**The Fixed Fee rate for task orders issued under this contract is capped at 8.0%. Notwithstanding this amount, an offeror may propose a more competitive fixed fee amount.**
**To be used in Term (Level-of-effort) Task orders.**
(a) Subject to the provisions of the "Limitation of Cost" or "Limitation of Funds" clause (whichever is applicable to this contract), it is hereby understood and agreed that the fixed fee is based upon the contractor providing the below listed number of staff-hours of direct labor, hereinafter referred to as X, at the estimated cost and during the term of this contract specified elsewhere herein:
[insert number of estimated direct labor staff hours]
CLIN Total Staff-hours of Direct Labor (X)
The contractor agrees to provide the total level of effort specified above in performance of work described in Sections "B" and "C" of this contract. The total staff-hours of direct labor shall include subcontractor direct labor hours for those subcontractors identified in the contractor's proposal as having hours included in the proposed level of effort.
(b) Of the total staff-hours of direct labor set forth above, it is estimated that [insert number of estimated direct staff hours identified as competitive (uncompensated overtime) hours] staff-hours are competitive time (uncompensated overtime). Competitive time (uncompensated overtime) is defined as hours provided by personnel in excess of 40 hours per week without additional compensation for such excess work. All other effort is defined as compensated effort. If no amount is indicated in the first sentence of this paragraph, competitive time (uncompensated overtime) effort performed by the contractor shall not be counted in fulfillment of the level of effort obligations under this contract.
(c) Effort performed in fulfilling the total level of effort obligations specified above shall only include effort performed in direct support of this contract and shall not include time and effort expended on such things as local travel from an employee's residence to their usual work location, uncompensated effort while on travel status, truncated lunch periods, or other time and effort which does not have a specific and direct contribution to the tasks described in Section B.
(d) It is understood and agreed that various conditions may exist prior to or upon expiration of the term of the contract, with regard to the expenditure of labor staff-hours and/or costs thereunder which may require adjustment to the aggregate fixed fee. The following actions shall be dictated by the existence of said conditions:
(1) If the contractor has provided not more than [insert percentage (usually 105%)]% of X or not less than [insert percentage (usually 95%)]% of X, within the estimated cost, and at the term of the contract, then the fee shall remain as set forth in Section B.
(2) If the contractor has provided X-staff-hours, within the term, and has not exceeded the estimated cost then the Contracting Officer may require the contractor to continue performance until the expiration of the term, or until the expenditure of the estimated cost of the contract except that, in the case of any items or tasks funded with O&MN funds, except the "term" of performance shall not exceed a 12 month period.
In no event shall the contractor be required to provide more than [insert percentage (same as first percentage in subparagraph (d)(1)]% of X within the term and estimated cost of this contract. The fee shall remain as set forth in Section B.
(3) If the contractor expends the estimated cost of the contract, during the term of the contract and has provided less than X staff-hours, the Government may require the contractor to continue performance, by providing cost growth funding, without adjusting the fixed fee, until such time as the contractor has provided X staff-hours.
(4) If the Contracting Officer does not elect to exercise the Government's rights as set forth in paragraph (d)(2) and (d)(3) above, and the contractor has not expended more than [insert percentage (same as second percentage in subparagraph (d)(1)]% of X staff-hours, the fixed fee shall be equitably adjusted downward to reflect the diminution of work.
(5) Nothing herein contained shall, in any way, abrogate the contractor's responsibilities, and/or the Government's rights within the terms of the contract provision entitled "Limitation of Cost" or "Limitation of Funds" as they shall apply throughout the term of the contract, based upon the total amount of funding allotted to the contract during its specified term.
(e) Within 45 days after completion of the work under each separately identified period of performance hereunder, the contractor shall submit the following information in writing to the Contracting Officer with copies to the cognizant Contract Administration Office and DCAA office to which vouchers are submitted:
(1) The total number of staff-hours of direct labor expended during the applicable period.
(2) A breakdown of this total showing the number of staff-hours expended in each direct labor classification and associated direct and indirect costs.
(3) A breakdown of other costs incurred.
(4) The contractor's estimate of the total allowable cost incurred under the contract for the period.
In the case of a cost under-run, the contractor shall submit the following information in addition to that required above:
(5) The amount by which the estimated cost of this contract may be reduced to recover excess funds and the total amount of staff-hours not expended, if any.
(6) A calculation of the appropriate fee reduction in accordance with this text.
All submissions required by this paragraph shall include subcontractor information, if any.
(f) SPECIAL INSTRUCTION TO THE PAYING OFFICE REGARDING WITHHELD FEE
Fees withheld pursuant to the provisions of this contract, such as the withholding provided by the "Allowable Cost and Payment" and "Fixed Fee" clauses, shall not be paid until the contract has been modified to reduce the fixed fee in accordance with paragraph (d) above, except that no such action is required if the total level of effort provided falls within the limits established in paragraph (d) above.

EXAMPLE 1: Employee's one way commuting distance to regular place of work is 7 miles. Employee drives from residence to an alternate work site, a distance of 18 miles. Upon completion of work, employee returns to residence, a distance of 18 miles.
In this case, the employee is entitled to be reimbursed for the distance that exceeds the normal round trip commuting distance (14 miles). The employee is reimbursed for 22 miles (18 + 18 - 14 = 22).
EXAMPLE 2: Employee's one way commuting distance to regular place of work is 15 miles. Employee drives from residence to an alternate work site, a distance of 5 miles. Upon completion of work, employee returns to residence, a distance of 5 miles.
In this case, the employee is not entitled to be reimbursed for the travel performed (10 miles), since the distance traveled is less than the commuting distance (30 miles) to the regular place of work.
EXAMPLE 3: Employee's one way commuting distance to regular place of work is 15 miles. Employee drives to regular place of work. Employee is required to travel to an alternate work site, a distance of 30 miles. Upon completion of work, employee returns to residence, a distance of 15 miles.
In this case, the employee is entitled to be reimbursed for the distance that exceeds the normal round trip commuting distance (30 miles). The employee is reimbursed for 30 miles (15 + 30 + 15 - 30 = 30).
EXAMPLE 4: Employee's one way commuting distance to regular place of work is 12 miles. In the morning, the employee drives to an alternate work site (45 miles). In the afternoon, the employee returns to the regular place of work (67 miles). After completion of work, employee returns to residence, a distance of 12 miles.
In this case, the employee is entitled to be reimbursed for the distance that exceeds the normal round trip commuting distance (24 miles). The employee is reimbursed for 100 miles (45 + 67 + 12 - 24 = 100).
EXAMPLE 5: Employee's one way commuting distance to regular place of work is 35 miles. Employee drives to the regular place of work (35 miles). Later, the employee drives to alternate work site #1 (50 miles) and then to alternate work site #2 (25 miles).
Employee then drives to residence (10 miles).
In this case, the employee is entitled to be reimbursed for the distance that exceeds the normal commuting distance (70 miles). The employee is reimbursed for 50 miles (35 + 50 + 25 + 10 - 70 = 50).
EXAMPLE 6: Employee's one way commuting distance to regular place of work is 20 miles. Employee drives to the regular place of work (20 miles). Later, the employee drives to alternate work site #1 (10 miles) and then to alternate work site #2 (5 miles). Employee then drives to residence (2 miles).
In this case, the employee is not entitled to be reimbursed for the travel performed (37 miles), since the distance traveled is less than the commuting distance (40 miles) to the regular place of work.
