SECTION G CLAUSES

G001 CONTRACTING OFFICER AUTHORITY

Only a warranted Contracting Officer (either a Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) or an Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO)), acting within their delegated limits, has the authority to issue modifications or otherwise change the terms and conditions of this contract. If an individual other than the Contracting Officer attempts to make changes to the terms and conditions of this contract you shall not proceed with the change and shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer.

G002 PAYMENT SCHEDULE AND INVOICE SUBMISSION

The Contractor shall submit invoices pertaining to this contract action via e-mail.

The subject line shall include the contract number, project number, if known, and an invoice number.

CEFC-S0invoices@usace.army.mil

Additionally, the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and SERDP/ESTCP Program Office shall be copied on all invoice submissions.

The COR’s email is provided in separate correspondence.

The SERDP/ESTCP Program Office email for invoices osd.mc-alex.ousd-atl.mbx.serdp-estcp-invoices@mail.mil The final invoice should be marked as such. If more than 30 days have passed since the invoice was submitted. Questions regarding status of payment should be directed to the USACE Finance Center at:

CEFC-Payments@usace.army.mil

Instructions for Final Invoices

1. Cost Contracts: The final invoice (public voucher) must be submitted directly to the Contracting Officer and is subject to review and acceptance the Program Manager and requires approval by the Contracting Officer prior to final payment being released.

- Universities: Final payments will be approved once the Contracting Officer verifies the cumulative amount invoiced matches the contract price. If the amount invoiced does not match the final contract price a modification to de-obligate unused funds may be necessary prior to paying the final invoice (public voucher).

- Businesses: The final invoice will not be approved for payment until after the Program Manager accepts all deliverables prior to payment, and the invoice is reviewed and approved by the Contracting Officer. Final payment will not be approved until the Contracting Officer receives an audit or receives a low-risk memorandum from DCAA or another cognizant Government authority.

In accordance with FAR 42.705: All final Indirect Cost rates are subject to review and approval by the Contracting Officer. Once the audit or low-risk memorandum is received, the Contracting Officer will verify the final invoice cumulative amounts matches the final contract price and complete a modification to de-obligate unused funds if necessary prior to approving payment for the final invoice.

Summary: For cost contracts, final Public Voucher's must always be reviewed/approved by a KO, and the P.M. must be involved - i.e. acceptance.

2. Firm Fixed-Price Contracts: The final invoice must be submitted directly to the Contracting

Officer and is subject to review and acceptance the Program Manager and requires approval by the Contracting Officer prior to payment being released.

- Final invoice that match the contract price: once the Program Manager accepts the final deliverables, the Contracting Officer will approve the final invoice for payment.

- Final invoices that do not match the contract price: once the Program Manager accepts the final deliverables, the invoice is subject to review and approval by the Contracting Officer. A modification to de-obligate unused funds may be necessary prior to paying the final invoice.

Summary: For firm-fixed-price contracts: All final invoices for FFP contracts could go to CT for KO review; however, anytime the invoice total does NOT match the contract price, CT needs the final invoice so that a de-obligation modification can be started, and a KO can approve the invoice.

52.216-7 ALLOWABLE COST AND PAYMENT (AUG 2018)

(a) Invoicing.

(1) The Government will make payments to the Contractor when requested as work progresses, but (except for small business concerns) not more often than once every 2 weeks, in amounts determined to be allowable by the Contracting Officer in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 31.2 in effect on the date of this contract and the terms of this contract. The Contractor may submit to an authorized representative of the Contracting Officer, in such form and reasonable detail as the representative may require, an invoice or voucher supported by a statement of the claimed allowable cost for performing this contract.

(2) Contract financing payments are not subject to the interest penalty provisions of the Prompt Payment Act.

Interim payments made prior to the final payment under the contract are contract financing payments, except interim payments if this contract contains Alternate I to the clause at 52.232-25.

(3) The designated payment office will make interim payments for contract financing on the “30th” day after the designated billing office receives a proper payment request.

In the event that the Government requires an audit or other review of a specific payment request to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the contract, the designated payment office is not compelled to make payment by the specified due date.

(b) Reimbursing costs. (1) For the purpose of reimbursing allowable costs (except as provided in subparagraph (b)(2) of the clause, with respect to pension, deferred profit sharing, and employee stock ownership plan contributions), the term "costs" includes only--

(i) Those recorded costs that, at the time of the request for reimbursement, the Contractor has paid by cash, check, or other form of actual payment for items or services purchased directly for the contract;

(ii) When the Contractor is not delinquent in paying costs of contract performance in the ordinary course of business, costs incurred, but not necessarily paid, for--

(2) Ordinarily within 30 days of the submission of the Contractor's payment request to the Government;

(B) Materials issued from the Contractor's inventory and placed in the production process for use on the contract;

(C) Direct labor;

(D) Direct travel;

(iii) The amount of financing payments that have been paid by cash, check, or other forms of payment to subcontractors.

(2) Accrued costs of Contractor contributions under employee pension plans shall be excluded until actually paid unless--

(i) The Contractor's practice is to make contributions to the retirement fund quarterly or more frequently; and

(ii) The contribution does not remain unpaid 30 days after the end of the applicable quarter or shorter payment period (any contribution remaining unpaid shall be excluded from the Contractor's indirect costs for payment purposes).

(3) Notwithstanding the audit and adjustment of invoices or vouchers under paragraph (g) of this clause, allowable indirect costs under this contract shall be obtained by applying indirect cost rates established in accordance with paragraph (d) of this clause.

(4) Any statements in specifications or other documents incorporated in this contract by reference designating performance of services or furnishing of materials at the Contractor's expense or at no cost to the Government shall be disregarded for purposes of cost-reimbursement under this clause.

(c) Small business concerns. A small business concern may receive more frequent payments than every 2 weeks.

(d) Final indirect cost rates. (1) Final annual indirect cost rates and the appropriate bases shall be established in accordance with Subpart 42.7 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) in effect for the period covered by the indirect cost rate proposal.

(2)(i) The Contractor shall submit an adequate final indirect cost rate proposal to the Contracting Officer (or cognizant Federal agency official) and auditor within the 6-month period following the expiration of each of its fiscal years. Reasonable extensions, for exceptional circumstances only, may be requested in writing by the Contractor and granted in writing by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall support its proposal with adequate supporting data.

(ii) The proposed rates shall be based on the Contractor's actual cost experience for that period. The appropriate Government representative and the Contractor shall establish the final indirect cost rates as promptly as practical after receipt of the Contractor's proposal.

(iii) An adequate indirect cost rate proposal shall include the following data unless otherwise specified by the cognizant Federal agency official:

(A) Summary of all claimed indirect expense rates, including pool, base, and calculated indirect rate.

(B) General and Administrative expenses (final indirect cost pool). Schedule of claimed expenses by element of cost as identified in accounting records (Chart of Accounts).
