Greater use of value engineering has the potential to save millions on wastewater treatment projects
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6473009
GAO found that value engineering techniques were seldom used on treatment projects when there was no federal or state requirement to do so. EPA regional and state program officials have not extended value engineering requirements primarily because federal and state goverments do not require them to do so. GAO estimates that extending the use of value engineering during design to projects costing from $1 million to $10 million and to all projects during construction has the potential to save from $25 million to $57 million in federal funds annually. GAO makes recommendations to the Congress and EPA to extend value engineering.
