222.13 and Department of Labor regulations, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Contractors and subcontractors at all tiers are encouraged to promote the training and employment of U.S. veterans while performing under a USACE Contract. While no set-aside, evaluation preference, or incentive applies to the solicitation or performance under the resultant Contract, USACE Contractors are encouraged to seek out highly qualified veterans to perform services under this Contract. The following resources are available to assist USACE Contractors in their outreach efforts:
a. U.S. Department of Labor Veterans employment: www.vets.gov/
b. Federal veteran employment information:
www.fedshirevets.gov/index.aspx
c. Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS):

1.10 PARTNERING
a. The Government intends to encourage the foundation of a cohesive partnership with the Contractor and its subcontractors. This partnership will be structured to draw on the strengths of each organization to identify and achieve reciprocal goals. Among the objectives are effective and efficient Contract performance and are intended to achieve completion within budget, on schedule, and in accordance with the plans and specifications; and to develop a single cooperative management team focused on the success of the project to mutual benefit of all stakeholders. This partnership will be bilateral in makeup, and participation will be totally voluntary. Any cost associated with effectuating this partnership will be agreed to by both parties, and will be shared equally with no change to the Contract price. An integral aspect of partnering is the resolution of disputes in a timely, professional, and non-adversarial manner through the use of issue clarification and problem solving. Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) methodologies will be encouraged in place of the more formal dispute resolution procedures. ADR will assist in promoting and maintaining an amicable working relationship to preserve the partnership. ADR is a voluntary, non-binding procedure available for
SECTION 01 10 00.00 25 Page 7 use by the parties to this Contract to resolve any dispute that may arise during performance.
b. Should the Contractor elect to participate in partnering, key on-site and home office management personnel will be required to attend a full day partnering session as directed by the Government with an outside facilitator. The cost of this facilitated session is anticipated to be around $5,000 and will be shared equally between the Contractor and the Government.
1.11 EQUIPMENT OWNERSHIP AND OPERATING EXPENSE SCHEDULE
a. This special contract requirement does not apply to terminations.
See FAR Part 49.
b. Allowable cost for construction and marine plant and equipment in sound workable condition owned or controlled and furnished by a contractor or subcontractor at any tier shall be based on actual cost data for each piece of equipment or groups of similar serial and series for which the Government can determine both ownership and operating costs from the contractor's accounting records. When both ownership and operating costs cannot be determined for any piece of equipment or groups of similar serial or series equipment from the contractor's accounting records, costs for that equipment shall be based upon the applicable provisions of EP 1110-1-8 , Construction Equipment Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule, Region VIII.
Working conditions shall be considered to be average for determining equipment rates using the schedule unless specified otherwise by the contracting officer. For equipment not included in the schedule, rates for comparable pieces of equipment may be used or a rate may be developed using the formula provided in the schedule. For forward pricing, the schedule in effect at the time of negotiations shall apply. For retroactive pricing, the schedule in effect at the time the work was performed shall apply.
c. Equipment rental costs are allowable, subject to the provisions of FAR 31.105(d)(ii) and FAR 31.205-36, Rental Costs. Rates for equipment rented from an organization under common control, lease-purchase arrangements, and sale-leaseback arrangements, will be determined using the schedule, except that actual rates will be used for equipment leased from an organization under common control that has an established practice of leasing the same or similar equipment to unaffiliated lessees.
d. When actual equipment costs are proposed and the total amount of the pricing action exceeds the SAT, the contracting officer shall request the contractor to submit either certified cost or pricing data, or partial/limited data, as appropriate. The data shall be submitted on Standard Form 1411, Contract Pricing Proposal Cover Sheet.
1.12 BASIS FOR SETTLEMENT OF PROPOSALS
a. Actual costs will be used to determine equipment costs for a settlement proposal submitted on the total cost basis.
b. In evaluating a termination settlement proposal using the total cost basis, the following principles will be applied to determine allowable equipment costs:
SECTION 01 10 00.00 25 Page 8
(1) Actual costs for each piece of equipment, or groups of similar serial or series equipment, need not be available in the contractor's accounting records to determine total actual equipment costs.
(2) If equipment costs have been allocated to a contract using predetermined rates, those charges will be adjusted to actual costs.
(3) Recorded job costs adjusted for unallowable expenses will be used to determine equipment operating expenses.
(4) Ownership costs (depreciation) will be determined using the contractor's depreciation schedule (subject to the provisions of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 31.205-11).
(5) License, taxes, storage and insurance costs are normally recovered as an indirect expense and unless the contractor charges these costs directly to contracts, they will be recovered through the indirect expense rate.
