The hard - surfaced sections
of both Archer and Sjolander

17th annua! conference. Purpose
Tbe agency’s auditors studied
the operations of 17 private c®
tractors in 20 locations and
found what GAO called 63 tig.
nifleant lease arrangements—
those where annual rentals to
rated *50,000 or more a year-in
li st those locations. ~ ^------------
Neither the contractors nor
toe locations were Identified,
but toe GAO said most of the
work was done under negotiated
contracts. These are priced ®
the basis of cost to tire contrac-
tor, and tire contractor is able to
charge off to toe government aa
costa toe rent paid for tire land
buildings.
Armed services procurement
regulations permit this practice,
GAO said, white severely res-
tricting tire amount which a rare
tractor may charge to the gov
mme»t,on owned facilities.
By tire time ail of toe 63
leases studied by GAO expire,
therefore, tire extra cost to the
government tom# rent
charges will be *55.8 million. II
all of tire team are renewed, It
will be *86.3 million
And, GAO noted, 23 of the
leases have already come up for
renewal and all have been ns
When GAO ashed toe contrac
tors why they leased rather
Uan purchased facilities, nine
cited “toe baste testability ol
government business and toe
greater risk they would assume
by purchasing facilities."
However, GAO said, “We
found that five of tire nine con
tractors executed several teas-
ing agreements for initial tease
periods of 10 years or longer. It
would seem that in such in-
stances contractors were willing
to assume the risk of long-term
