American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Projects to Replace the Fort Buchanan Substation and Repair the Roof and Exterior at the Army Reserve Center Aguadilla, Puerto Rico

摘要

The DOD Office of Inspector General is performing audits of DOD's implementation of Public Law 111-5, 'American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009,' February 17, 2009 (Recovery Act). We selected two Army Reserve Recovery Act Projects located in Puerto Rico to review (see the Audit Methodology section). Project 74299 to repair the substation at Fort Buchanan. The design and build project will replace the existing 10 million volt-ampere (MVA) substation with a new 20 MVA substation capable of handling current and future loads. One of the two transformers will serve as a backup and will automatically switch on when the primary transformer is shut down for maintenance. Project 74649 to restore and modernize Army Reserve Center Aguadilla buildings 807 and 808. Restoration and modernization will include repairing walls, ceilings, bathrooms, the electrical system, air conditioning, and wiring; replacing pipes containing lead; removing asbestos; and installing a wet pipe fire suppression system.
