Report Description:
We investigated the amount of coal being left in barges after they were unloaded at the Cumberland Fossil Plant. Information provided by the barge company showed that from August 1, 2006 through July 31, 2007, TVA abandoned roughly 14,000 tons of coal per month. Based on the average cost per ton, including transportation costs, we estimated TVA lost over $6 million annually. Management advised they would review the cost effectiveness of using a contractor to clean out barges and they would issue an early Request for Proposals to attempt to negotiate language to provide for dedicated barges or clean out services.
