At the request of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Supply Chain, the OIG examined the cost proposal submitted by a company for engineering and management services for hydroelectric power train and associated systems. Our objective was to determine if the company's cost proposal was fairly stated for a planned $90 million contract. In our opinion, the markup rates included in the company's proposal were fairly stated. However, we estimated that TVA could avoid about $2.88 million on the $90 million contract by (1) utilizing TVA personnel to purchase materials needed for the scope of work rather than having this company procure necessary materials, and (2) ensuring the markup rates applied to affiliate company subcontract labor costs are limited to rates applied to this company's labor costs. In addition, we found the contract's compensation terms and related attachments were inconsistent with the methodology TVA intends to use to compensate the company.(Summary Only)
