LOG ITICS, c! ci AND READINESS DIVISOU1111 114568 B-202187 MARCH 11, 1981 The Honorable Thomas F. Railsback House of Representatives Dear Mr. Railsback: 04( cQ% Subject: 1location of ±+fe Social Security Administration District Office at Galesburg, Illinoijj (PLRD-81-10) In response to your November 13, 1980, request, we have reviewed the relocation of the Social Security Administration District Office at Galesburg, Illinois. You asked that we respond to a letter from Mr. Max E. Simpson of the National Association of Retired Federal Employees, which expressed con- cern about the General Services Administration's decision to move the district office from its existing quarters at 4 L Plaza to the old O.T. Johnson Building on Main Street. The letter indicated that most district office clients and employees opposed the move primarily because of the lack of good and free parking at the Main Street location. It also alleged that the rent was about the same at both locations. Our review disclosed that the General Services Adminis- tration made the appropriate decision in awarding the lease for the 6.T. Johnson Building. Apart from satisfying the legal requirement to give preference to leasing space in buildings of historical significance,' the offer of space in the O.T. Johnson Building was the more economical offer. Over the 10-year term of the lease, the rental cost will be about $200,000 less than the rental cost at 4 L Plaza. Parking at the O.T. Johnson Building, although less con- venient, is available nearby. During our review, we examined pertinent files at the Chicago, Illinois, regional offices of the General Services Administration, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Social Security Administration and talked with re- gional officials of these agencies involved in the relocation. We also visited the existing quarters at 4 L Plaza and the proposed quarters at the O.T. Johnson Building and talked with the Social Security Administration district manager.
