handle is hein.gao/gaobadhzl0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION / OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 UNITED FILE:B-158792 DATE: February 12, 1980 MATTER OF: National Visitors Center DIGEST: GAO finds no basis to object to Department of Interior's proposed settlement of National Visitors Center project. The National Park Service of the Department of the Interior (Interior) has -asked us for an advance decision on the propriety of a proposed settlement with The George Hyman Construction Company (Hyman) for work performed (Project 2) on the National Visitors Center. The principal question is whether the fee, tentatively agreed upon between Interior and Hyman, complies with the limitation on fees under 41 U.S.C. S 254(b) (1976). The National Visitors Cent r construction project began as a privately financed arrangement between the owners of Union Station in Washington, D. C., and Hyman. It was originally contemplated that Interior would lease the facilities from the owners. See National Visitors Center Facilitation Act of 1968, 40 U.S.C. § 801 (1974). Subsequently, this simple arrangement evolved into a complex, multi-party financial and management arrangement with Interior becoming directly involved in construction of the facilities. Our audit report, The Status and Problems in Constructing the National Visitors Center, April 4, 1977, PSAD-77-93, concluded that when Interior became a party to the cost-type construction contract between Hyman and the Union Station owners and used Federal funds to finance the construction, the Federal procurement rules were applicable to the extent Federal funds were expended.. Interior's request for this dectison was prompted in part by our audit report.
