Terms and Conditions Related to Schedule Contract Administration <br />Each order must list separately the fixed amount for the indirect costs <br />and payment schedule; if no indirect costs are approved, insert "None." <br />(2) Total cost. It is estimated that the total cost to the Government for the performance of this <br />contract shall not exceed the ceiling price set forth in the Schedule and the Contractor agrees to <br />use its best efforts to perform the work specified in the Schedule and all obligations under this <br />contract within such ceiling price. If at any time the Contractor has reason to believe that the <br />hourly rate payments and material costs that will accrue in performing this contract in the next <br />succeeding 30 days, if added to all other payments and costs previously accrued, will exceed 85 <br />percent of the ceiling price in the Schedule, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer <br />giving a revised estimate of the total price to the Government for performing this contract with <br />supporting reasons and documentation. If at any time during the performance of this contract, the <br />Contractor has reason to believe that the total price to the Government for performing this <br />contract will be substantially greater or less than the then stated ceiling price, the Contractor shall <br />so notify the Contracting Officer, giving a revised estimate of the total price for performing this <br />contract, with supporting reasons and documentation. If at any time during performance of this <br />contract, the Government has reason to believe that the work to be required in performing this <br />contract will be substantially greater or less than the stated ceiling price, the Contracting Officer <br />will so advise the Contractor, giving the then revised estimate of the total amount of effort to be <br />required under the contract. <br />(3) Ceiling price. The Government will not be obligated to pay the Contractor any amount in <br />excess of the ceiling price in the Schedule, and the Contractor shall not be obligated to continue <br />performance if to do so would exceed the ceiling price set forth in the Schedule, unless and until <br />the Contracting Officer notifies the Contractor in writing that the ceiling price has been increased <br />and specifies in the notice a revised ceiling that shall constitute the ceiling price for performance <br />under this contract. When and to the extent that the ceiling price set forth in the Schedule has <br />been increased, any hours expended and material costs incurred by the Contractor in excess of the <br />ceiling price before the increase shall be allowable to the same extent as if the hours expended <br />and material costs had been incurred after the increase in the ceiling price. <br />(4) Access to records. At any time before final payment under this contract, the Contracting <br />Officer (or authorized representative) will have access to the following (access shall be limited to <br />the listing below unless otherwise agreed to by the Contractor and the Contracting Officer): <br />(i) Records that verify that the employees whose time has been included in any invoice <br />meet the qualifications for the labor categories specified in the contract; <br />(ii) For labor hours (including any subcontractor hours reimbursed at the hourly rate in <br />the schedule), when timecards are required as substantiation for payment <br />(A) The original timecards (paper -based or electronic); <br />(B) The Contractor's timekeeping procedures; <br />(C) Contractor records that show the distribution of labor between jobs or <br />contracts; and <br />(D) Employees whose time has been included in any invoice for the purpose of <br />verifying that these employees have worked the hours shown on the invoices. <br />(iii) For material and subcontract costs that are reimbursed on the basis of actual cost <br />(A) Any invoices or subcontract agreements substantiating material costs; and <br />(B) Any documents supporting payment of those invoices. <br />(5) Overpayments/Underpayments.
