Miscellaneous
Proposal Travel Requirements
Proposals shall include an itemized cost breakdown of all travel expenses. The maximum for proposed travel expenses under this contract are based on the various rates published by the General Services Administration (GSA). Links to applicable rates are listed below.
• Travel expenses are limited to the lowest airfare rates published to reasonably meet course scheduling requirements by advance purchase (to the maximum extent feasible given the individual circumstance) and the published federal rates for meals and incidentals per diem, lodging per diem, mileage reimbursement (where a Contractor employee or official uses their personal or company vehicle for travel to a project site) and car rental requirements.
o Car rental expenses proposed shall be based on the minimum size vehicle necessary for reasonable comfort of the number of estimated travelers, distance proposed for travel. For example, where a single individual is proposed for travel involving a journey of, say, 400 miles roundtrip, a compact sedan would be the appropriate maximum size vehicle. The status of the traveler within the firm has no bearing on the vehicle size or type allowed for contract travel.
o Federal travel per diem rates are based on the location of the travel destination. Please note that for all days of travel (usually only the first and last day of each trip) the meal and incidentals maximum reimbursement Per Diem is limited to 3/4th (75 percent) of the published daily rate for each location. The Contractor is responsible for using the then- current federal rates for travel expenses in each proposal. Federal travel rates are updated as changes occur and available for reference at the following URLs:
▪ Per Diem Rates: https://www.gsa.gov/plan-book/per-diem-rates
▪ Mileage Reimbursement Rates: http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/100715
