At the request of Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) Supply Chain and TVA's Senior Vice President, Generation Construction, we audited $66.4 million in costs billed to TVA by Phillips and Jordan, Inc. (P&J), under an Advance Authorization (AA) agreement and Contract No. 78268. The AA agreement and contract provided for P&J to unload and dispose of at least four million tons of coal combustion by-products from the coal combustion by-products spill at TVA's Kingston Fossil Plant in December 2008. Our objective was to determine if the costs billed from June 2, 2009, through September 4, 2011, were in compliance with the terms of the AA agreement and the contract.In summary, we determined P&J overbilled TVA $366,401 which included (1) $225,832 in overbilled tonnage costs, (2) $122,921 in overbilled leachate costs, (3) an estimated $11,206 in overbilled standby costs, and (4) $6,442 in overbilled structural adequacy costs.
