Report Number 97-065

June 1997

Overall Conclusion

An audit by The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (Department) indicates that the Department circumvented the already weak controls related to construction manager selection and reimbursement during fiscal years 1993 through 1996. This contributed to questions of favoritism in the selection of construction management firms and to payments for unallowable and inappropriate reimbursements to these firms. Other weaknesses were noted in contract consistency, project budget controls, and dispute resolution during this period.
