 Selected Aspects Of The Department Of

 Energy's Operating Contract For The

Solar Energy Research Institute


Since 1977 the Department of Energy has had a contract
with the Midwest Research Institute for operating and
managing the Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI) in
Golden, Colorado. The Department extended the contract
for 15 months to June 1983 and, after recompetition,
recently selected the Midwest Research Institute to again
operate and manage SERI for a 5-year period to begin in
July 1983.

GAO's review of selected aspects of the contract showed
that:

   --A prescribed process was generally followed for
   evaluating the Midwest Research Institute's perform-
   ance at SERI and the resulting evaluations should give
   a fair characterization of that performance.
   --The extension of the contract for 1 5 months appeared
   warranted considering the circumstances existing at
   the time of the extension.

   --The process for recompeting the contract was reason-
   able for selecting the best qualified contractor for
   operating and managing SERI.

GAO makes recommendations to the Secretary of Energy
to strengthen future contractor performance evaluations.
