  1. Is a DAO 208-10 Checklist for Management Contracted Services required for a no cost contract valued above $100,000.00?
  2. For a mod to increase the maximum contract value of a contract, which authority should be cited? The in-scope change and increase to the contract is a result of ARRA funded work being added to the contract. Should I use an authority related to ARRA? I did not see anything in the FAR unless I overlooked it. Also as I mentioned the change was reviewed by legal and determined to be in-scope and not a cardinal change or anything. Please let me know what feedback or guidance can be provided. Your insights are greatly appreciated.
  3. I had researched and the Cooperative Agreement or Grant would have been the perfect fit as you all suggested. However, I was informed that my agency does not have the authority to do Cooperative Agreements or Grants. Also, the MOU is no longer the way to way to transfer funds. No final decisions have been made as of yet, however, there is talk of putting in place a fixed price contract with economic price adjustments. Does anyone know of good samples out there from other agencies that I could take a look at? Let me know.
  4. Thank you all very much for those responses. I did not hear the mention of Cooperative agreements or grants from the lawyers. I will research further and keep you all posted on what feedback I get receive. Thanks again.
  5. I am new to the WIFCON forum, but I have been reading some of the topics and comments. I wish I joined a long time ago because there is a wealth of experience and expertise that I can appreciate from members of the forum. My question is really related to advance payments. My agency is looking at setting up contracts with local governments for work that we have used MOUs in the past (last 30+ years) as the contract vehicle to perform our required services. Our Legal Counsel Division made the decision that MOUs are no longer the appropriate vehicle to transfer funds to the local governments to perform the work. There are also some Privacy Act issues being discussed that is affecting this decision to use contracts as oppose to MOUs. We also have to get certain FAR clauses waivers and provide an explanation of the clauses to the local government being that those clauses were not used in the MOUs that were in place. Also, it is important to note that by statute, my agency has to have the work performed by these particular local governments. In order to perform the required work, the local governments will need their advance budgets (70-80% of the funds) about 3-4 months prior to beginning the work. It is vitally important that the local governments get the advance payments becauses they have very limited financial and legal resources available to them. How would my agency justify making the advance payments (in such large amounts) to these local governments? I am curious to know have any of you had to deal with a matter such as this before? I appreciate any feedback or comments that are provided.
