The request should direct DCAA to send a copy of the final report
to the requestor and to OIG's Assistant Director for External
Audits.
(iii) The OIG will issue the final report
and will be responsible for tracking implementation of the recommendations
and/or resolution of questioned costs.
(4) Contracting offices requesting DCAA to perform audits will be required to enter into reimbursable agreements with DCAA. Information on how to enter into the agreements is available from the Defense Contract Audit Agency, Attn: CFB, 8725 John J. Kingman Road, Suite 2135, Fort Belvoir VA 22060-6219. Telephone Number: (703) 767-2215.
(a) If the total profit or fee prenegotiation objective calculated using the structured approach exceeds the amount proposed by an offeror or contractor, the contractor proposed amount shall be used as the maximum prenegotiation objective.
(b) Reclamation profit policy for construction and architect-engineer services contracts is contained in WBR 1415.404-8001 and 8002, respectively.
WBR 1415.404-80 Specific profit analysis factors.
WBR 1415.404-8001 Construction contract actions.
The procedures in this section shall be used for establishing profit objectives for negotiated construction contracts, including modifications, when cost analysis has been used in establishing prenegotiation objectives and the contract action is expected to exceed $100,000.
(a) Calculation of profit objective . The rate listed for a factor in paragraph (b) of this section shall be multiplied by the assigned weight (ranging from .03 to .12) to obtain the profit percentage for the factor. The individual factor percentages shall then be added to obtain the total profit rate objective for the contract action. Additional factors may be used as prescribed in paragraph (c) of this section.
(b) Factors.
(1) Subcontracting (Rate = 25). This factor considers the extent of subcontracting to be used by the contractor in performing the work. For efforts where 60 percent or more of the cost of the work will be expended through the use of subcontracts, a weighting of .03 shall be assigned. Greater weights may be assigned in proportion to the use of less sub contracting.
(2) Risk (Rate = 20). This factor measures the contractor's risk in performing the required work. In assigning the weight, the following factors should be considered:
(i) The quality and diversity needs of the tasks required;
(ii) the approach needed to perform the work, including the types and quantities of direct labor; and
(iii) any special controls which may be re- quired. In addition, the percentage of work already completed under a change order prior to definitization should be considered, since the degree or risk lowers as the work is completed (see WBR 1443.204(b)(4) ). Generally, weighting should not exceed .06 when 50 percent or more of the work has already been performed, except when a price ceiling has been imposed on the work. Weighting should be .00 if all work has been performed.
(3) Complexity (Rate = 15 ). This factor measures the complexity of the work, and technical and administrative skills required, and the nature of any technical specifications which govern the work. For difficult and complex work which significantly varies from other work being performed under the contract, a weighting of .12 may be appropriate; the weighting should be proportionately reduced to .03 for the simple tasks performed.
(4) Size (Rate = 15). This factor considers the estimated cost of the work to be performed. If the estimated amount is between $100,000 and $5,000,000, proportional weightings of .12 to .04 shall be assigned. Amounts in excess of $5,000,000, should use a weighting of .03.
(5) Period (Rate = 15). This factor measures the length of time estimated to accomplish the work by giving:
(i) the greatest weight to performance in excess of 24 months;
(ii) proportionately weighting work of shorter duration to a minimum of .03 for jobs which can be completed in less than 30 days; and
(iii) a not-to-exceed weighting of .03 when additional time is not required under a modification.
(6) Investment (Rate = 10). This factor measures the extent of the contractor's investment including:
(i) use of any contractor facilities to perform the work versus government-furnished property required;
(ii) any mobilization payment required;
(iii) the extent to which the contractor is using its own labor resources to perform the work; and
(iv) the method and frequency of progress payments to be made and their impact on the contractor's cash flow. The greater the contractor's investment, the higher the weighting which may be assigned.
(c) Additional factors. The following factors, to be weighted from .03 to .10, may be used, in addition to those in paragraph (b) of this section if determined by the CO to be applicable to the contract action.
(1) Performance (Rate = 5) . This factor shall be used for modifications when the contractor's demonstrated performance in accomplishing the work under the contract has been consistently above average. In evaluating this factor, consideration should be given to reviewing:
(i) the contractor's record in meeting performance schedules;
(ii) reliability and validity of proposal cost estimates;
(iii) degree of cooperation displayed in meeting contract objectives;
(iv) timeliness of proposal submissions; and
(v) overall compliance with contract clauses and requirements.
(2) Socioeconomic program implementation (Rate =5). This factor shall be used for modifications when the contractor has demonstrated consistent performance in accomplishing socioeconomic program objectives under the contract. Weight shall be given to the contractor's performance under its Subcontracting Program, or documented compliance with socioeconomic contract clauses.
WBR 1415.404-8002 Architect-engineer services.
The procedures in this section shall be used for establishing profit objectives for architect-engineer services contracts, including modifications, when a cost analysis has been used in establishing prenegotiation objectives and the contract action is estimated to exceed $100,000.
(a) Calculation of profit objective . The rate listed for a factor in paragraph (b)below shall be multiplied by the weight assigned to the factor (.07 to .15, except for subparagraphs (b)(2) and (b)(5) which shall use weights of .03 to .15) to obtain the profit percentage for the factor. The individual factor percentages are then added to obtain the total profit rate objective for the contract action.
(b) Factors .
(1) Subcontracting (Rate = 25). This factor considers the extent of subcontracting to be used by the contractor in performing the work. For efforts where 50 percent or more of the cost of the work will be expended through subcontracts, a weighting of .07 shall be assigned. Greater weights may be assigned in proportion to the use of less subcontracting.
(2) Risk (Rate = 20). This factor measures the degree of the contractor's risk. Evaluation of risks in performing the work should consider:
(i) the quality and diversity needed for the tasks required;
(ii) the approach needed to perform the work (including the types and quantities of direct labor); and
(iii) any special controls which may be re quired. Generally, weighting should not exceed .06 when 50 percent or more of the work has already been performed, except when a price ceiling has been imposed on the work.
(3) Complexity (Rate = 15). This factor measures the complexity of the design work and technical engineering and administrative skills required. If the nature of the design work is most difficult and complex, the weighting should be .15 and should be proportionately reduced to .07 for the simplest of engineering tasks.
(4) Size (Rate = 15). This factor considers the estimated cost of the work to be performed. If the estimated cost is between $100,000 and $1,000,000, proportion weightings of .12 to .08 shall be assigned; for amounts in excess of $1,000,000 a weighting of .07 shall be used.
(5) Period (Rate = 15). This factor measures the length of time required to accomplish the work with the greatest weight given to performance in excess of 180 days. Work of shorter duration should be proportionately weighted to a minimum of .07 for jobs which can be completed in less than 60 days. Weighting should not exceed .03 when additional time is not required under a modification.
(6) Investment (Rate = 10). This factor measures the extent of the contractor's investment including:
(i) use of any contractor facilities to perform the work versus government-furnished property required;
(ii) the extent to which the contractor is using its own engineering resources to perform the work; and
(iii) the method and frequency of progress payments to be made and the impact on the contractor's cash flow. The greater the contractor's investment, the higher the Weighting which may be assigned.
(c) Additional factors . The following factors, to be weighted from .03 to .10, may be used in addition to those in paragraph (b) of this section if determined by the CO to be applicable to the contract action.
(1) Performance (Rate = 5). This factor shall be used for modifications when the contractor's demonstrated performance in accomplishing the work has been consistently above average. In evaluating this factor, consideration should be given to:
(i) reviewing the contractor's record in meeting performance schedules;
(ii) reliability and validity of proposal cost estimates;
(iii) degree of cooperation displayed in meeting contract objectives;
(iv) timeliness of proposal submissions; and
(v) overall compliance with contract clauses and requirements.
(2) Socioeconomic program implementation (Rate = 5) . This factor shall be used to measure the contractor's demonstrated performance in accomplishing socioeconomic programs under the contract. The contractor's performance under this factor measures the length of time required to accomplish the work with the greatest weight given to performance in excess of 180 days. Work of shorter duration should be proportionately weighted to a minimum of .07 for jobs which can be completed in less than 60 days. Weighting should not exceed .03 when additional time is not required under a Subcontracting Program, or documented compliance with socioeconomic contract clauses.
WBR 1415.405 Price negotiation .
Pursuant to FAR 15.405, the CCO is authorized to resolve contract actions involving an impasse on price or profit/fee between the CO and the contractor. The HCO is authorized to resolve these stalemates if the CO is the CCO.
WBR 1415.406-1 Prenegotiation objectives.
(a) In accordance with the requirements of FAR 15.406-1, prenegotiation objectives shall be developed for CO approval only by the contract negotiator, contract specialist, price analyst or other qualified individual who is assigned this responsibility by the CO. The objectives shall be established using Section I (Prenegotiation Plan) of the format illustrated in WBR 1453.303-1415-2, Price Negotiation Memorandum, for all pricing actions exceeding $25,000 except those conducted pursuant to FAR Part 13 where the documentation requirements of 13.106 shall be followed. The format may be modified at Section I(6) to provide for target objectives rather than minimum and maximum objectives. A single Prenegotiation Plan may be prepared which contains separate prenegotiation objectives for each proposal in the competitive range. Significant variances between the Government cost estimate and prenegotiation objective(s) shall be documented including any supporting information received from the individual who prepared the estimate.
(b) Prenegotiation objectives prepared in accordance with paragraph (a) above shall be reviewed in accordance with procedures for independent review required under WBR 1401.7001-3(c ). The purpose of the review is to ensure that the negotiator (or team) is prepared to enter into meaningful negotiations based on a realistic and fair plan which is achievable. The extent of the review should be directly related to the dollar value and complexity of the individual acquisition action.
(c) For pricing actions exceeding $500,000 and which involve construction contract claims, construction-related supply contract claims, or requests for equitable adjustments arising under construction or construction-related supply contracts (other than requests submitted as a result of a unilateral change order modification), the CO may request a technical analysis from Construction Management, D-8160, prior to establishing prenegotiation objectives (see WBR 1433.210-80 ).
(d)
(1) Except as required by WBR 1449.111, prenegotiation objectives shall be approved in accordance with regional office procedures prior to negotiation of pricing actions which are less than the acquisition office thresholds established in the annual review agreement required by WBR 1401.7001-3(b)(2)(i).
(2) Prior approval of prenegotiation objectives shall be obtained from the AAMD, D-7800, as required by WBR 1401.7001-3(b) .
WBR 1415.406-3 Documenting the negotiation .
(a) Section II (Price Negotiation Summary) of the format illustrated in WBR 1453.303-1415-2 , Price Negotiation Memorandum shall be used substantially as written (e.g., change Section II(3) to reflect target rather than minimum and maximum objectives if applicable) in order to fulfill the requirements for price negotiation memoranda contained in FAR 15.406-3. A single Price Negotiation Summary may be prepared which contains separate negotiation summaries for each proposal.
(b) When determined necessary by the CO, the Government cost estimate shall be revised by the office which prepared it to reflect any clarifications or changes in the scope of work which were identified during negotiations. The revisions shall be discussed in Section B of the format prescribed in paragraph (a) above.
