Government Operations: The General Services Administration Should Improve the Management of Its Alterations and Major Repairs Program: LCD-79

The General Services Administration (GSA) manages an alterations and major repairs program for 3,300 federal buildings. As of May 1979, estimated costs of all work requirements in the program were about $1.4 billion. In fiscal year (FY) 1978, GSA obligated about $212 million for alterations and repairs, and it plans to obligate about $203 million in FY 1979. GSA also performs alterations work on a reimbursable basis over and above what it provides through direct appropriations, for which $46 million was obligated in FY 1978.
