Please provide proposal rates in the five-year schedule in Section H.3 and complete the Pricing Matrix Attachment 0011.

B.1.1.1 The estimated cost for the performance of work under this contract is established in Section B at the four-digit CLIN level. The contract clause entitled; LIMITATION OF COST applies to each CLIN separately.

Allowable costs shall be determined, and payment thereof, shall be IAW ALLOWABLE COST AND PAYMENT clause, FAR 52.216-7. No work is authorized outside the period of performance stated in the inidividual WDs, and any work performed outside of the period of performance is at the contractor's risk, for which the Government has no obligation to reimburse cost.

B.2 FIXED FEE

The fixed fee together with the reimbursement of cost shall constitute full and complete consideration for the contractor services in connection with the work required and performed under this contract. The contractor will be paid the total fixed fee for the performance of work IAW the contract clause entitled FIXED FEE, FAR 52.216-8, as set forth in Section B.2.1 and B.2.2 below.

B.2.1 LEVEL-OF-EFFORT CLIN(s) / WORK DIRECTIVE(s)

B.2.1.1 The fixed fee is payable based on satisfactory performance of the specified level of effort. For each request for payment, the contractor shall invoice fee as follows (subject to any applicable withholdings): Invoice Fee = Total WD Fixed Fee amount times the hours performed for the invoice period divided by total WD hours, subject to any applicable withholdings.

(Total Fixed Fee / Total Estimated Hours) x Actual Hours Worked = Fixed Fee Billed/Invoiced (subject to any withholds)

B.2.1.2 Pursuant to contract clause LIMITATION OF COST and FAR 16.306(d), in the event the contractor cannot perform LOE hour(s) within the estimated cost set forth in the CLIN, the Government may increase the estimated cost of the hour(s) but will not increase the fixed fee for the hours. In addition to the LIMITATION OF COST, the contractor shall be subject to the limitation of hours as specified on each WD.

B.2.2 COMPLETION CLIN(s) / WORK DIRECTIVE(s)

B.2.2.1 The fixed fee is directly expressed within respective Completion WDs. Fixed fee is payable based on satisfactory delivery and acceptance of respective WDs completion criteria. For each request for payment, the contractor shall invoice fee as follows: Invoice Fee

= Total WD Fixed Fee amount times the costs for the invoice period divided by total WD estimated cost, subject to any applicable withholdings.

(Actual Cost Worked / Total Estimated Cost) x Total Fixed Fee = Fixed Fee Billed/Invoiced (subject to any withholds). The maximum fixed fee is identified on the WD.

B.2.2.2 The fixed fee is based upon satisfactory completion of the scope within the period of performance. Pursuant to contract clause

LIMITATION OF COST and FAR 16.306(d), in the event the contractor cannot complete the scope within the estimated cost, the Government may require more effort without increase in fixed fee, provided the Government increases the estimated cost.
