The overall audit objective was to evaluate significant increases in base realignment and closure military construction project costs over the estimated costs provided to the Commission. This report provides the audit results of two projects, valued at $24.2 million, related to the realignment of the Naval Regional Contracting Center to the Naval Aviation Supply Office, both in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the realignment of the Naval Damage Control Training Center, Philadelphia, to the Naval Training Center, Great Lakes, Illinois.

Project P-557S, "Hull Technician 'A' School," was realigned to building 520 at the Naval Training Center Great Lakes as part of the closure of the Naval Station Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Hull Technician School will share building 520 with the Advanced Hull Technician School, which is being realigned from the Naval Training Center San Diego, California, under project P-608T. The two projects are programmed for $20.1 million. We are issuing this as a quick-reaction report to preclude the issuance of a request for proposal for renovations of building 520 pending resolution of differences in specifications and because time is limited for adjusting and resubmitting the budget information. The overall audit objective was to determine the accuracy of Defense base realignment and closure military construction budget data. This report identifies the results of the audit of project P-608T, "Building Modifications," as they relate to project P-557S. Because both projects will be collocated within building 520 at the Naval Training Center Great Lakes, the costs for both projects are commingled and not easily differentiated for the renovation of building 520. The results of our audit on project P-608T was addressed in Report No. 94-108, "Quick-Reaction Report on the Audit of Defense Base Realignment and Closure Budget Data for Naval Station Treasure Island, California," May 19, 1994.
