OIG recommends that the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations, in coordination with the Bureau of Administration and the Office of the Legal Advisor, a) determine whether and, if so, to what extent the architecture-engineering firm Kieran-Timberlake PLC (under contract # SAQMMA-10-C-0060)—for design deficiencies—and the construction contractor B.L. Harbert International, LLC (under contract # SAQMMA-12-C-0111)—for construction deficiencies—are responsible for the $34 million in identified questioned additional costs expended for the otherwise unnecessary lease-back extension of the former U.S. Embassy London and b) recover from each firm those costs for which they are determined to be responsible.
