1. This memorandum reaffirms OIT's policy for coordinating our
work in support of Agency domestic space renovations and relocations.
25X1 2. Per Headquarters Notice dated 30 March 1988, the Office
of Logistics (OL) serves as the Directorate of Administration's (DA's)
project office for all facets of Agency space renovations and
relocations. OIT fully supports OL's role. Our relationship with OL is
much the same as the relationship between a subcontractor and the prime
contractor. OL is responsible for managing the overall accomplishment
of the work, and OIT is responsible for performing our part of the job
within mutually agreed schedules and resources.

the construction and occupancy of
for all work outside the Headquarters compound except
The Director of Logistics has appointed these individuals as the overall
project managers for space renovation and relocation activities. OIT
will work with and through these individuals for our support to OL.
5. OIT's office-level systems integration contractor, General
Electric Company (GE), will assist the OIT senior points of contact by
maintaining detailed schedules for OIT activities. GE will also
maintain informal working relationships with their counterparts assigned
to OL to ensure that lines of communication and coordination are kept
open.
6. As the DA project office, the Office of Logistics is
responsible for:
a. developing and maintaining overall schedules for the work in
coordination with OIT and other involved DA offices;
b. coordinating issues, schedules, and overall relocation/renovation
requirements with the customer component;
c. acquiring and providing all of the funding required to accomplish
the work; and
d. serving as the overall project manager for the efforts.
It is imperative that OIT personnel understand and support CL's role as
project manager. Our job is to work with and through OL so that the
Directorate of Administration as a whole provides excellent customer
service.
7. Some customer components may wish to use their relocation or
renovation as an opportunity to initiate major enhancements or changes
to their computing and communication services. OIT's first priority is
to renovate or relocate their existing services. Any extensions or
significant modifications will require additional funding from the
customer component or OL. It is imperative that OIT establish a
baseline of service for each relocation and renovation so that changes
and additions can be appropriately costed and funded. In our recent
experiences with the PBX, OIT learned a valuable lesson. We allowed our
customers' requirements to grow beyond our ability to fund them. While
14,-,2 wish to be responsive to our customers' needs, there are limits to
c:r resources. We must live within the funding levels provided to us.
