Ineffective Oversight of a Contract for Basic Repairs and Alterations to the William Augustus Bootle Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse Increased the Risk of 8(a) Program Small Business Fraud and Abuse

The purpose of this memorandum is to notify the Regional Commissioner of deficiencies in GSA's Public Buildings Service Southeast Sunbelt Region’s (PBS Region 4’s) oversight of an 8(a) small business contractor for a basic repairs and alterations project at the William Augustus Bootle Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in Macon, Georgia (Bootle Building).
