Federal Reports

This interim report presents the results of our self-initiated audit of mail delivery, customer service, and property conditions at the Beaverton Main Post Office in Beaverton, OR (Project Number 22-031). The Beaverton Main Post Office is in the Idaho-Montana-Oregon District of the WestPac Area. The post office services ZIP Codes 97005 and 97008. There are about 54,806 people living in these ZIP Codes, which are considered urban communities. We chose the Beaverton Main Post Office based on the number of stop-the-clock3 (STC) scans occurring at the delivery unit, rather than at the customer’s delivery address.

At the request of the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) Supply Chain, we examined the cost proposal submitted by a company for transmission construction services. Our examination objective was to determine if the cost proposal was fairly stated for a planned 5-year, $25 million contract.In our opinion, the company's cost proposal was overstated. We found the proposed labor markup rates, for recovery of indirect costs, were overstated compared to recent actual costs. We estimated TVA could avoid about $783,000 over the planned $25 million contract by negotiating revised labor markup rates to more accurately reflect the company's recent actual costs.
