SUBJECT Project Poseidon
("411"-
1. Poseidon is a multi-purpose move sequence designed ttrst
51
to provide office expansion for OJCS; secondly, to relocate D;Q,%F,?`
from the 7C corridor to, in part, vacate space which can be used
for OGC and other component expansions and third, free-up as
much space as possible for Projec
2. It should be noted that OL does not at present have any
reserved space within the Headquarters Building which can be used
for turn-around operations. Thus, it is necessary to "squeeze"
components in certain areas which are considered under utilized,
and also to move selected components from the Headquarters Building
to Rosslyn to free sufficient space for temporary relocations. Of
interest is that we have selected DD/A elements to be moved from
the Headquarters Building on the grounds that we have little or no
leverage in trying to move other Directorate components out of
Headquarters.
3. Poseidon Phase I requires a total of 16 moves with a total
estimated cost of $251,512. The move sequence and a breakdown of
the costs are reflected in Attachment A. The rationale used for
determining costs resulted in figuring on the high side, therefore,
we applied standard reconfiguration costs to temporary as well as
permanent relocations and used medium level pricing for those areas
designated as receiving "office excellence" furnishings. STATINTL
4. Poseidon presents specific advantages for the DD/O as the
LA and AF Divisions will each achieve a high degree of consolidation
with LA
1 offering to relenquish "5,000 to 7,000"
sq. ft. in areas where space is under utilized provided it can
achieve a satisfactory degree of consolidation. Phase II, as shown
on Attachment B, lists the move sequence to consolidate the LA and
AF Divisions. These Phase II moves have.not been costed as we need
an approval to proceed with Phase I prior to resolving the exact
mechanics and costing of Phase II. Phase I does partially accomplish
the total mission as it removes a large portion of AF Division from
the 7th floor, and provides expansion space for 0GC (636 sq. ft. in
7C corridor) and for OJCS, which will increase it's holdings by 2310
sq. ft. in the 2E corridor. Total reserve or turn-around space

available upon completion of Phase I is 6,595 sq. ft. Phase'II
completes the relocation and consolidation of AF, including the
removal of the last AF element on the 7th floor, and gives us
11,937 sq. ft. of free or reserve space available for any future
moves necessary to establish Project SAFE.
5. We have constructed the Poseidon move sequence as a
project separate and distinct from plans to replace the Magazine
Building or any space assets that may be realized from acquisition
of a new building. In other words, we have tried to work with what
we have rather than what we might acquire some distance downstream.
6. Attachment C'is a current. listing of major jobs as scheduled
which we feel will keep the GSA in-house force tied down through
the middle of January 1975. Ergo, we can complete our Poseidon
planning from this date forward through December and be ready to
act on the first moves prior to the end of January.
7. The 11,937 sq. ft. of space provided for Project SAFE
does give the DD/.A certain flexibility. He could elect to reposition
components moved to Rosslyn (such as ISAS and Incentive Awards) back
into the Headquarters Building, and he may wish to retain 1,000 to
1,500 sq. ft. of reserved space for future emergencies, i.e. task
force requirements and/or turn around for temporary relocations.
Any options so exercised would, of course, reduce the total available
for SAFE.
