A.7 MCC 52.232-73 TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT (MAY 2017)

Policy. When authorized as part of the Scope of Work on this contract/order and within the contract/order ceiling and as approved by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and/or other MCC officials as described below, travel expenses incurred in performance of technical directives issued under this contractor/order may be reimbursed as allowed by the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) in effect at the time of travel. MCC’s supplemental policy interpretations are derived from the FTR and cannot grant

95332420Q0061 / Attachment 1 Page 11 of 14 additional benefits or adjust processes defined in the FTR. Supplemental policies of MCC set forth below:

a) Traveler Responsibilities. All contractor travelers must:

1) Exercise the same care in incurring expenses that a prudent person would exercise if traveling on personal business;

2) Travel in accordance with the FTR and the MCC policies included in this document; and

3) Pay any charges or fees associated with non-compliance of FTR or any MCC policies included in this document, and any expenses incurred for personal convenience. For example, the traveler may become personally responsible for travel costs associated with unauthorized use of other than coach class accommodations, failing to follow the Fly American Act requirements, exceeding per diem rates, changing departure or return flights, purchasing unapproved items, etc. regardless of the fact that travel arrangements may have been booked by others (e.g., Travel Agency).

b) Cabin Class Standards

1) The standard cabin class for contractor air-travel is coach class, regardless of destination or travel time.

2) Coach “premium” class may be authorized for destinations which have a travel time of more than 14 hours, consistent with the Federal Travel Regulations and the approval standards outlined in paragraph (f) of this document.

3) Business class travel accommodations will NOT be authorized except as determined through the approval process outlined in paragraph (f) of this document. This approval process is considered to be exceptional, to be part of a trip by trip analysis, and at the discretion of the government regardless of the destination or travel time.

c) Airlines and Flights. In accordance with the Fly America Act, contractors must use a U.S.

flag air carrier service for all travel funded by the government beginning or ending in the U.S. unless a specific exemption to the “Fly America” rule applies. Flights on U.S. air carrier pairings with foreign carriers (i.e., code share flights) are regarded as meeting Fly America requirements if the ticket is issued on the American carrier and there is an American carrier flight number.

d) Limitations. Travel reimbursement, which is part of ODC, shall not exceed the authorized ODC amount on the contract. To be reimbursable, the travel expenses must be:

1) Allowable under the FTR and the provisions of this contract/order and associated technical directives;

2) Approved prior to travel expenditure by the COR; and

3) Allocable and necessary for performance of this contract/order and associated technical directives.

e) Reimbursement Requests. Travel reimbursement requests must be submitted in sufficient time for the COR to give prior approval, and must identify:

1) The name of the traveler.

2) Destination (s) including itinerary.

3) Purpose of the travel; and

4) Cost breakdown.

95332420Q0061 / Attachment 1 Page 12 of 14

5) To be reimbursed, invoices including travel expenses must provide a detailed breakdown of the actual expenditures invoiced. Contractor shall maintain the original or legible copy of receipts for all travel expenses invoiced when the expenditure is $75.00 or more. MCC reserves the right to request evidence of any travel expense paid.

f) Approvals. All travel expenses, including rental cars, must be approved by the MCC COR in writing in advance of booking any travel and incurring travel expenses. The following expense types require additional MCC pre-approvals beyond that of the COR. These additional approvals and associated justifications will be documented in writing:

1) Business class - Business class travel is considered to be exceptional, to be determined as part of a trip by trip analysis, and at the discretion of the government regardless of the destination or travel time. To reflect the exceptional nature of this approval, the justification for use of business class must be prepared by the COR and approved in writing by the relevant Managing Director or Deputy Vice President of the organization requesting the contractor to travel. The single exception to requiring this justification and approval for every trip in question is when a State Department approved medical accommodation has been granted. In this case, the approval of the COR and the Contracting Officer only is required after verifying that the medical accommodation is effective for the trip in question and that sufficient funds are available. All justifications must verify that the contractor is required to report for duty the following day or sooner, that the travel time for the trip is at least 14 hours, and that a rest stop will not be taken en route. For audit purposes, all justifications and approvals to this effect must be retained by the COR and the contractor until contract closeout at which point all documentation must be provided to the Contracting Officer for incorporation in the contract file. Below are possible justifications supporting these exceptional requests:

A) Medical accommodation – MCC has engaged the services of the U.S.
