Report Description:
At the request of the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) Supply Chain, we examined the cost proposal submitted by a company for performance of nonnuclear modification and supplemental maintenance services. Our examination objective was to determine if the company's cost proposal was fairly stated for a planned 5-year, $579 million contract.
In our opinion, the company's cost proposal was overstated. Specifically, we found the proposed markup rate for recovery of the company's workers' compensation and general liability costs exceeded the markup rate and application base provided for in TVA's request for proposal (RFP). We estimated TVA could avoid about $4.39 million over the planned $579 million contract by negotiating revised workers' compensation and general liability insurance markup rates and application base to comply with the RFP requirements.
