Information Relative to the Design and Construction of the New Federal Building in Williamsport, Pennsylvania

Although the total cost of the new building is within the amount approved by the Congress, GSA could have avoided some costs. Costs were increased by at least $114,000 because GSA contracting officials did not inform the designer of the required courtroom ceiling height, causing the ceiling to be redesigned after construction was underway. Structural steel beams deflected during construction and GSA has not determined whether professional negligence is involved on the part of the architect-engineer designer.
