Quick-Reaction Report on Construction of Nells Air Force Base, Nevada, Hospital

Abstract

Introduction We are providing this final quick-reaction report on the construction of a hospital at Nellis Air Force Base (AFB), Nevada, for your information and use. We reviewed the requirements for the proposed construction of a new 129-bed hospital at Nellis AFB. The objective of the audit was to determine if the construction of medical treatment facilities (MTFs) was being planned and programmed to meet essential requirements economically, efficiently, and promptly. The requirements review was performed jointly by the Offices of the Inspectors General of the Departments of Defense (DoD) and Veterans Affairs (VA). The new hospital is being built to replace the existing MTF and to provide additional medical services and facilities to medical beneficiaries of the DoD and the VA. On June 21, 1991, a $54.8 million contract was awarded to begin construction of the hospital. Congress appropriated construction funds of $10.0 million in FY 1990 and $65.3 million in FY 1991 to fund the construction project. Of the total $75.3 million appropriated, $66.0 million was provided to DoD and $9.3 million was provided to VA.
