Reduction in Real Property Usage
DOJ’sgoal for cost savings by the end of the fiscal year 2012 is $ 335 million. The chart “Progress Towards the Goal” shows what DOJ has achieved to date in real property cost savings.
Breakdown of Reduction
DOJ will utilize shared space within DOJ and with other DOJ components where possible by reviewing its portfolio assets to identify and release underutilized space. It will implement new sustainability guidelines. DOJ intends to seek rent rate reductions through re-negotiation of existing leases or upon their expiration as well as constrain construction costs wherever possible by reducing scope of the projects and implementing space consolidations. DOJ will implement a revised space allocation standard and expand tele-work options where feasible.
The FBI chose to reduce the square footage for its federal construction projects in San Juan and Miami for a total savings of $85 million. This accrued to the GSA goal since it was funded through the Public Buildings Fund.
