1.31 PROFIT

a. Use the weighted guidelines method of determining profit on any equitable adjustment change order or modification issued under this

SECTION 01 30 00.24 Page 16Am #0003 contract. The profit factors must be as follows:

Factor Rate Weight Value Degree of Risk 20 See Item Relative difficulty of work 15 b. below Size of Job 15 Period of performance 15 Contractor's investment 5 Assistance by Government 5 Subcontracting 25

b. Based on the circumstances of each procurement action, each of the above factors must be weighted from .03 to .12 as indicated below. Obtain the value by multiplying the rate by the weight. The value column when totaled indicates the fair and reasonable profit percentage under the circumstances of the particular procurement.

(1) Degree of Risk. Where the work involves no risk or the degree of risk is very small, the weighting should be .03; as the degree of risk increases, the weighting should be increased up to a maximum of .12.

Lump sum items will have, generally, a higher weighted value than the unit price items for which quantities are provided. Other things to consider:

the portion of the work to be done by subcontractors, nature of work, where work is to be performed, reasonableness of negotiated costs, amount of labor included in costs, and whether the negotiation is before or after performance of work.

(2) Relative Difficulty of Work. If the work is most difficult and complex, the weighting should be .12 and should be proportionately reduced to .03 on the simplest of jobs. This factor is tied in to some extent with the degree of risk. Some things to consider: the nature of the work, by whom it is to be done, where, and what is the time schedule.

(3) Size of Job. All work not in excess of $100,000 shall be weighted at .12. Work estimated between $100,000 and $5,000,000 shall be proportionately weighted from .12 to .05.

(4) Periods of Performance. Jobs in excess of 24 months are to be weighted at .12. Jobs of lesser duration are to be proportionately weighted to a minimum of .03 for jobs not to exceed 30 days. No weight where additional time not required.

(5) Contractor's Investment. To be weighted from .03 to .12 on the basis of below average, average, and above average. Things to consider: amount of subcontracting, mobilization payment item, Government furnished property, equipment and facilities, and expediting assistance.

(6) Assistance by Government. To be weighted from .12 to .03 on the basis of average to above average. Things to consider: use of Government-owned property, equipment and facilities, and expediting assistance.

(7) Subcontracting. To be weighted inversely proportional to the amount of subcontracting. Where 80 percent or more of the work is to be subcontracted, the weighting is to be .03 and such weighting proportionately increased to .12 where all the work is performed by the Contractor's own forces.

1.38 COST AND TIME IMPACT (CTI) LOG

a. Any changes with an absolute value under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) at the time of initiation of the change and within the Administrative Contracting Officer's (ACO) authority, may be executed using the Cost and Time Impact Log (CTI Log) processes as described herein. The purpose of the CTI Log is to provide efficient and effective change management process for the mutual benefit of the Government and the Contractor while partnering to execute this contract.

b. The CTI Log process is a collaborative, proactive, and efficient change management process. In general, the CTI Log process is as described below.

1. The CTI Log is designated for use on work items determined to be changes where individual costs are anticipated to be less than the SAT. The process starts with a discussion between USACE on-site Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) or ACO and the prime contractor's authorized field representative. If it appears the issue cannot be resolved through a no-cost clarification of the contract requirements, the USACE COR will request the contractor to submit a confirming Request for Information (RFI).

Where the solution to the problem is not apparent and not initially resolvable at the field level, the Contractor may submit to USACE a “non-confirming” RFI and USACE shall provide technical direction. If the absolute value of the change is anticipated to exceed the SAT, the contractor will be advised that a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the change will be forthcoming and that the CTI Log process shall not be utilized.

2. The contractor submits the confirming RFI identifying the potential Cost and/or Time impact issue as previously discussed between the USACE COR and the contractor's field representative, along with a proposed solution. In addition to the technical details, the RFI shall contain, to the maximum extent practicable, a proposal for the change from the contractor with an acceptable breakdown of all costs (representing both the prime and each of the applicable subcontractors' costs) to include labor, equipment and material. Time impacts, if applicable, must include a Time Impact Analysis (TIA) of work activities. The prime and subcontractor(s) will provide their markups for each of the

SECTION 01 30 00.24 Page 19Am #0003 individual changes as they arise, to include profit development in accordance with (IAW) the alternate Weighted Profit Guidelines approach per UAI 5115.404-73. If mutually agreed upon by both the Government and Contractor, the Contractor may submit the confirming RFI without the detailed cost proposal and/or the Time Impact Analysis, but shall contain a ROM of cost impacts and time impacts.
