HRD-80-37 1 (1980-01-02)

handle is hein.gao/gaobababo0001 and id is 1 raw text is: COMPTROLLER GENRAL OF THE UNITED STATES r -= ,,WASHINGTON. D.C. 20548 JANUARY 2,1980 The Honorable Jamie L. Whitten Chairman, Committee on Appropriations ! 6! House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: Subject: alysis of Potential Alternative Sites or the Proposed New San Diego Naval Hospita- (HRD-80-37) Your July 31, 1979, letter requested that we evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the sites the Navy is considering for the new Naval Regional Medical Center in San Diego, California. The Department of Defense is plan- ning to request funds for initial construction in fiscal year 1981. The total cost of the project is currently estimated to be $293 million. Beginning in 1971, the Navy made a series of studies evaluating various sites and designs for replacing the medi- cal center. The Navy's most recent study, which evaluates 20 alternative sites in the San Diego area, concludes that a 39-acre parcel of land in Florida Canyon, adjacent to the existing medical center complex in Balboa Park, represents the best site alternative. The enclosure to this letter describes the results of our analysis of the Navy's plans to replace the medical center. We focused on three primary site alternatives: Florida Canyon, Helix Heights, and Balboa Park. (See pp. 5 and 6 of the enclosure.) On December 7, 1979, the Secretary of the Navy approved the decision to acquire--through con- demnation--the property in Florida Canyon. We concur in the Navy's conclusion that Florida Canyon is the preferable site and support its plan to initiate condemnation proceedings to obtain fee-simple ownership of the Florida Canyon property. However, if the terms of final land acquisition call for the Navy to accept a lease rather than ownership of the property, as contemplated under a prior memorandum of understanding between the Navy and the city of San Diego, we believe the Navy should reconsider its options.
