B-186398 1 (1976-09-13)

handle is hein.gao/gaobadczn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: DECISION 0~LCR ~> 4* ,.-..,~ ~ ~ THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D .C. 20548 FILE: MATTER 6IGEST: B-186398 OF: DATE: SEP 13 17 ) o Department of the Army--availability of appropriations for traffic light on State highway Costs of procuring and installing traffic control light on Federal property to regulate traffic at intersection of Federal installation and State highway may be paid by the Army since the structure is located entirely on Federal property, for the benefit primarily of Federal employees or military members, and is necessary for safe ingress and egress to the military installations. 36 Comp. Gen. 286 (1956) and 51 id. 135 (1971) distinguished. This is in response to a request for an advance decision from the Acting Comptroller of the Army as to the availability of money appropriated to the Department of the Army for the acquisition and installation on Federal Government property of a traffic light to regulate traffic at the intersection of a State highway and an Army installation. The State highway bisects Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, an Army installation. Traffic must cross Claremont Farm Road, the State road, to travel from one part of Carlisle Darracks to the other. A local traffic study as well as two serious accidents at the intersection where traffic moving from one side of the base to the other crosses Claremont Farm Road have convinced both Army and local officials of the need for a traffic light at this intersection. However, local authorities have declined to purchase a traffic light because of insufficient funds. They have agreed, however, to maintain and repair a traffic light if the Army purchases and installs it. Although recognizing that prior decisions of this Office at 36 Comp. Gen. 286 (1956), and 51 id. 135 (1970) have precluded the availability of appropriations for installation of traffic lights, the Army contends that this case may be distinguishable in that the traffic light could be located entirely upon Federal property, and that the local road actually bisects the Federal installation. PUBLISHED DECISION . 5 Comp. Gen ....... I
