The USPS Office Of Inspector General posted the following on the Federal Business Opportunities website:
The United States Postal Service (USPS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) plans to issue a Firm Fixed Price Contract for a multi-phased Office Renovation to their Headquarters facility located at 1735 N Lynn Street, Arlington, VA. The work includes all labor and materials necessary to complete the renovations in accordance with USPS OIG approved specifications and drawings. Proposers should recognize the building is occupied and the project will be completed in multiple phases to avoid disruption of facility operations. The estimated cost of the project is between $4.8 million and $5.6 million, with construction completion within 365 calendar days from receipt of notice to proceed for the total project. The project consists of renovating 123,126 interior sf in an existing 12-story commercial office building. Work includes demolition and new work on 6 floors. Demolition work includes but is not limited to, interior partitions, casework, acoustical ceilings, lighting, mechanical diffusers and plumbing fixtures. All mechanical ductwork shall remain. New work includes new gypsum board partitions, new finishes throughout including; acoustical ceiling tiles, gypsum bulkheads, painted walls, broadloom carpet and vinyl tiles. Work also includes new lighting, electrical and IT wiring throughout and limited mechanical, plumbing and sprinkler work. This is a privately owned facility, leased by the USPS. All necessary permits will be required.
As part of a recent lease renewal, the landlord may fund payment requests related to this project. All payment requests will be submitted to the USPS OIG for approval, and then they may be forwarded to the lease management company for payment by the landlord.
Why is it that the USPS always pours a ton of MONEY into PROPERTYS they don’t even OWN??? Of course the REAL OWNERS of the PROPERTY are WILLING, THEY KNOW THE USPS ARE SUCKERS!! Why don’t YOU IDIOTS, BUY the PROPERTY FIRST? Oh yeah, i forgot that would make to much sense, and that’s NOT the way thing are done, RIGHT!!!!! Who ever makes these decisions to do this, all around the Country should BE FIRED!!!!! The people who OWN these Buildings are laughing all the way to the BANK, and when the lease is OVER THEY THROW YOU OUT ON YOUR A$$E$ and tell you they don’t want to renew the lease SUCKERS!!!!! but thanks for the $5 million dollars in UP-GRADES!!! :)” wouldn’t it be more cost effective to BUY AND FIX UP, then it is to RENT and FIX UP FOR SOMEBODY ELSE????? I have a basement that needs to be fixed up and you can lease it for a while,,, 200k to do a renovation and only 5k a month for a 2 yr lease. give me a call @ 1-URA-DAM-FOOL
Glad you can read. But can you COMPREHEND? It says they MAY be forwarded to the lease management company. AGAIN , doesn’t say WILL!
Only thing that is clear, is that you clearly don’t understand…..
As part of a recent lease renewal, the landlord may fund payment requests related to this project. All payment requests will be submitted to the USPS OIG for approval, and then they may be forwarded to the lease management company for payment by the landlord
This is absolutely ridiculous!!! Are they working in inhumane conditions??? I THINK NOT!! The fact that they even have the gall to present this request at this time with everything that is going on within the Postal Service is absolutely assinine.
“…for payment by the landlord. “ sounds pretty absolute.
I can also read. It say MAY fund payment requests. Not WILL. There is a difference.
Read the article dimwits – it reads as follows,
“As part of a recent lease renewal, the landlord may fund payment requests related to this project. All payment requests will be submitted to the USPS OIG for approval, and then they may be forwarded to the lease management company for payment by the landlord. “
Money here—Money there…But never for those whom turn the gears to make it function—The Employee’s !!!
I’m waiting for a year and a half worth of back pay for being wrongfully accused of stealing $50.00. Since mid-September I have been waiting for this money. As of today, no backpay. The Postal Service is full of management officials that are corrupt and mean spirited. Lawyers, union personnel and others cannot bring me the back pay, BUT THE POST OFFICE CAN SPEND $5 MILLION FOR RENOVATIONS. GO FIGURE!!!! GOD WILL GET YOU ALL!!!! IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE SOLUTIONS, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. I HOPE THE RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW.
What about me?
SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS? Where did they find the $$$$$$$$?
Peons, you aren’t seeing the big picture. No money for craft… Always gots money for me and my boys!
This is crazy! In times where they claim the PO is running out of money they want to spend $5 million to renovate. Live with it, like we have to. I complained that two out of 3 toilets in the ladies room didn’t work properly. They “fixed” one. Not properly, but it’s usable. And they replaced a faucet on one of the two sinks. Which I might add they did backwards. You have to turn the knobs the OPPOSITE direction for it to work. There was nothing wrong with the faucet, I just wanted the two toilets fixed. They can’t even do that right.
Nobody can follow simple directions. I’ve always done without if I don’t have the money to do something. If there is no money, quit spending!
You have to be kidding!!!! With all the other things that money could be used for. Just another example of why the USPS should go private. If you don’t have the money you don’t spend it. I hate to see it, but the free ride has to stop.
