Logan DIGEST: Request for reformation of lease ased on allegation of unilatera mistake is denied where Government contracting official had neither actual nor constructive knowledge of mistake. Mr. John D. Logan has requested our decision concerning a disagreement involving a lease agree- ment (GS-10B-03794) that he has with the General Services Administration (GSA). Mr. Logan agreed, by lease dated October 4, 1968, to lease to GSA office space in Walla Walla, Washington, at an annual rent of $22,325. That lease was for 10 years, with GSA having the option to renew for two 5-year terms with the same terms and conditions applying. The lease also provided that after 5 years the Government could terminate the lease by giving 120 days notice and that Mr. Logan could terminate the lease by giving 150 days notice. After 5 years, Mr. Logan requested a rent increase and stated that he would terminate the lease if it was not granted. GSA agreed to renegotiate the lease, and on August 9, 1974, entered into a supplemental lease agreement with Mr. Logan. That agreement modified three terms of the original lease. The rent was increased by approximately 35 percent. Mr. Logan's termination rights were removed, and the old rental price was deleted from the renewal option clause. At the appropriate time before the end of the 10-year term, GSA notified Mr. Logan that it was renewing the lease for 5 years. Mr. Logan responded
