Report No. GGD-93-46
Subject
Summary:

This report discusses a $27.4 million appropriation for repairs and alterations at the Kennedy Center--mechanical, structural, and handicapped-access projects, as well as garage repairs--included in the fiscal years 1991 and 1992 appropriation acts. During the next few years, the Center--despite limited staff--plans to undertake several large capital projects. It lacks an in-house federal contracting officer, architects, engineers, or other professionals to handle capital projects. As a result, the Kennedy Center has contracted for these services when necessary. During fiscal year 1992, Congress considered, but did not pass, legislation providing the Center with permanent authority for managing these projects. GAO doubts whether the Center, at present, has enough capability to effectively manage a capital improvement effort of the scope now being considered. Given enough time and funding, however, the Center should be able to acquire that capability.
