Recommendation Contents
OIG recommends that the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations move responsibility for oversight and management of commissioning agents from the Office of Construction Management to the Office of Facility Management. Specifically, the Office of Facility Management should oversee all aspects of the commissioning process, including (a) ensuring that commissioning agents have fulfilled the terms outlined in the statement of work; (b) verifying that all building systems are designed, installed, and tested to meet the Department’s contract requirements; and (c) ensuring that commissioning of all major systems is done before the project is declared substantially complete.
