GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION
Adaptive of an Historic Resource--Public Information Meeting
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announces the
Monday, June 9, 1997 issuance of a Request For Qualifications for the
Development and Management of a National Historic Landmark. The General
Post Office, a mid-nineteenth century historic property also known as
the Tariff Commission building is located on Square 430, the city block
between 7th & 8th Streets and E and F Streets, NW in Washington,
District of Columbia on June 9, 1997. Response submissions from
interested parties are due August 11, 1997. Copies of the GSA Request
for Qualifications are available upon request from Elizabeth Gibson,
U.S. General Services Administration, National Capital Region,
Portfolio Management, Suite 7600, 7th & D Sts., S.W., Washington, DC
20407. For further information telephone 202-708-5334 or FAX 202-708-
7671. Accordingly, the U.S. General Services Administration invites the
public to a general information meeting on Monday, July 7, 1997 at 6
p.m. at the Naval Heritage Center, 701 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.,
Washington, DC 20004-2608. The entrance is on the ground floor in the
east Market Square Building adjacent to the Archives/Navy Memorial
Metro-Station--Yellow and Green Lines. The purpose of the meeting is to
begin to solicit public participation in the identification of adaptive
use concepts for the public building.
GSA is seeking private investment to restore and reuse an important
historic property that no longer has a viable Federal use. Adaptive use
concepts must be financially feasible and generate long term revenues
for the federal government. GSA intends to retain ownership of the
property for safekeeping while creating the opportunity for the private
sector to change use of the property and keep it accessible for the
public.
For additional information on the federal undertaking see the
Internet Web Page http://www.gsa.gov/regions/r11/ncr.htm. For
additional information on the historic property see the Historic
American Building Survey No. DC-219 and U.S. Department of Interior
National Register No. 69000311.
Dated: June 16, 1997.

Director, Portfolio Management Division, WPT.
