Engel Proposes Competitive Bids to Cut Barracks Costs
Rep. Engel of Michigan charges that 250 million dollars of the 800 million spent on new army barracks was wasted. He cites Camp Dix as the example where competitive bids saved money and sped construction, contrasting with other camps built under cost plus fixed fee. He urges abolition of the fixed fee and 11 percent overhead. He warns of 30 percent total waste under the present method.
