Transportation Network Optimization and Service Performance
Transportation is a core part of Postal Service operations, combining Postal Service-owned and operated assets with contractor operations. Every day a team of transportation and logistics professionals manage an average flow of over 390 million mailpieces throughout the Postal Service network, which includes 285 processing facilities and about 35,000 retail locations. Postal Service facilities are linked by a complex transportation system that depends on the nation’s highway, air, rail, and maritime infrastructures. The success of each system affects the success of the others. This audit focuses on the surface and air networks, as they transport most of the mail. Our objective was to assess opportunities to optimize the Postal Service’s transportation network and meet service performance goals.

As part of our annual audit plan, we audited costs billed to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) by Morsey Constructors, LLC (Morsey) for general construction and modification services performed under Contract No. 9275. Our audit included approximately $8.3 million in costs billed to TVA during calendar years 2014 through 2018. Our objective was to determine if Morsey billed TVA in accordance with the contract's terms.In summary, we determined Morsey overbilled TVA up to $3,819,541, including (1) from $1,543,520 to $3,698,483 in subcontractor costs that had not been preapproved by TVA, <br> (2) $100,354 in overbilled equipment costs, (3) $36,945 in unsupported and ineligible travel costs, and (4) a net underbilling of $16,241 because Morsey billed incorrect craft and noncraft time and materials billing rates. In addition, we determined TVA paid an additional $134,810 in labor costs because Morsey used statutory payroll tax rates instead of effective payroll tax rates in the build up of its craft and noncraft labor billing rates.
