American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Project to Design and Construct a Child Development Center at Fort Carson, Colorado
Abstract
The DoD Office of Inspector General is assessing the Army's overall planning of Recovery Act funded military construction (MILCON) projects of child development centers (Project No. D2009-DOOOAE-0268.000, "Recovery Act-Funded Military Construction of Army Child Development Centers"). In performing this assessment, we considered factors beyond the DD 1391 justifications, including whether the Army most equitably apportioned Recovery Act funds to base locations where the need for child care was greatest. We used data projections through FY 20lS to compare the child care needs of Fort Carson with the needs of the following six other Army installations receiving Recovery Act funding to build child development centers: Fort Belvoir, Virginia; Fort Bragg, North Carolina; Fort Drum, New York; Fort Eustis, Virginia; Hunter Army Airfield, Georgia; and Fort Hood, Texas. We found that while the Army had valid requirements for using Recovery Act funding to build child development centers at Fort Carson and the six other installations, the apportionment of resources among the installations needed improvement.
