Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Virginia) has asked the office of the General Services Administration’s inspector general to conduct an inquiry into GSA’s decision to call off its plans for a new consolidated FBI headquarters.
He wrote a letter Wednesday to GSA IG Carol Ochoa to investigate the factors agency officials used to arrive at a decision to cancel the FBI HQ project, the congressman’s office said Wednesday.
Connolly, a ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Government Operations subpanel, said he wants to know whether GSA considered costs, timeliness, security and benefits of staff co-location in its decision-making process and compared such information with other factors.
The lawmaker also asked Ochoa’s office to determine whether the agency’s current proposal accounts for the project’s full costs and look into GSA’s communication efforts with external sources with regard to the consolidation project.
