t FACT SHEET - KEY BUILDING PARKING
SUBJECT This fact sheet provides basic clarifying information
concerning the Key Building lease, its relevance to
employee parking, and is in response to the state-
ments alluded to in the reference.
REFERENCE: Petition dated 4 April 1975 subj. Seeking Relief from
Key Building Parking Increase
1. The Agency does not lease space from the Charles E. Smith
Company. The lease is the General Services Administration (GSA's).
GSA, being the official U. S. Government housekeeper and landlord,
negotiates the lease with the Lessor. (C. E. Smith Co.). The
terms of the lease are available in the GSA Rosslyn Field Office
Buildings Manager's office, Room 126 Architect Building, Wilson
Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia. The present lease for the Key
Building was negotiated for a period from 1 January 1975 to
31 December 1980 for 5 years at a price of $5.49 per square foot.
It covers the rental of all office and special-purpose space
occupied by the Agency. The lease rate includes such items as
janitor service, water, air conditioning, etc., but excludes
heat and electricity which GSA provides for separately. Thirteen
official parking spaces for official vehicles and visitors are
ty~r also included in the lease. Under Public Law 92-313, agencies
are required to reimburse GSA for space occupied in both Federally
owned as well as leased buildings in accordance with a Standard
Level Users Charge (SLUC). We are presently being charged by GSA
under the SLUC at approximately $6.94 per square foot for the
Key Building space. Comparable buildings in the area under lease
to GSA would carry the same charging rate to any other Government
agency.
2. All modifications or improvements. to Agency occupied
space is paid for by the Agency to GSA who either accomplishes
the work itself or contracts with the Lessor and, therefore,
should have no effect on the Lessor's operating costs.
3. The parking areas in Rosslyn area leased buildings,
except for official parking spaces, are owned and under the con-
trol of the Lessor (landlords). The rates in the Key Building
are set by the C. E. Smith Company and are not controlled by
GSA or the Agency. The rates set by C. E. Smith are controlled
by the open market conditions. A survey of GSA-leased buildings
in the area discloses the following parking rates per month:

4. The question has been raised on the petition as to the
terms of the contract between the C. E. Smith Company and the
private (corporate) occupants of the building. This, of course,
would be private information and not under the purview of the
Freedom of Information Act. Historically, however, the Government
is able to obtain more favorable lease conditions than private
Lessors in the same building.
