 0 new analysts arriving,, at NPIC by the end of
the year. The proposed option 6 solution addresses both NPIC
space problems.
2. What should be noted is that the option 6 solution does
have operational impacts internal_,_to_ NPIG_and.. iuvolv.ir~g the
Office of Logistics personnel assigned there. The space on the
ground floor that would be converted currently supports the
25X1 central supply operation The proposal states
that external warehouse space will be leased to house these
activities and this action will reduce response in filling
supply requests as the storage for bulk supplies will be
offsite. The security required for such an offsite facility
may add to the costs shown. Operational questions such as what
level of support could be provided from an external warehouse
in inclement weather should be further studied. Temperature
and humidity controls may also be required for paper products.
3. As to the issue of accelerating the movement of OIA
before March 1989 the situation has not improved since last
studied on 8 January 1987. The problems surrounding the early
(pre-March 1989) relocation of OIA remain:
a. Lacking vacant space at the OHB some offices would

need to move off compound; and stay out for the next
six years while backfill is completed.
b. The rough cost estimate still exceeds $10 million
in 1987 dollars.
c. The OHB lacks sufficient power until the backfill
program begins and upgrades the transformer vaults.
d. Best current schedule would put OIA in OHB by
January 1988 at great expense, only 15 months earlier
than if we do nothing.
4. In conclusion, FMD reluctantly agrees that Option 6 is
viable. It is unfortunate that the solution to the space
problem comes at the expense of the Logistics support to the
NPIC program.
