This testimony will focus on (1) the Architect of the Capitol's (AOC) construction progress since the last CVC hearing on April 24, 2007; and (2) the project's expected cost at completion and funding status. GAO's remarks are based on our review of schedules and financial reports for the 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. We also reviewed AOC's construction management contractor's periodic schedule assessments, potential change order log, and weekly reports on the progress of interior wall and floor stonework. In addition, we reviewed the contract modifications made to date. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-897T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-897T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-897T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-897T.pdf GAO-07-897T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-897T Testimony GAO-07-897T; Capitol Visitor Center: Update on Status of Project's Schedule and Cost as of June 27, 2007; Construction contracts Contract administration Cost analysis Cost overruns Facility construction Federal facilities Federal funds Future budget projections Public visitor-centers Risk assessment Schedule slippages Strategic planning Cost estimates Capitol Visitor Center Project
