Environmental Protection Agency Disallows $663,321 in Costs

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is questioning $663,321 in costs due to a grantee not following required procedures when purchasing A/E services.

The West Rankin Utility Authority allegedly didn't conduct a detailed cost analysis when reviewing proposals for a construction project under an EPA award. The audit also claimed the grantee didn't have an adequate procurement system in place and lacked proper policies and procedures.

The audit finding once again demonstrates how critical it is that grantees comply with all requirements published in OMB A-102.
