handle is hein.gao/gaobabnbh0001 and id is 1 raw text is: UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 NATIONAL SICURITY AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS DIVISION B-212292 AUGUST 5, 1983 The Honorable David L. Boren United States Senate Dear Senator Boren: Subject: Allegations Concerning The Construction and Acceptance of the Gymnasium at Grafenwoehr, West Germany (GAO/NSIAD-83-15) In response to your request of November 1, 1982, we have examined selected aspects of the construction and the Army's acceptance of a gymnasium at Grafenwoehr, West Germany. The gymnasium and other recreational facilities were completed in November 1981 and cost approximately $3.2 million. You expressed concern that the Army may have paid for construction that did not meet contract specifications and that the Army may have accepted the facility without a proper inspection. In addition, you asked us to determine if the following problems cited by your constituent have merit: --Shoddy workmanship and a rumor that the Army was forced to accept the gymnasium because the contractor refused to make repairs. --Racquetball courts were unacceptable because the court walls were breaking apart after only 1 month of play and a 1/2-inch gap existed between the floor and walls. --Wall lockers were flimsy and not secure. --Money from locker rental fees ($2.00 a month) was being used to replace the lockers and racquetball court walls.
