Boiler Pressure Parts and Burner Parts

We reviewed TVA's contracts with a contractor that provided boiler pressure parts and burner parts and determined the contracts' compensation clauses were not adequate for determining and evaluating prices to be billed for the parts. We recommended TVA management (1) incorporate specific pricing criteria in the contracts for use in determining and evaluating prices and (2) revise/supplement the cost reimbursable payment terms under one of the contracts to specifically address costs/rates to be paid by TVA. TVA management agreed the contracts' pricing criteria should be revised and took appropriate action. Summary Only
