IMIZIORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director (Administration)
23 May 1953
SUBJECT: Alterations in North, Central and South Buildings
The following are pertinent facts in connection with the
alterations in North and Central basements and attic of South Build-
ing for TSS:
14 Contract awarded by Public Buildings Service, 14 April
1952 in the amount of $153,700. Work began on 18 April 1952.
2. Eleven (11) change orders were issued by Public
Buildings Service to basic contract, totalling approximately
$11,000. Each of these change orders involved extensions of
time in the contract. The attic of South Building was
completed in September 1952 and occupied during that month.
The contract was completed 3 March 1953.

3. Prior to the completion of the contract, the utiliza-
tion of five (5) different rooms in North Building was changed
which required extensive alterations costing approximately
$5,600.
4, From 1 December 1952 to 30 April 1953, 180 new items
were requested. Of this number approximately 50% have been
completed. Commitments exist from Public Buildings Service
that they will complete the work as required.
S. Frequently during the progress of the work PBS
craftsmen were not permitted in some areas to accomplish their
work because of classified activities in certain of the
rooms. It is not always possible to get Public Buildings Service
personnel on scheduled dates and the fact that TSS work must
go on, the constant interruptions have made it extremely
difficult for PBS to complete many of the items.
6. Discussion with on Friday, 22 May
indicates the following:
a. That TSS has held up at least 50% of the pending
work because of lack of equipment which has yet to be
delivered. CA transfer press, a camera, and a forging
equipment.)
b. That one (1) piece of equipment has yet to be
ordered.

c. That all of the requirements for the installation of
new equipment not yet delivered are not knawn and cannot now
be specified.
d. That he has not complained about the progress of any
work except in the case of the removal of the stairway, which
was more difficult to accomplish because of questions raised
by the PBS Fire Marshall and others.
e. That he is completely satisfied with the progress of the
work to date and that jointly we have estimated that due to the
lack of equipment and other factors that the completion of this
job may take up to 90 days additional time.
