G.3 FEES

G.3.1: Technical Performance Incentive Fee:

Under the terms of this cost plus incentive fee contract, the contractor shall have the opportunity to earn a technical performance incentive fee and a technical performance excellence bonus for center operations, and for Outreach/Admissions (OA), and Career Transition Services (CTS), if applicable, based on achievement of goals. The technical performance incentive fee shall range from 0% to 2.4% of total direct and indirect costs, excluding fee, CRA, equipment, CTST, and demonstration projects.

Performance measures may fluctuate from year to year based on performance history for the preceding program year. The maximum available technical performance incentive fee will not exceed 2.4%.

The contractor’s performance and the amount of technical performance incentive fee earned shall be determined annually after the close of the contract year, based on achievement of Program Year goals within the Job Corps’ Outcome Measurement System (OMS). Each contractor’s performance will be evaluated based on the portion of the contract year that occurred during the Program Year for which the performance measure was in effect.

In order to motivate and reward excellence in performance, those contractors whose performance exceeds the top of the National Performance Range will be eligible to earn a technical performance excellence bonus. Under the resultant terms of this contract, the performance measure will identify incentive fee payment levels as follows for Center Operations:

Center Operations:

(0%)

Fee (2.0%) Maximum *Cost Incentive Fee (4.0%) Maximum Technical Performance Fee (2.4%)

If applicable under this RFP and the resultant contract, the technical performance incentive fees for OA and CTS shall be as follows. *Cost lines only in Section B.

Outreach and Admissions and Career Transition Services:

G.3.2: Cost Reimbursement Not-to-Exceed (NTE):

Upon completion of the contract year, the Contracting Officer will determine the amount of cost incentive fee earned by the contractor, using the cost incentive fee calculation identified in the table above. At the end of each performance period, the Contracting Officer will issue a contract modification to increase the estimated cost and funding on the contract’s cost incentive fee line. Upon receipt of the modification, the contractor would include the additional cost incentive fee earned on the next monthly invoice. If there is no additional fee earned, the Contracting Office will advise the contractor accordingly.

Technical Performance Incentive Fee/Performance Excellence Bonus:

Upon completion of the contract year, the Contracting Officer will utilize the Job Corps’ Outcome Measurement System (OMS) data to evaluate the contractor’s overall technical performance, based on achievement of Program Years’ goals, and will determine the level of technical performance incentive fee earned by the contractor. The Contracting Officer will then issue a contract modification to increase the estimated cost and funding on the contract’s technical performance incentive fee line if incentive fee is earned. Upon receipt of the modification, the contractor would include the technical performance incentive fee earned on the next monthly invoice. Performance Excellence Bonuses will be awarded at the end of the contract year as well. Please note that the contractor shall not invoice for any technical performance incentive fee until and/if any fee is earned, and a contract modification is issued. Offerors shall propose the average/target technical performance incentive fee of 1.2%.
