Abstract

This report responds to your request that we review the Navy's planned relocation and consolidation of the Naval Air Technical Services Facility and the headquarters of the Naval Aviation Engineering Service Unit, currently located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to the Naval Air Station at North Island, California These actions are being taken in response to the recommendations of the 1995 Base Closure and Realignment (BRAC) Commission. You noted a change to the Navy's original plan regarding how these functions would be consolidated at North Island. On the basis of questions raised in your request and discussions with your office, this report addresses (1) the current plan's compliance with the Commission's recommendations, (2) the effect of the new alignment on the original savings estimate, (3) the cost estimate associated with moving the Technical Services Facility and the Engineering Service Unit functions to North Island, and (4) the feasibility of consolidating these functions at less cost in Philadelphia.
