Crosscutting Efficiencies.. |

-16,811 |
These reductions consist of one-time needs for computers and furniture,
and anticipated savings that will result from efficiencies. Some of the
areas targeted for savings include: Facilities Management, JCN/WAN IT,
Human Resources, and Centralized Procurement. The Department continues
to evaluate its programs and operations with the goal of achieving across-the-board
economies of scale that result in increased efficiencies, reduced duplication
of efforts, and cost savings. The crosscutting savings identified impact
the majority of the components in the Department, and are the result of
improving business practices in the following way: consolidation of facility
management, including optimization of work space standards and the consolidation/collocation
of field space; improved deployment of human resources personnel across
Department components; the consolidation of duplicative IT support functions
and services performed by components using the JCN WAN; and centralized
procurement for relocation of services, including household storage/shipment
and residence contracts. |

Proposed Rescission |

Rescission of New Construction Funding |
... |
... |
[-$187,900] |
The Administration is proposing a rescission totaling $187.9 million,
to be derived from prior year unobligated balances
and some construction funds requested in FY 2003. The rescission recognizes
BOP's ongoing success in shortening
the construction period and reducing costs through implementation of its
design/build method.
This proposal rescinds small amounts of site and planning funds from several
new construction projects, including
female facilities in Northern Florida and North Carolina, and male facilities
at FCI Northeast, FCI Midwestern, FCI Mid-
Atlantic, FCI Western, FCI South Central, and USP Northeast. In addition,
the proposal rescinds construction funds for
a Mid-Atlantic medium security facility for male inmates and a female
unit in Hazelton, WV. The BOP will use
$12,900,000 of the rescinded funds for contract confinement beds to house
female inmates. |
