Inspection of administrative management procedures for legal services acquired by selected management and operating contractors
The initial purpose of this inspection was to evaluate the administrative management of legal services relating to civil litigation acquired by Rockwell International Corporation (Rockwell) under the Management and Operating (M and O) Contract No. DE-AC04-76DP03533. This contract was for the operation of the Rocky Flats Plant, and Rockwell's continuing obligations under this contract are being administered by the Albuquerque Operations Office for the purpose of closing out Rockwell's activities at Rocky Flats. In order to determine whether the findings generally applied to other DOE sites, the auditors also conducted a limited evaluation of the management procedures relating to legal services for three other selected M and O contractors. The purpose of this inspection was to evaluate: (1) Rockwell's acquisition and administration of legal services associated with civil litigation of Rocky Flats under Contract No. DE-AC04-76DP03533, and the processes used by Rockwell and the Albuquerque Operations Office (Albuquerque) for reviewing the cost of these services under DOE's voucher system prior to payment. (2) The acquisition and administration of outside legal services at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), Albuquerque. (3) The March 23, 1994, DOE Litigation Management Procedures as they relate to the management to litigation involving Management and Operating contractors.
