An Audit Report on Construction Management at the Texas State University System, Sam Houston State University, and Texas State University-San Marcos

July 2005

Report Number 05-042

Overall Conclusion

Sam Houston State University (Sam Houston), Texas State University-San Marcos (Texas State), and Texas State University System (System) Administration have policies and procedures that reasonably ensure that the universities (1) follow appropriate processes to identify and select construction activities, (2) comply with statutes and rules when selecting contractors, and (3) complete projects on time and within budget. However, we found opportunities for all three to strengthen their controls.

In addition, we found that one of five projects tested at Sam Houston and one of four tested at Texas State did not fully comply with Texas Education Code and System requirements regarding the competitive selection of contracts.
