Appropriations for Military Construction Projects in the United Kingdom Exceed Estimated Air Force Costs

Gao ID: PLRD-83-9 October 21, 1982

GAO reported on Department of the Air Force requests for funding of project design and construction supervision, inspection, and overhead (SIOH) for military construction projects in the United Kingdom.

GAO found that the Air Force requests more design and construction SIOH funds than it needs for military construction projects in the United Kingdom, because it does not adjust its current methodology for requesting funds to take into consideration a cost-sharing agreement between the United States and the British Government which lowers the cost of these services. GAO found that the Air Force could reduce its construction SIOH requests for projects in the United Kingdom by $2.3 million and $3.7 million for fiscal years 1982 and 1983, respectively.
