Download or read book Achieving Better Acquisition Through ADR and Other Best Practices for Resolving Bid Protests written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project examines bid protest prevention and resolution strategies to shed light on ways to save the government money and time. Successful resolutions of protests depends on a number of factors, including government and private sector protest management and litigation strategies; Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) policies of federal agencies; legal and regulatory requirements; and remedies available to contractors. Our research identifies and analyzes best ADR practices and other remedies and preventions for resolving bid protests. Areas examined include processes and remedies utilized by selected federal agencies and obstacles to fomenting improved cooperation between industry and government, which may preclude win-win resolutions to bid protests. Insights regarding the validity of our entering hypotheses about ADR are obtained from a survey of acquisition and legal professionals regarding their perceptions, opinions, and recommendations on bid protest practices and the use of ADR procedures. Our objectives are to identify ADR and other process improvement recommendations that are crucial to effective contracting and support the government's efforts to improve adjudicative forums for resolution of contract disputes and bid protests. Our research suggests that agencies can mitigate protest expenses and interruptions by managing the protest process in a systematic, business-like way. At the present time, agencies rarely use most procedural tools that are required or authorized under Federal laws and regulations to reduce time delays and costs from bid protests. Among other things, we recommend energetic agency approaches to preventing disputes (e.g., quality debriefings), and dealing with disputes (e.g., formal cost-benefit analysis of agency defense strategies, strong defense of agency actions, and full use of ADR methods). We also recommend ADR as the default method for settling bid protests.

This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten Commandments of Better Contracting provides a fresh look at management of supply chains with a particular focus on contracting for construction and related goods and services. With the objective of getting more out of contracts, this book draws on recent research, extensive professional and practical experience, and even trial and error in testing contracting innovations. The book explores issues such as games played, proven solutions to common problems, the importance of business relationships, trust, and other issues not typically addressed in books on this topic. In readable style, every chapter focuses on real-world problems and offers suggestions that help improve the performance of next and future contracts. The book outlines ten basic rules ("commandments") for improving contract performance. The author illustrates these different techniques with cartoons, icons, and case studies. Each of the first 10 chapters addresses one of these commandments. The closing chapter presents a successful contracting strategy that applies these commandments in a cohesive approach. This proven strategy has yielded better results than industry norms when intelligently applied. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the contracting environment including basic legal principles; Chapters 2 and 3 address contract strategies; Chapters 4 through 7 focus on contract award; Chapters 8 and 9 address contract administration issues; and Chapter 10 focuses on dispute resolution.

Download or read book Alternative Dispute Resolution written by David S. Eaton and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While arbitration and mediation have gained almost universal acceptance for settling commercial contract disputes, resolution of contract disputes in the Federal Government has continued to be slow, time consuming, and expensive. The participants in these processes have turned toward a new approach that offers an expedient, inexpensive, and less adversarial method for settling these disputes known as Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). This thesis provides information on various methods of ADR, detailing advantages, disadvantages, and characteristics for case suitability. The research found, through the interviews conducted and the literature reviewed, that there are general misconceptions and impediments to the implementation of ADR. There was a general lack of knowledge of the different methods of ADR available. Many of the personnel interviewed did not know of their full authority to use ADR as provided by the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act. One major obstacle that was found in evaluating ADR is that there is an absence of reliable data to support the claims of ADR. Personnel interviewed in the Federal Government indicated that there is a lack of incentives for the Government to use ADR. One reason for this was due to the use of the 'continued performance clause.

Download or read book An Analysis of Alternative Dispute Resolution ADR As It Applies to Contract Dispute Settlement and Its Use by the Defense Industry written by Marc A. Begin and published by . This book was released on 1999-06-01 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this research is to assess the extent to which defense contractors employ the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in their contract dispute settlement processes. A questionnaire was utilized to gather information from thirty defense contractors. The thesis provides a legislative background for ADR, and briefly discusses various techniques of the ADR process. Additionally, data collected from industry are presented and discussed. The study identified mediation and negotiation as the technique favored by commercial companies. Furthermore, this study concludes that Government agencies do not reap the benefits of ADR to the extent that commercial companies do. The use of ADR has taken hold, and its use is likely to increase. However, barriers exist that serve to limit its use by Government agencies. These barriers include education about various ADR techniques and the perception by the defense industry that Government a agencies are unwilling to enter into ADR.
