Fed IG Report: No administrative misconduct found in review of Fed building project in Washington, though management deficiencies were identified

Fed Inspector General Review of project says no reasonable ground to believe a violation of federal criminal law occurred that required a referral to the US attorney. Numerous factors, including inflation, limited subcontractor bidding, board design changes and site conditions contributed to cost overruns. Some cost overruns could have been mitigated by more effective management.
