The proposed relocation of the Air Fnrce Communications
Service (AFCS) from Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base, Missouri, to
Scott Air Force Base, Illinois was studied. The Air Force
estimated the proposed changes would save about $23.9 million
annually, result in one-time costs of about $34.5 million, and
avoid-time costs of about $5.8 million. Finilings/Conclusions:
GAO estimated the proposed AFCS move would rtsult in annual
recurring savings of about $19.6 million, one-time costs of
about $33.4 million, and one-time cost avoidanc.; of about $6.1
million. Most of the rec.urring savings are due to reduced
staffing requirements. The Air Force estimate for savings from
reduced operations at Richards-Gebaur is lower primarily because
of different bases ased to estimate the cost cf providing base
operating support. The Air Force also overlccked certain
continuing operating costs which would result in a lower savings
estimate. Personnel transferred to Scott and other bases would
encounter waiting lists for on-base housing and ivould need to be
paid quarters' allowance. Relocation costs are estimated at
$425,247 less than the Air Force estimates, and equipment and
facility renovation costs are estimated at $62-'5,593 more than
the Ail Force estimates. (RRS)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaabro0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
