27 Case study #1: Change orders Facts > University housing project > GMP contract totaling $100 million > Contractor self-performing carpentry work > SPW was agreed to using lump sum pricing > Contingency fund usage requires owner authorization 31
28 Case study #1: Change orders (cont.) Key tests > Analyze payment applications to identify line item overages > Compare general conditions percentage complete to overall project completion > Review project change order approvals and test for contract compliance > Examine RFI and change order control schedules to capture and highlight duplicate submissions > Assess contingency logs and descriptions of usage 32
29 Case study #1: Change orders (cont.) Red flags > Contractor billing schedule of values reflects line item overruns (negative balance to finish amounts) > Change request using contingency to add funds to general conditions > Duplicate scope of work in change order 33
30 Case study #1: Change orders (cont.) Findings > Contractor overran the SPW budget > Change order increased general conditions for duplicate trade/craft scope of work to recover SPW overages > Owner s senior project manager approved this change order Program controls in place were not functioning as intended. 34
31 Case study #1: Change orders (cont.) Control recommendations > Contract change order controls > Multiple review and approval requirements for change orders prior to execution (VP, project executive, project manager, finance) > Discussion of pending changes (scope/amount) in weekly project meetings > Required communications informing program managers of line item overruns (PM and accounting) > Change order increased general conditions for duplicate trade/craft scope of work 35
32 Case study #2: Billing Facts > Hospital expansion project > GMP contract totaling $60 million > Contractor owned equipment is utilized on the project > Contract terms Include stipulated labor and equipment rates Allow for annual labor escalation of 3 percent 37
33 Case study #2: Billing (cont.) Key tests > Review payment application supporting documents for adequacy Contractor owned equipment daily project work logs or equipment usage tickets Labor timesheets > Trace cost support to payment application > Analyze support provided to owner showing annual rate increase calculations > Determine existence of rental rate comparisons > Assess contractor owned equipment rates in comparison to average of local rates 38
34 Case study #2: Billing (cont.) Red flags > Contract cost terms do not provide cost limitations or ceilings for contractor owned equipment Monthly rental rate restrictions Charge limits for total rental charges > Annual rate increase were not provided to the owner for review prior to billing with updated rates > Incomplete or insufficient cost support provided with monthly billings > Lack of rental rate comparisons 39
35 Case study #2: Billing (cont.) Findings > Owner was billed for contractor owned equipment at 115 percent of the equipment fair market value exceeding actual on-site usage > Labor billings were based on rates exceeding the stipulated escalation percentage > Project accounting controls did not include reconciliation of select cost support to amounts billed > Owner personnel did not validate the increased labor rates for contract compliance Contract controls were not favorable for the owner. Project controls were not adequate to help owner control costs. 40
36 Case study #2: Billing (cont.) Control recommendations > Contract terms should include restrictions on contractor equipment charges Require rate comparison to local rates Stipulate contractor rate does not exceed average rate Cumulative charges are not to exceed a stipulated FMV percentage > Contract terms should stipulate billing cost support requirements > Contract controls should require documented owner approval of increased rates prior to inclusion in billings > Program controls should mandate rate review/verification process 41
37 Case study #2: Billing (cont.) Control recommendations (cont.) > Project accounting controls should include reconciliation processes Accuracy of calculations Adequacy of attached support to validate all charges Contractual compliance of billing rates > Documented processes for the handling of unsupported or questioned costs billed to the owner 42

Key tests > Review RFPs to ensure standardized conditions are included, such as disclosure of related parties > Examine project bid documents to verify: Pre-qualification was performed Bid files including bids, bid tabs, scoring and award documents Review exception detail assessing reason for deviation and approvals > Compare bid practices to documented controls > Additional work to confirm observations could include interviews and researching licenses and relationships 45
40 Case study #3: Collusion (cont.) Red flags > Winning bid was the last bid received and time stamped at midnight > Request for Proposal (RFP) did not require disclosure of related parties > Prequalification processes were not followed > Subjective scoring was used instead of award to lowest qualified bidder 46
41 Case study #3: Collusion (cont.) Findings > RFP did not include related party disclosure > Work was not awarded to the lowest qualified bidder in accordance with policies and procedures > Award exception was not documented in the bid files > Prequalification policies were not adhered to Implemented program controls were effective. 47
42 Case study #3: Collusion (cont.) Control recommendations > RFPs should include standardized conditions such as disclosure of related parties Providing incorrect data disqualifies company from bid > Policies and procedures should include additional controls such as Disqualification of all parties not prequalified Documentation requirements for all exceptions Requirement of C-suite approval on all exceptions prior to award Involvement of procurement or outside department in review prior to award > Regular reviews to assess compliance with controls 48
43 Case study #4: Shared savings Facts > Office tower project > GMP contract totaling $85 million > Contract savings split: 80 percent to owner, 20 percent to contractor > Savings included any unspent allowance or contingency funds > Contract contingency was 8 percent of the cost of work (high) 49
44 Case study #4: Shared savings (cont.) Key tests > Analyze cost support provided to validate the original GMP amount > Review contract contingency percentage to assess reasonableness Typically averages 5 percent > Examine cost support provided with change orders > Review contract allowance and contingency logs 50
45 Case study #4: Shared savings (cont.) Red flags > Lack of cost support for: GMP contract values Change orders > Excessive unused allowance and/or contingency funds 51
46 Case study #4: Shared savings (cont.) Findings > Original GMP costs were not supported with bids or estimates to validate pricing was not inflated > Change orders were not supported with cost estimates, bids or actual cost support > No independent cost estimates were performed > Contract work was completed for 90 percent of the GMP value > High contractor contingency percentage inflated contract value Contract controls were not favorable for the owner. Project controls were not adequate to help owner control costs. 52
47 Case study #4: Shared savings (cont.) Control recommendations > Contracts with split savings should require one of the following: Cost support (bids, estimates, historical support, etc.) Performance of an independent cost estimate > Contract terms should exclude unspent allowance and contingency funds from the savings calculation > Program controls include: Establishing contingency percentage guidelines (NTE %) Cost support reconciliations or third party estimates prior to contract approvals Verification of savings calculations 53
48 Case study #5: Change orders Facts > Hotel renovation project > Cost plus fee final contract totaled $44 million > Change orders were issued as lump sum changes 54

52 Case study #5: Change orders (cont.) Control recommendations > Contract change order controls Support requirements Stipulated change order markup percentages > Program definition of excessive change order amounts > Guidelines for addressing excessive changes > Program controls requiring Validation of compliance with contract terms (rates, fee calculations, markups, etc.) Lump sum change order qualifications (allowable circumstances for use) Change order contract controls and program controls were not adequate help owner control costs. 58
