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, $50 million contract.In our opinion, the company's cost proposal was overstated. Specifically, we found the proposed general liability insurance markup rate was overstated compared to recent actual costs. We estimated TVA could avoid about $118,000 over the planned $50 million contract by negotiating a reduction to the general liability insurance markup rates to more accurately reflect the company's recent actual costs.
