Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing Requirements for Naval Air Station North Island, California.
Abstract
Introduction. This report is one in a series that discusses the process used to determine requirements to support the construction of new unaccompanied enlisted personnel housing (barracks). The Secretary of Defense has established a new standard design criterion for future barracks construction. The Military Departments have estimated a cost of $15.4 billion to replace existing barracks over a 30-year period to meet new standards. In FY 1997, the Naval Air Station North Island, California, reported a total requirement of 4,140 barracks spaces, including 1,299 barracks spaces under military control, 752 private housing assets, and a deficit of 2,089 barracks spaces. Audit Objectives. The overall audit objective was to determine the validity of requirement estimates for DoD unaccompanied personnel housing. This report provides the results of the audit of unaccompanied enlisted personnel housing requirements for Naval Air Station North Island California. Audit objectives announced, but not included in this report, will be addressed in a future summary report. Audit Results. Naval Facilities Engineering Command overestimated the Naval Air Station North Island requirement for permanent party enlisted barracks by 943 barrack spaces. As a result, future construction costs for Naval Air Station North Island have been overstated by $34.8 million for their barracks replacement program. For details of the audit results, see Part I.
