Other applicable back up data such as records of decisions, engineering evaluations/cost analysis, pre-design investigation reports and design considerations will be furnished or made available to the Contractor. Joint USACE – Contractor site inspections are anticipated prior to negotiation of each task order.

1.6 DESCRIPTION OF TASK ORDERS

A Task Order is an official contracting instrument under this contract. The function is to direct the Contractor to perform scoped work and/or approved items of work. The Contracting Officer, or his/her authorized representative, will furnish the Contractor with a Scope of Work for the activity or services required. The Contractor shall provide the Government with a cost proposal within 14 to 30 calendar days of the request for proposal, depending on the work/Task Order, or unless specified otherwise. The Contractor’s proposal shall be supported by appropriate documentation (production rates, use of overtime, crew sizes and make-up, types of equipment, materials and supplies). The Government will review the proposal for reasonableness and completeness, and then negotiate with the Contractor all items and period(s) of performance. The Contracting Officer will then issue the task order. Only the Contracting Officer (or designee) may formally execute or modify Task Orders. The Contractor will not be reimbursed for the preparation of the cost proposal.

1.7 COST REIMBURSEMENT TASK ORDERS

Cost reimbursement task orders provide payment to the Contractor for allowable, allocable, and reasonable costs incurred in the performance of the work. This section outlines Government policies, procedures, practices, and requirements as it relates to cost reimbursement contracting mechanisms. If Government Furnish Property/ Government Furnished Equipment (GFP/GFE) is provided, it will be stated in the individual Task Order and will be accounted for in accordance with the approved property control plan (PCP) and any site specific addendum to the PCP. If property is acquired by the Contractor under Cost Reimbursable task order in performance of the work, the Contractor acquired property (CAP) will also be accounted for in the same manner.

1.7.1 Objective

The objective of a cost reimbursement task order is for USACE and the Contractor to jointly accomplish the work in conformance with the specified requirements, to complete the work on schedule and at the most economical cost.

1.7.2 Management Organization, Responsibilities and Authorities

The Contractor shall provide a management staff and organization that is capable of effectively and efficiently managing its own resources, as well as any subcontracts. Managers are to have relevant experience and past responsibilities to control costs and insure timely execution of the work. Likewise, key technical personnel are to have relevant education and experience to perform the scope of services.

The primary Government authority under this contract is the Contracting Officer (CO). Designated representatives will be identified, in writing, as authorized Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), or Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) and also serve as personnel of authority. Only the CO or ACO may cause an increase in the contract obligation amount. Technical direction under a cost reimbursement task order may also be made by the COR as long as it does not impact cost or schedule.

1.7.3 Cost Control

Since much of the risk associated with cost reimbursable contracting is borne by the Government, the Contractor must show evidence of sufficient cost control policies and procedures. Cost control is also important because of the multiple funding sources possible under this contract. It is imperative that the contractor be capable of estimating, budgeting, accounting and reporting costs by individual funding sources as well as work item. In accordance with FAR 16. 104(h), the contractor must be capable to track costs on cost –reimbursable actions. To the extent practicable, the Government will attempt to segregate task orders and other work authorizations by sole funding source, for administrative purposes. The Contractor shall make available, upon request, supporting documents and provide for physical inspection or demonstration at the appropriate office, of its accounting system capabilities to support cost reimbursement contract accounting needs.

1.7.4 Mobilization

Mobilization is a non-recurring cost unique to individual work sites for a given task order. Costs for mobilization will be reimbursed, if incurred, after formal execution of the relevant cost reimbursement task order. Mobilization costs prior to formal task orders are not reimbursable. Contractors are encourage to segregate non-recurring costs such as mobilization when submitting task order proposals.

1.7.5 Contract Management Procedures

The Contractor is expected to have in place standard operating procedures that cover in detail the methods that the Contractor will employ relating to cost reimbursement contracted work with the Government, especially the capability to estimate, budget, account and report costs.

1.7.6 Management Information System (MIS)

The principles of defining and maintaining a performance measurement baseline for comparison against the current estimate at completion and schedule are expected to be incorporated in some fashion in the contractor's MIS. Detailed analysis capability of cost variances for labor, material, equipment, overhead, etc., between the performance measurement baseline and the current estimate at completion is expected.

The MIS must be capable of integrating cost and recording progress payments for fixed-price and/or cost reimbursement type subcontracts. The MIS shall include accurate updates of schedule logic, actual dates, and actual budgeting data on the schedule. The MIS shall be capable of simultaneously managing on multiple task orders, the current approved budget and schedule, actual cost and progress incurred, earned value, and projected future budget and schedule data. Key personnel successful experience in using the MIS tools should be demonstrated.

1.7.7 Work Allocation Document (WAD)

1.7.7.1 The Work Allocation Document system may be used to allocate previously obligated contract funds by the Government to the contractor and to further control the obligation or expenditures of funds for identified work. It is a series of numbered documents directly related to the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) prepared by the contractor, and approved by the CO or COR.

1.7.7.2 After task order issuance, the Government may request the contractor to submit WAD budgets in the government-specified WAD system format. This format will include: a) an approved WBS; b) an estimate keyed to the WBS; c) a schedule for the task; and d) a narrative description of the scope of work.

The Government will review the submitted WAD/WADs and approve/disapprove as necessary. The budget estimates of costs for the work orders submitted for each WAD shall not exceed the total budget for that order.

1.8 Sub-Contracting and Procurement

The Contracting Officer shall review and consent to solicitations over $25,000. The Contractor must give notice to the Contracting Officer and obtain specific approval for any cost reimbursement type subcontract. The Contractor will have detailed closeout procedures in place for subcontractors.

1..8.1 Just as the Government clearly defines its procurement policy, the contractor's procurement policy shall be clearly delineated. The contractor shall utilize procurement and subcontracting procedures consistent with good faith principles and fair dealing. Further, where required, the contractor will employ the principles and requirements of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.

1..8.2 The objective of the Government is to select contractors that will raise the standards of subcontract administration while incorporating integrity and peer respect. Adequate staffing to perform subcontract management is required. Detailed contractor procurement procedures and subcontract program plans are critical to the successful implementation of this contract. In accordance with FAR 44.203(a), the Contracting Officer’s consent to a subcontract or approval of the contractor’s purchasing system does not constitute a determination of the acceptability of the subcontract terms or price, or of the allowability of costs, unless the consent or approval specifies otherwise.

1.8.3 Technical Changes and Claims

Contract clauses for changes and disputes are included for cost reimbursement task orders. The contractor shall minimize subcontract disputes and effectively and efficiently control and process subcontract changes. Pre-pricing of subcontract changes is preferred, as is a formal system of issuing subcontract changes where obligations are recorded in advance of issuance of drawing changes or task orders issued to the contractor.

1.8.4 Closeout Procedures

All cost reimbursement task orders will require a final audit by the cognizant audit office of the Federal Government. The contractor is expected to demonstrate procedures and processes that facilitate quick subcontract and supplier closeout and resolution of disputes.

1.8.5 Fee Determination

For Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee Task Orders, the fee rate will be determined during initial negotiations for each separate task order.

1.9 SITE-SPECIFIC SUBMITTALS. Site work shall not commence on a project until the Government, (the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or other management personnel has approved all of the site-specific submittals required for each specific Task Order.

Automated information should be remotely accessible at the work site and other locations to allow for daily cost tracking of actual labor (both on-site and home office), equipment, purchases, subcontracts, other commitments, obligations, and expenditures. This system should be able to be used as a project management tool to capture committed or obligated costs as they occur, not when reconciled at invoice. Anticipated capabilities of a MIS include, but may not be limited, to the following:

3.10.2 As a minimum the system must have the following capabilities. All of these capabilities may not be required on every Task Order and will be required for each specifically based upon the need.

3.10.2.1 The cost tracking system shall be maintained on-site and shall provide real time ability to capture costs.

3.10.2.2 The cost tracking system shall have the ability to forecast costs.

3.10.2.3 The cost tracking system shall provide a daily report for review and approval by the Government.

3.10.2.4 The cost tracking system shall allow for active management and budgeting of task order costs, including but not limited to home office costs, direct field costs, indirect costs, subcontractor costs, equipment costs, and other project costs.

3.10.2.4 The cost tracking system shall have the ability to provide a weekly cost comparison/cost variance report. This report shall capture all committed/expended costs and shall allow the comparison of the forecasted total task order cost with the budgeted cost. It shall also show the overruns/underruns on the individual task order tasks.

3.10.2.5 Work Breakdown Structure.

The Contractor shall provide MIS procedures anticipated for tracking all phases of cost, from daily subcontracting, material, labor and overheads, through the phase required to invoice for cost. The daily cost tracking shall be performed in a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) format, with various defined levels of control. The upper levels of the WBS shall be where the Contractor’s costs roll-up to levels where the COR will manage costs and funding. For example, Level 1 would be the total project and Level 2 will be Engineering, Construction and Fee. The lower level of the WBS shall be where the Contractor controls costs per his own accounting system. The MIS and/or accounting system must be capable of recording and tracking costs by separate project funds in addition to work schedule items. Earned Value reporting is expanded at the upper levels of the WBS.

3.10.2.6 Planning and Scheduling

The planning and scheduling system shall be based on a network theory embodied in the critical path method (CPM) that shows the time needed for each step of the project and also the steps that must be taken in a logical sequence. This should include a standard network analysis system that can be resource loaded for cost and manpower projections and earned value analysis.

3.10.2.7 Technical and Regulatory Reports.

The Contractor shall track technical and regulatory reports using the MIS for each project, as required in the Task Order. These systems reports shall contain the following information, at a minimum: Contract number, Contractor name, project name, reporting period, scheduled completion date, actual completion date.

3.11 CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL (CQC)

The Contractor is responsible for quality control and shall establish and maintain an effective quality control system in compliance with the Contract Clause entitled “Inspection of Construction.” The quality control system shall consist of plans, procedures, and organizations necessary to produce an end product which complies with the contract requirements. The system shall cover all construction operations, both on-site and off-site and specific requirements shall be included in individual Task Orders.
