The GSA recently held a competition for the lead architecture firm for the renovation of 50 UN Plaza in San Francisco to be paid for with stimulus money. In a clear violation of the spirit of the stimulus package and the intent as explained by President Obama, the London based architecture firm of Foster+Partners was awarded the contract. The project, worth $120 million, had strict compliance rules, yet the GSA awarded the contract to a foreign firm and profits from the venture will flow to London.
