At the request of the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) Supply Chain, we examined the cost proposal submitted by a company for coal combustion residual (CCR) program management services. Our examination objective was to determine if the company's cost proposal was fairly stated for a planned 20-year contract.In our opinion, the company's proposed markup rates for recovery of indirect costs were fairly stated. However, the company's proposed costs for a $248.2 million CCR project were overstated by a net $1.6 million due to inaccuracies in craft pay and benefits. Subsequently, the company submitted a revised estimate of $246.6 million to correct the inaccuracies.(Summary Only)
