(2) Terminate the work covered by the order as provided in the Termination clause of this contract.

(b) If a stop-work order issued under this clause is canceled or the period of the order or any extension thereof expires, the Contractor shall resume work. The Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment in the delivery schedule, the estimated cost, the fee, or a combination thereof, and in any other terms of the contract that may be affected, and the contract shall be modified, in writing, accordingly, if--

(1) The stop-work order results in an increase in the time required for, or in the Contractor's cost properly allocable to, the performance of any part of this contract; and

(2) The Contractor asserts its right to the adjustment within 30 days after the end of the period of work stoppage;

provided, that, if the Contracting Officer decides the facts justify the action, the Contracting Officer may receive and act upon the claim submitted at any time before final payment under this contract.

(c) If a stop-work order is not canceled and the work covered by the order is terminated for the convenience of the Government, the Contracting Officer shall allow reasonable costs resulting from the stop-work order in arriving at the termination settlement.

Section G - Contract Administration Data

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 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.

Contractor Compensation Cap for Contracts Awarded on or after June 24, 2014

Section 702 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 (BBA; Pub. L. 113-67, December 26, 2013) established a $487,000 cap on the reimbursement of compensation costs for contractor employees, adjusted annually to reflect the change in the Employment Cost Index for all workers as calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BBA cap is codified statute (10 U.S.C. 2324(e)(1)(P) and 41 U.S.C. 4304(a)(16). See the table below for adjusted cap amounts for costs incurred in 2015 and subsequent years.

Compensation Cap Amounts for Contracts Awarded on or after June 24, 20141

1 Current FY Cap Amount = Prior FY Cap Amount x Change in Employment Cost Index for all workers [i.e., BLS Table 4. Compensation (Not Seasonally Adjusted) Employment Cost Index for total compensation, for civilian workers, by occupational group and industry. (Twelve Months Ended September 30)]. Source:

The BBA cap:

• replaces the statutory formula cap established by 41 USC 1127 for contracts awarded as of

June 24, 2014; and

• limits the reimbursement of compensation costs for all contractor employees on all contracts awarded by all executive agencies of the Government.

Section 702 provides for a waiver of the BBA cap amount by the head of an executive agency.

One or more narrowly targeted exceptions for scientists, engineers, or other specialists may be established upon a determination that such exceptions are need to ensure that the executive agency has continued access to needed skills and capabilities. The Director of the Office of Management and Budget is required to report to Congress on any waivers of the BBA cap amounts that are in effect for the fiscal year.

Contractor Compensation Cap for Contracts Awarded Before June 24, 2014

Overview of Statutory Formula Cap on Allowable Benchmark Amount The allowability of the compensation costs for the senior executives of Government contractors is capped by statute (10 U.S.C. 2324(e)(1)(P) and 41 U.S.C. 4304(a)(16), both as in effect prior to June 24, 2014) at a benchmark compensation cap amount determined in accordance with a statutory formula.

Determination of the Statutory Formula Cap Amount The Administrator, Office of Federal Procurement Policy, (OFPP), determines the benchmark compensation amount as required by Section 39 of the OFPP Act, as amended (41 U.S.C. 1127, as in effect prior to June 24, 2014). The benchmark amount applicable for a fiscal year is determined in accordance with a statutory formula; it is the median amount of the compensation provided for all senior executives of all benchmark corporations per commercially available surveys for the most recent year for which data is available at the time the OFPP Administrator determines the amount. The data used is the median (50th percentile) amount of compensation (total amount of wages, salary, bonuses and deferred compensation) accrued over a recent 12-month period for the top five highest paid employees in management positions at each home office and each segment of publicly traded U.S. companies with annual sales over $50 million.

Once a benchmark compensation amount, otherwise known as the section 1127 statutory formula cap amount, is established for a fiscal year, it is applicable for that fiscal year for a contractor, and for subsequent fiscal years, unless and until revised by OFPP.

The statutory formula cap amount for a fiscal year as determined by the OFPP Administrator applies to limit the reimbursement of the contractor’s allowable compensation costs incurred after a stated date. If the contractor’s fiscal year does not coincide with the fiscal year for the statutory formula cap amount as determined by OFPP (i.e., the calendar year), the benchmark compensation amount as determined by OFPP is adjusted for the contractor’s fiscal year. To adjust for the contractor’s fiscal year when it is other than the calendar year, the statutory formula cap amount for each of the two calendar years straddled by the contractor’s fiscal year are pro-rated for the contractor’s fiscal year. The sum of the pro-rata portions of the OFPP determined statutory formula cap amounts for the two calendar years straddled by the contractor’s fiscal year is the benchmark compensation statutory formula cap amount, as adjusted for the contractor’s fiscal year, applicable to the contractor’s contracts. The benchmark compensation statutory formula cap amount, as adjusted for the contractor’s fiscal year, is applicable to limit the reimbursement of the contractor’s allowable compensation costs on applicable contracts.

Application to Senior Executives The reimbursement of the compensation costs for certain senior executives of the contractor are subject to the section 1127 statutory formula cap amount. The statutory definition of ‘senior executive’ has changed over time. Prior to January 2, 1999, ‘senior executive’ means the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or any individual acting in a similar capacity at the contractor’s headquarters; the four most highly compensated employees in management positions at the contractor’s headquarters, other than the CEO; and if the contractor has intermediate home offices or segments that report directly to the contractor’ headquarters, the five most highly http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:10%20section:2324%20edition:prelim)%20OR%20(granuleid:USC-prelim-title10-section2324)&f=treesort&edition=prelim&num=0&jumpTo=true http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:41%20section:4304%20edition:prelim)%20OR%20(granuleid:USC-prelim-title41-section4304)&f=treesort&edition=prelim&num=0&jumpTo=true http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:41%20section:1127%20edition:prelim)%20OR%20(granuleid:USC-prelim-title41-section1127)&f=treesort&edition=prelim&num=0&jumpTo=true compensated employees in management positions at each such intermediate home office or segment. Effective January 2, 1999, ‘senior executive’ means the five most highly compensated employees in management positions at each home office and each segment of the contractor, whether or not the home or segment reports directly to the contractor’s headquarters.

The section 1127 statutory formula cap amount, as determined annually by OFPP, is the cap on the reimbursement of the allowable compensation costs for certain senior executives incurred on contracts awarded by the civilian agencies (other than the Department of Defense – DOD, National Aeronautics and Space Administration – NASA, and Coast Guard – CG) prior to June 24, 2014; the same statutory formula cap amount also limits the reimbursement of the allowable compensation costs for certain senior executives incurred on contracts awarded by DOD, NASA, and CG, but only on those contracts awarded prior to December 31, 2011 (rather than June 24, 2014 as for the civilian agencies). The section 1127 statutory formula cap is implemented at FAR 31.205-6(p)(1) for senior executives for contracts with executive agencies.

Application to All Contractor Employees Section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act FY 2012 increased the number of contractor employee whose allowable compensation costs were limited by the statutory formula cap for contracts with DOD, NASA, and CG (but not for contracts with the civilian agencies).

The same statutory formula cap amount that limited the reimbursement of the allowable compensation costs for certain senior executives on contracts with the executive agencies was expanded to limit the reimbursement…
