Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis discusses the Department of Defense's (DoD) obligation to reimburse defense contractors for environmental cleanup cost for 'releases' of hazardous substances occuring at contractor owned and operated (COCO) facilities or disposal sites for which the contractor is held responsible as a 'Potentially' Responsible Party'. Its primary focus is on recovery of cleanup cost under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) cost principle and on the 1980 Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) 107 (a) (3), which allows contract reimbursement when the government arranged for the treatment or disposal of hazardous substances used in performing the government contract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the Department of Defense's (DOD) reimbursement of defense contractors' environmental clean-up costs. GAO found that: (1) DOD reimbursed contractors through overhead amounts in prime contracts, subcontracts, and a negotiated settlement; (2) decisions on reimbursement varied from complete denial to reimbursement in proportion to the government's share of a company's business; (3) contracting officers varied widely in the extent of investigations into possible wrongdoing by contractors; (4) federal acquisition laws, regulations, and policies do not provide specific guidance to decisionmakers on how to treat environmental clean-up costs; and (5) the varied types of reimbursements made in the cases examined may not be enough to prevent continued inconsistent reimbursement decisions.

Download or read book The Allocation of Contractor Environmental Remediation Costs to Department of Defense Contracts written by Stephen R. Shapro and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the allocation of environmental remediation costs to Department of Defense (DOD) contracts. Environmental remediation costs are incurred in the current period to cleanup contamination resulting from the performance of work in the past. Consequently, there is little direct beneficial or causal relationship between DOD's current contracts and the costs incurred. Yet, the manner in which remediation costs are allocated will substantially determine who pays for the rising costs of yesterday's contamination. Background material is presented to illustrate Government cost accounting practices and DOD guidance on environmental costs. Research material was obtained from the Congress, the General Accounting Office, DOD, defense contractors and industry associations. The research concludes that none of the current allocation methods are consistently fair and equitable. Any reimbursement for DOD's share of cleanup costs should be made independently of the contract cost accounting system.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report responds to your subcommittee's request that we examine Department of Defense (DOD) policies and practices regarding cleanup of environmental contamination at government owned, contractor operated (GOCO) plants, as a follow up to our previous reports that showed inconsistent policies and practices on cost sharing. We reviewed nine higher-cost case studies at the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the military services (1) to assess the consistency of cost-sharing practices across DOD and (2) to compare the service cleanup estimates against DOD'S. Specifically, we identified the actions taken and the types of arrangements for sharing cleanup costs between the government and other responsible parties, and examined site-specific cleanup cost data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although DOD does not collect information on defense contractors' past and future cleanup costs or reimbursements, substantial amounts of data may be available to DOD. Our inquiries to DOD's Corporate Administrative Contracting Officers for the 15 largest defense contractors indicated most of them had at least partial information on past and future cleanup costs. DOD is testing a program that could help collect some of the data. The data we obtained indicate that 10 contractors have already incurred investigation and initial cleanup costs totalling nearly $300 million. As to future costs, we obtained at least partial projections of cleanup costs that, in total, range from $0.9 billion to $1.1 billion.

Download or read book Department of Defense Environmental Cleanup Cost Allowability Policy written by John M. Murdock and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the factors affecting the allowability determination of defense contractor environmental remediation costs. The primary objective of this thesis was to determine what policies and contracting cost principles the Department of Defense (DOD) should develop to address environmental costs in a consistent manner, providing a 'single face' to industry. A secondary objective was to develop an audit framework and questions to allow for consistent policy analysis and application to a contractor's proposed environmental remediation costs based upon the materiality of the situation. Background material was presented to show the amount and complexity of environmental regulations, the effects of current judicial decisions and DOD's efforts to develop a consistent policy. Research material was provided from Congress, the General Accounting Office, DOD, defense contractors, California, Washington, industry associations and environmental protection coalitions. The researcher's analysis of the material produced an environmental cost principle. This cost principle was applied to a current environmental claim, producing an audit framework and tailored list of cost and/or pricing data analysis, questions. Both the cost principle and audit framework are recommended for incorporation into DOD's final environmental cost allowability decision.
