Administration of selected support-service contracts
This report concerns weakness in how the Department of Energy (DOE) administered certain contracts with a consulting firm that provided support services to various offices of DOE. Based on the review of six contracts awarded by DOE Headquarters to two consulting firms, IG previously reported on the payment of high levels of compensation paid to management officials, other employees, and consultants. This report focuses on three contracts held by one of the two consulting firms discussed in the earlier report. All three contracts are of the cost-reimbursable type, and they were awarded without competition. The total value of the three contracts is about $1 million; and as of October 1979, about $720,000 had been paid out for these contracts. Excess profits; delayed completion date; inadequate procedures for contractors performance monitoring; and unauthorized work projects and personnel are discussed. (PSB)
