Other applicable back up data such as records of decisions, pre-design investigation reports and design considerations will be furnished or made available to the Contractor. Joint USACE – Contractor site inspections are anticipated prior to negotiation of each task order.

1.5. DESCRIPTION OF TASK ORDERS

A Task Order is an official contracting instrument under this contract. The function is to direct the Contractor to perform scoped work and/or approved items of work. The Contracting Officer (KO), or his/her authorized representative, will furnish the Contractor with a Scope of Work for the activity or services required. The Service Contract Act or the Davis Bacon Act wages will be incorporated, as applicable, depending on the type of work being performed in each Task Order. The Contractor shall provide the Government with a cost proposal within 14 to 30 calendar days of the request for proposal, depending on the work/Task Order, or unless specified otherwise. The Contractor’s proposal shall be supported by appropriate documentation (production rates, use of overtime, crew sizes and make-up, types of equipment, materials, and supplies). The Government will review the proposal for reasonableness and completeness, and then negotiate with the Contractor all items and period(s) of performance. The KO will then issue the task order. Only the KO (or designee) may formally execute or modify Task Orders. The Contractor will not be reimbursed for the preparation of the cost proposal.

1.6. COST REIMBURSEMENT TASK ORDERS

Cost reimbursement task orders provide payment to the Contractor for allowable, allocable, and reasonable costs incurred in the performance of the work. This section outlines Government policies, procedures, practices, and requirements as it relates to cost reimbursement contracting mechanisms. If Government Furnished Property/ Government Furnished Equipment (GFP/GFE) is provided, it will be stated in the individual Task Order and will be accounted for in accordance with the approved property control plan (PCP) and any site-specific addendum to the PCP. If property is acquired by the Contractor under Cost Reimbursable task order in performance of the work, the Contractor acquired property (CAP) will also be accounted for in the same manner.

1.6.1. Objective

The objective of a cost reimbursement task order is for USACE and the Contractor to jointly accomplish the work in conformance with the specified requirements, to complete the work on schedule and at the most economical cost.

1.6.2. Management Organization, Responsibilities and Authorities

The Contractor shall provide a management staff and organization that is capable of effectively and efficiently managing its own resources, as well as any subcontracts.

Managers are to have relevant experience and past responsibilities to control costs and insure timely execution of the work. Likewise, key technical personnel are to have relevant education and experience to perform the scope of services. The primary Government authority under this contract is the KO. Designated representatives will be identified, in writing, as authorized Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), or Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) and serve as personnel of authority. Only the KO or ACO may cause an increase in the contract obligation amount. Technical direction under a cost reimbursement task order may also be made by the COR if it does not impact cost or schedule.

1.6.3. Cost Control

Since much of the risk associated with cost reimbursable contracting is borne by the Government, the Contractor must show evidence of sufficient cost control policies and procedures. Cost control is also important because of the multiple funding sources possible under this contract. It is imperative that the contractor be capable of estimating, budgeting, accounting, and reporting costs by individual funding sources as well as work item. In accordance with FAR 16. 104(h), the contractor must be capable to track costs on cost –reimbursable actions. To the extent practicable, the Government will attempt to segregate task orders and other work authorizations by sole funding source, for administrative purposes. The Contractor shall make available, upon request, supporting documents and provide for physical inspection or demonstration at the appropriate office, of its accounting system capabilities to support cost reimbursement contract accounting needs.

1.6.4. Mobilization

Mobilization is a non-recurring cost unique to individual work sites for a given task order.

Costs for mobilization will be reimbursed, if incurred, after formal execution of the relevant cost reimbursement task order. Mobilization costs prior to formal task orders are not reimbursable. Contractors are encouraged to segregate non-recurring costs such as mobilization when submitting task order proposals.

1.6.5. Contract Management Procedures

The Contractor is expected to have in place standard operating procedures that cover in detail the methods that the Contractor will employ relating to cost reimbursement contracted work with the Government, especially the capability to estimate, budget, account, and report costs.

1.6.6. Management Information System (MIS)

The principles of defining and maintaining a performance measurement baseline for comparison against the current estimate at completion and schedule are expected to be incorporated in some fashion in the contractor's MIS. Detailed analysis capability of cost variances for labor, material, equipment, overhead, etc., between the performance measurement baseline and the current estimate at completion is expected. The MIS must be capable of integrating cost and recording progress payments for fixed-price and/or cost reimbursement type subcontracts. The MIS shall include accurate updates of schedule logic, actual dates, and actual budgeting data on the schedule. The MIS shall be capable of simultaneously managing on multiple task orders, the current approved budget and schedule, actual cost and progress incurred, earned value, and projected future budget and schedule data. Key personnel successful experience in using the MIS tools should be demonstrated.

1.6.7. Work Allocation Document (WAD)

1.6.7.1. The Work Allocation Document system may be used to allocate previously obligated contract funds by the Government to the contractor and to further control the obligation or expenditures of funds for identified work. It is a series of numbered documents directly related to the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) prepared by the contractor, and approved by the KO or COR.

1.6.7.2. After task order issuance, the Government may request the contractor to submit WAD budgets in the government-specified WAD system format. This format will include a) an approved WBS; b) an estimate keyed to the WBS; c) a schedule for the task; and d) a narrative description of the scope of work. The Government will review the submitted WAD/WADs and approve/disapprove as necessary. The budget estimates of costs for the work orders submitted for each WAD shall not exceed the total budget for that order.

1.7. Sub-Contracting and Procurement

The KO shall review and consent to solicitations over $25,000. The Contractor must give notice to the KO and obtain specific approval for any cost reimbursement type subcontract. The Contractor will have detailed closeout procedures in place for subcontractors.

1.7.1. Just as the Government clearly defines its procurement policy, the contractor's procurement policy shall be clearly delineated. The contractor shall utilize procurement and subcontracting procedures consistent with good faith principles and fair dealing.

Further, where required, the contractor will employ the principles and requirements of the FAR.

1.7.2. The objective of the Government is to select contractors that will raise the standards of subcontract administration while incorporating integrity and peer respect.

Adequate staffing to perform subcontract management is required. Detailed contractor procurement procedures and subcontract program plans are critical to the successful implementation of this contract. In accordance with FAR 44.203(a), the KO’s consent to a subcontract or approval of the contractor’s purchasing system does not constitute a determination of the acceptability of the subcontract terms or price, or of the allowability of costs, unless the consent or approval specifies otherwise.

1.7.3. Technical Changes and Claims

Contract clauses for changes and disputes are included for cost reimbursement task orders. The contractor shall minimize subcontract disputes and effectively and efficiently control and process subcontract changes. Pre-pricing of subcontract changes is preferred, as is a formal system of issuing subcontract changes where obligations are recorded in advance of issuance of drawing changes or task orders issued to the contractor.

1.7.4. Closeout Procedures

All cost reimbursement task orders will require a final audit by the cognizant audit office of the Federal Government. The contractor is expected to demonstrate procedures and processes that facilitate quick subcontract and supplier closeout and resolution of disputes.

1.7.5. Fee Determination

For Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee Task Orders, the fee rate will be determined during initial negotiations for each separate task order.

1.8. SITE-SPECIFIC SUBMITTALS. Site work shall not commence on a project until the Government, (COR) or other management personnel has approved all the site-specific submittals required for each specific Task Order.
