1.
While we generally agree with the Inspector General's findings in this audit, we believe that the savings are less than reported.-
2.
$289.402 of this figure represents questioned costs under two proposed contract which, for various reasons, were never awarded.
l-The remaining amount ($75,336) represents questioned costs from a contractor's proposal which was substantially revised and ultimately L
superseded as a result of technical discussions. The auditor's
. conclusions relative to the earlier proposal were, therefore, not l-directly related to the actual contract awarded, o
In neither of these instances were there substantive disagreements between the NRC management and the OIG regarding the appropriate disposition of audit results.
