The Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board awarded Smartronix a $9.5 million contract to redesign recovery.gov.

But the cost of the contract and the way it was run raised concerns about a lack of transparency.

Earl Devaney is the chairman of the Recovery and Transparency board.

He says that GSA's top procurement officer ran the contract, and Recovery Board members didn't know who the players were, nor how much the bids were for.

He tells Federal News Radio just what they're getting for their money.
