Acquiring And Altering Leased

,)pace Need Revision



T e Postal Service leases 89 million square
het of space at an annual rent of about
* 34.6 million. GAO found that the Postal
Service:
   --Paid rents amounting to $2.24 million
   in 10 major leased facilities while the
   space was vacant during long periods
   of layout preparation and alteration.
   --Frequently did not advertise its space
   requirements and obtained only limited
   competition in acquiring leased space.
   --Often did not prepare proper independ-
   ent detailed cost estimates when it
   contracted on a sole-source basis for
   alterations.
GAO is recommending actions designed to
prove Postal Service's leasing proce-
d res and practices.
