Final Report on the Audit of Architect-Engineer Contracting at the Officer in Charge of Construction, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Contracts, Mediterranean, Madrid, Spain

摘要

This is our final report on the audit of Architect-Engineer Contracting for the Officer in Charge of Construction, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Contracts, Mediterranean, for your information and use. This is the fourth in a series of reports issued as part of the audit of architect- engineer (A-E) contracting. The Contract Management Directorate made the audit from August 1989 through July 1990. When we expanded the audit scope to include Navy A-E contracting procedures in Europe, the audit objectives were limited to evaluating the system for awarding architect-engineer contracts through reviewing the internal controls. In fiscal years 1987 and 1988, 368 DoD activities reported 21,770 architect-engineer contracts (valued at over $25,000 each) totaling $4.8 billion. The Officer in Charge of Construction, Mediterranean (OICC-MED) reports through the Atlantic Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC). There were 48 direct A-E contracts at OICC-MED, which excludes 'indirect contracts' (those contracts issued through the host nation governments), valued at over $25,000 each, totaling $6,976,000.
