Audit of Cost Increases and Schedule Delays for Military Construction Projects at Joint Region Marianas

Abstract

The objective of this audit was to determine why select military construction (MILCON) projects at Joint Region Marianas (JRM) were over budget and delayed. Federal law defines MILCON as construction, development, conversion, or extension of any kind carried out with respect to a military installation, whether to satisfy temporary or permanent requirements, or any acquisition of land or construction of a defense access road. We reviewed nine MILCON projects that Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) managed at JRM, with a programmed amount of $574 million. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Facilities Management, NAVFAC, Air Force, and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) officials experienced schedule delays and cost increases for nine MILCON projects valued at $574.4 million at JRM; however, Guams unique characteristics and environment present challenges in planning and managing MILCON in the region. Specifically, the DoD has experiencedand continues to experienceschedule delays and cost increases.
