The Honorable Charles F. Dougherty             OCTOBER24,1980

House of Representatives

Dear Mr. Dougherty:                                    III 1111111111111

     Subject: fjieview of the Costs Related to the
                Decontamination Contract for the          113651
                Frankford Arsenaj (LCD-81-11)

     In your July 10, 1980, letter, you asked us to review
certain aspects of the contract awarded by the Department
of the Army to Rockwell International Corporation for the
decontamination of the Frankford Arsenal in Philadelphia.

     On June 24, 1980, the Comptroller General issued a
decision in a bid protest that resulted from the award
of the decontamination contract. He recommended the remain-
ing contract work not be recompeted due to the progress
of work already performed, even though there had been some
shortcomings on the part of the Army during the contract's
award process.

     You questioned whether the work had actually progressed
beyond the point where the contract could not be recompeted,
and you asked us to verify data regarding the status of the
contract. Specifically, you asked the following questions:

     --What percentage of the work has actually been
       completed?

     --What subcontracts have been awarded, to whom, and on
       what date, and for work starting when and to be com-
       pleted on what date?

     --What percentage of funds have been expended (item-
        ized by specific item)?

      --Whether or not buildings in the arsenal's 400 area
        are being scraped and painted, as part of decon-
        tamination, when in fact they are scheduled to be
        demolished? Why?

      --What would be the actual costs to renegotiate a new
        contract?

                                                   (945453)
