Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority's (MWAA) contracting practices. GAO found that: (1) the MWAA process for awarding contracts for goods, services, and construction projects is competitive but highly focused on soliciting vendors in the Washington, D.C. area; (2) MWAA awarded firm, fixed-price contracts for goods, services, and construction to the lowest bidder that met the required technical specifications and standards described in the solicitation; (3) in some instances, MWAA used a two-step solicitation method for design and construction contracts by requesting and evaluating the qualifications of prospective contractors before issuing the solicitation; (4) MWAA awarded architectural/engineering service contracts after evaluating each bidder's capability and qualifications to perform the services; (5) some of the criteria used to evaluate proposals could be interpreted as unnecessarily restrictive by potential bidders; (6) existing MWAA contracting policies do not establish who is responsible for deciding whether solicitation evaluation criteria are appropriate; (7) 23 percent of the contracts reviewed were appropriately awarded as sole-source contracts; (8) announcements for contracts were routinely published in a newspaper, but only two were published outside the Washington, D.C., area; (9) solicitations for concession services contracts are advertised both nationally and locally because of the need to attract national businesses; and (10) MWAA has not published its procedures for awarding contracts.

Download or read book Government Contracting written by William Sims Curry and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2010-04-27 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guidebook through the minefield of government contracting and procurement, Government Contracting: Promises and Perils describes the dangerous practices commonly applied in the development and management of government contracts and provides advice for avoiding the sort of errors that might compromise their ability to protect the public interest. It includes strategies for increasing profits for government contractors, rather than incurring burdensome costs, through compliance with government mandated subcontracting and financial management systems. Drawing from his indepth investigation of government agencies across the country, the author examines present-day scenarios that regularly lead public servants and government committees to manage contracts with tools that are less than optimal and to select contractors that may not be the best qualified. He then delineates practical processes, contracting documents, and contract management tools to mitigate detrimental outcomes and alternative approaches to supplant the imperfect methodologies. The author includes a CD-ROM with the book that provides a number of practical tools that you can apply as well as examples of contracts and templates that are the best he discovered during his research. The book also outlines an approach for performing advance contract planning, conducting contract negotiations, and administering contracts useful when planning for the management of the contracting process throughout the contracting cycle, negotiating a contract that protects the interest of all contracting parties, and ensuring successful contractor performance. The book includes a "Government Procurement Corruption Wall of Shame" that illustrates the myriad perils and stumbling blocks such as conflicts of interest, duplicity, favoritism, incompetence, kickbacks, and protests that government workers fall prey to.. Filled with best practices that protect you from nefarious, amateurish, and criminal mistakes that frequently lead to difficulties with harsh consequences, the book does not end its coverage with discussions of corruption, mismanagement, and ineptitude, but provides practical processes and strategies to diminish the negative impacts from these government contracting perils.

Download or read book Government Abuse written by William Sims Curry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Government contracting is plagued by nefarious, amateurish, and criminal behavior. By awarding government contracts to corporations as compensation for lavish gifts and personal favors, the United States government fails to serve the public interest effectively and honestly. William Sims Curry identifies and categorizes multiple deficiencies in how government contractors are selected, and proposes how reforms can be instituted.This book is based on extensive research. Curry sifted through two years worth of contractor claims maintained by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) regarding improper behavior of federal government agencies during the contract award process. He identified additional government contracting failures through review of media stories, inspector general reports, court cases, and press releases by government investigatory agencies.Much of this abuse originates from the mandated but ineffective practice of color coding rating proposals and a subjective ratings system. Curry proposes replacing the current practice with a scoring system that weighs contractor selection criteria according to the government's needs. This, along with the other procurement reforms Curry recommends, offers promise for an alternative to the fraud, waste, and incompetence currently rampant in government contracting.

Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the National Institute of Education's (NIE) contract award process, focusing on its activities for fiscal year (FY) 1983. GAO reviewed a sample of 21 of the 33 negotiated contracts that NIE awarded through competitive requests for proposals and found: (1) no evidence that the number of proposals received, prices, cost ranges, or government cost estimates were disclosed during the evaluation process to any offerer that responded to the requests for proposals; and (2) that NIE awarded 5 negotiated cost-reimbursement contracts to other than the lowest offerers. However, the awards of these contracts were not inconsistent since federal procurement regulations do not require negotiated contracts to be awarded to the lowest-cost offerer. GAO also found that, in FY 1983: (1) the NIE Director, who has legal authority to enter into contracts and discretion to exercise that authority, made a decision to award nine contracts to plan a new educational laboratory; (2) NIE awarded 52 new contracts, of which it awarded 14 noncompetitively; and (3) NIE failed to properly justify 4 of the noncompetitive awards. Of the 175 Department of Education employees involved in the procurements that GAO examined, only 1 employee subsequently worked for the specific contractor he was involved with. NIE has drafted an acquisition policies and procedures handbook which establishes uniform policies and procedures for its procurements.
