§ 1.323. Requests for space.
Agency heads are responsible for requesting additional space, if needed, or for renewing leases. To request additional space or to renew a lease, alternatives to doing so should be reviewed by agency heads, including the possibility of consolidations within their agency or with other agencies in already-leased or Commonwealth-owned facilities. Agency heads’ efforts, in this regard, shall be fully detailed in any request to the Department of General Services for space.
(1) Upon receipt of the Department of General Services’ response to any request for space, the agency head of the requesting agency shall direct a staffperson to prepare and provide the Department of General Services with whatever agency authorization is required, and to cooperate and comply with the Department of General Services’ decision.
(2) Consistent with the Downtown Location Law (73 P. S. § § 821—840) and guidelines developed by the Department of General Services, agency heads are strongly encouraged to lease space in downtown areas, whenever possible. The Department of General Services will take all measures necessary to ensure that the goals of the Downtown Location Law are met, and that lessors with facilities located in downtown areas are provided with opportunities to lease those facilities to Commonwealth agencies.
