Multiple and partial Notices to <br />Proceed may be issued on a single Project. <br />Over absorbed Overhead: Over recovery of fixed indirect costs that occurs when a <br />Contractor performs more overall Work than it otherwise would have performed. <br />Overhead <br />In general, Overhead for the purpose of calculating additional compensation under this <br />section of the Contract shall include only those costs that are expended for the <br />administration of the business as a whole. Such costs usually accrue or are incurred due <br />to the passage of time, or cannot be traced to a particular project or contract, or both. <br />Examples of possible Overhead costs include, but are not limited to, General and <br />Administrative salaries and benefits, rent, general company insurance, exclusive of <br />insurance on owned equipment that is directly job costed, depreciation on office <br />facilities, utilities, maintenance, office supplies, general company accounting and legal <br />fees, exclusive of amounts expended directly on any specific project, personal property <br />taxes, general company business licenses, dues and subscriptions. <br />The following costs and expenses are excluded from the definition and calculation of <br />Overhead. Overhead costs that vary substantially with the volume of Work performed, as <br />measured by billings, shall not be included in Overhead for the purpose of determining <br />additional compensation for Extended or Unabsorbed Home Office Overhead, or both. <br />Examples of costs that are not included in Overhead include: travel and business <br />meetings, telephones, professional fees expended for the benefit of a specific project, <br />union welfare benefits, payroll taxes and equipment rental. <br />If related party transactions are included in a Contractor’s Overhead, they must be <br />explicitly identified as related party transactions and must not exceed amounts that <br />would be incurred in an arms-length transaction for the provision of the same or similar <br />goods and services. If such transactions exist and the amounts paid by the Contractor <br />and included in Overhead are in excess of that which would normally be expended in an <br />arms-length transaction, an adjustment, in the form of a reduction in the amount for <br />calculation purposes, must be included in any calculation in determining the amount of <br />Allocable Overhead. <br />Overhead shall not include any cost directly attributable to a particular project. If a cost <br />can be traced to a particular contract, the Contractor may not classify the cost as <br />Overhead. <br />Indirect or home office costs that vary substantially with the amount of Work performed <br />shall not be included in the group of costs comprising Overhead. <br />Overhead shall not include any costs specifically disallowed by Federal Acquisition <br />Regulations, Subpart 31.2 – Contracts with Commercial Organizations, or its successor. <br />Further, “Overhead” shall not include the costs of any “field support services” that are <br />more closely direct costs in nature, regardless of the manner in which the Contractor <br />normally accounts for such costs. An example of such disallowed cost would be for <br />material handling and expediting, which are costs incurred for the direct support and <br />benefit of any specific project(s). <br />In addition to compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulations, Subpart 31.2 examples <br />of specific costs not allowed in a calculation under this Section of the Contract are <br />Incentive Compensation paid to personnel classified as Overhead and otherwise <br />includable under this Section of the Contract, travel and business meetings, employer
