Project Planning Resulted in Outstanding Building Deficiencies and Decreased Functionality of the Main Fire Station at Naval Station Great Lakes.

摘要

We initiated this audit in response to allegations to the Defense Hotline. Our overall objective was to determine whether Project RM-005-07, Repair Fire Station Building 106, at Naval Station Great Lakes was adequately justified and properly planned. We also addressed the Defense Hotline allegations and determined whether the fire station renovation design incorporated the appropriate criteria; whether replacing the fire station would have been more economical than the renovation project; and whether the Navy would incur additional costs for basic items not included in the renovation.
