BY THE US. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE




Report To The Secretary Of Energy






Further Improvements Needed In The

Department Of Energy For Estimating And

Reporting Project Costs



The Department of Energy relies on its
regional offices to prescribe guidelines to
contractors and its own organizational
elements for preparing and reviewing
project cost estimates. The Chicago re-
gional office has not issued guidelines and
has experienced cost estimating problems.
In addition, cost recategorizations and
project scope reductions have not been
fully reported to the Congress.

GAO recommends that the Secretary of
Energy ensure that all regional offices
develop and implement guidelines on the
preparation and review of cost estimates.
GAO also recommends that the Secretary
of Energy report to the Congress the
magnitude of major project cost recatego-
rizations and scope reductions.
