D.C. 208 @ Brach, RELEASED B-177501 1973 The Honorable Ken Hechier a YC2 House of Representatives ! Dear Mr. Hechler: Your letter of November 8, 1972, requested that we examine into several unanswered questions pertaining to a IA-a project to construc~J 1 9usng units at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, CubaJ. These questions centered around a disiutebetwee the me tractor, Burns and , Roe Construction Corporation, and a painting subcontractor, . Mr. William Trautner. In an initial discussion with your office, it was agreed we would review two principal areas in the contract file: (1) the status of the Navy's acceptance of the hous- ing units and (2) whether there were any indications of problems in the quality of workmanship on the housing units. In addition, we are providing some general information you later requested pertaining to a prime contractor's author- ity, under the Armed Services Procurement Regulation, to seize a subcontractor's equipment for nonperformance. We recently discussed our proposed report with your office to insure that we were being fully responsive to your inquiry and are including some additional information re- quested at that time. As also discussed, we are providing the information in this report without onsite verification. As agreed, we are not following our customary practice of obtaining agency comments because of the nature of the in- formation being provided and the fact that, during the re- view, we obtained oral and written agency comments concerning the specific aspects of the contract we were requested to look into. However, before releasing the contents of this letter you may wish to obtain comments from the prime con- tractor in view of the criticism herein of some of its operations. 9~ &q /0 L57 (
