Sec. 101-5.104-2  Basis for determining economic feasibility.



    (a) Whenever possible, determination of the economic feasibility of 

a proposed centralized service shall be based upon standard data on the 

relationship of the size of the Federal building, the number of 

occupants, location, and other factors pertinent to the type of 

centralized service being considered.

    (b) In the absence of standard data on which a determination of 

economic feasibility can be based, or where such data must be 

supplemented by additional factual information, a formal feasibility 

study may be made by GSA or a CASU workgroup, in coordination with local 

agencies to be involved, prior to a final determination to proceed with 

the furnishing of a centralized service. Generally, a formal feasibility 

study will be made only if provision of the proposed centralized service 

would involve the pooling of staff, equipment, and space which occupying 

agencies otherwise would be required to use in providing the service for 

themselves. Examples of centralized services which may require formal 

studies include printing and duplicating plants and similar facilities.

    (c) On the basis of experience under the centralized services 

program, GSA will develop criteria as to cost comparisons, production 

needs, building population, number of agencies involved, and other 

appropriate factors for consideration in determining the practicability 

of establishing various types of centralized services.
