As part of this discussion, we will address a number of key challenges and risks that continue to face the project, as well as actions AOC has taken or plans to take to address these risks. In addition, we will discuss the status of the project's costs and funding. Our remarks today are based on our review of schedules and financial reports for the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC) project and related records maintained by AOC and its construction management contractor, Gilbane Building Company; our observations on the progress of work at the CVC construction site; and our discussions with the CVC team (AOC and its major CVC contractors), AOC's Chief Fire Marshal, and representatives from the U.S. Capitol Police, the General Services Administration, and the Office of Compliance. We also reviewed AOC's construction management contractor's periodic schedule assessments and daily reports on the progress of interior wall and floor stonework. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-828T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-828T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-828T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-828T.pdf GAO-06-828T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-828T Testimony GAO-06-828T; Capitol Visitor Center: Update on Status of Project's Schedule and Cost As of August 2, 2006; Construction contracts Contract administration Contract oversight Contract performance Contractors Cost analysis Cost overruns Facility construction Federal facilities Federal funds Future budget projections Public visitor-centers Risk management Schedule slippages Cost estimates Capitol Visitor Center Project
