handle is hein.gao/gaobabmxr0001 and id is 1 raw text is: UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 PROCUREMENT, LOGISTICS. AND READINESS DIVISION B-211 095 APR IL 20,1983 The Honorable G. William Whitehurst House of Representatives Dear Mr. Whitehurst: Subject: Allegations Concerning Irregularities in Maintenance and Repair Work at Fort Lee and Fort Belvoir, Virginia (GAO/PLRD-83-68) In response to your November 3, 1982, letter, we have reviewed allegations of irregularities concerning three maintenance and repair projects at Fort Lee and Fort Belvoir, Virginia. Your letter stated that the alleged irregularities dealt with installing doors, windows, and siding on one project; installing and then reinstalling windows on another project; and installing and then reinstalling doors and windows on a third project. We talked with, reviewed the files of, and obtained docu- ments from representatives of the Army Corps of Engineers, 'Uorfolk and Baltimore Districts, and representatives of the facilities engineers at both bases. We also visited the work- sites and observed examples of the work done on each project. The information we obtained from the Corps and the Army facili- ties engineers at both bases for the three projects is included in enclosure I. As we advised you in our January 26, 1983, meeting, the Bayport Construction Corp. did the work on all three projects. Corps representatives and the facilities engineers at both bases felt that the work was satisfactory and that the installation and then reinstallation of windows and doors was not due to poor contractor performance. As discussed in enclosure I, some doors and windows recently added to buildings at the two bases had to be removed and reinstalled because the Army subsequently decided to do additional work on these buildings. Therefore, rather than being cases involving poor workmanship, the installation and then reinstallation of doors and windows resulted from the way different projects were planned and funded by the Army.
