Review of the U.S. Department of Energy's Information Management Systems

The 1993 National Performance Review Report recommended performance measurement and benchmarking against industry standards as tools to help improve Government operations. This recommendation was one of the bases for the Department's development of its Improvement Plan for Reducing Architect-Engineering Costs. This plan directed operations offices to manage to a standard architect and engineering (A-E) cost as a percentage of construction. Based on this initiative, the objective of our audit was to determine whether A-E costs at Los Alamos National Laboratory (Los Alamos) and Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia) were reasonable in comparison with industry standards.actors.

The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Final Waste Management Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (WM PEIS) (May 1997) analyzed alternatives for the annual treatment of approximately 3,440 metric tons of non-wastewater hazardous waste that is currently being transported to commercial facilities for treatment. DOE has decided to continue to use off-site facilities for the treatment of major portions of the non-wastewater hazardous waste generated at DOE sites, based in part on analyses in the WM PEIS.
