Fee & Cost Share
Profit/Fee: Since there is a
cost-share requirement, in accordance with FAR 16.303, Offerors shall not propose any
profit or fee.
Cost Share:
§Offerors
are
required to provide a cost share of at least 20 percent.
§Items
being
proposed for cost share are subject to approval by USDOT. Guidance regarding Subtasks 2.4 and 6.2 :
□Subtask 2.4: The
USDOT will consider, as cost share, costs associated with
demonstrating applications to interested parties.
Such cost may include the costs of any equipment (including RSEs)
and/or vehicles needed to demonstrate the Offeror’s
applications as part of the Showcase (see Task 8).
§b. Subtask 6.2:
□i. If the
Test Conductor is supplying vehicles as part of this task, the cost of those
vehicles (but not the cost of developing the applications
nor the cost of devices within the vehicle on which the applications
run) can be considered cost share for this
contract.
□ii. For
the Test Conductor’s own “other” applications, the cost of
equipment acquisition and installation can be considered
cost share for this contract.
§Cost
share is
not limited to Subtasks 2.4 and 6.2.
§Cost
share may include labor (including driver’s
time), fringe benefits, indirect costs, overhead, other direct costs, travel,
equipment, materials, and services provided by the prime contractor,
subcontractors, or consultants, that are not being funded by another federal source
(unless authorized by statute). All cost share is subject to USDOT approval.
