OIG recommends that the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations update its Policy and Procedures Directive for the Commissioning and Transition to Occupancy of Overseas Facilities (P&PD CM 01) to require its project directors and facility managers to hold a pre-turnover meeting approximately 60 days prior to substantial completion. The entire project team should be included in this meeting with participants discussing the status of construction, commissioning, required turnover documentation, and the planned schedule and outstanding actions required to ensure a smooth and successful turnover of facilities.
