PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACTS

FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Introduction

Florida law requires state agencies to acquire Professional Services by competitive negotiation. The

process mandated by statute (287.055, 337.107 and 337.1075, Florida Statutes), Administrative Rule

(14-75, Florida Administrative Code), and departmental procedures (FDOT 375-030-002) requires a

competitive selection of the consultants based on qualifications, followed by a competitive negotiation

process to establish a fee for the desired services. The objective of the total consultant acquisition

process is the selection of a well-qualified firm at a fee that is fair, competitive and reasonable to both

the state agency and the consultant. Negotiations should be conducted in good faith, recognizing that

compromise may be required to achieve an equitable contract. The Department’s negotiators must

recognize the legitimate interest of the consultant industry in recovering their costs and making a

reasonable profit when performing work for the Department. Conversely, the consultants must

recognize the legitimate interest of the Department in receiving quality work at a fair, competitive and

reasonable cost, to accomplish the work program while maximizing the use of taxpayers’ dollars. A

contract that is beneficial to both parties is the desired outcome of a successful negotiation.

The negotiation portion of the consultant acquisition process consists of establishing agreement between

the Department and the Consultant on the following major points:

1. Scope of services to be performed

2. Work effort required (both quantity and level of personnel required)

3. Cost of services

a. Wage rates

b. Overhead cost

c. FCCM

d. Direct expenses

e. Subconsultant costs

f. Operating margin and contract duration adjustment factor (CDAF)

4. Method of compensation

The following information provides general guidelines for the negotiation process. Although the

various components are described separately, the negotiation process should be approached from a

holistic perspective since scope, work effort and cost are interrelated. The negotiation of one of these

variables might have a significant impact on the other two. Both project management personnel and

professional services staff should be involved in negotiating the contract terms for the Department.

Typically, the project management personnel would assume the lead role in negotiating the scope of

services and staff hour requirements, while professional services would assume the lead with costs and

method of compensation. However, it is strongly recommended that one person have primary

responsibility for the negotiation and participate in all phases of the process.

Negotiation Procedures

1. Fee Proposals

At the completion of final selection, the number one ranked firm should be requested to provide

comments on the scope of services, as well as a detailed staff hour estimate where appropriate, a fee

proposal in standard format, and support for all costs contained in the fee proposal. Attachment A

provides the Department’s Automated Fee Proposal Guidelines.

Florida Statutes specifically require the Department to conduct a detailed analysis of costs for

contracts acquired under the Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act, and the fee proposal must

provide sufficient information to allow this. The fee proposal should be reviewed as well as

supporting information. Any errors, deficiencies, omissions, etc., noted during the review of the fee

proposal by the Professional Services Unit (PSU) will be brought to the attention of the selected

Consultant, and corrected data will be requested immediately.

2. Negotiation of Scope of Services

The final negotiated scope of services should be tailored to ensure a mutual understanding of the

project. During this negotiation process each work activity or milestone should be discussed to

determine how it is to be accomplished, the nature of the deliverable, and its format. If the

consultant's understanding is not in accord with that of the Department, discussions should be

conducted to arrive at a mutual understanding of the services to be accomplished, the method by

which it will be accomplished, and the nature of the final product. Either party to the negotiations

should feel free to request written confirmation in the form of modification of the scope to reflect

agreed-to terms.

The scope of services is one of the major factors affecting the fee for consultant services since it

defines the nature and volume of work to be performed. A well written scope of services establishes

the tasks to be performed, materials to be delivered, meetings to be attended, schedule to be met,

equipment that will be used, standards that will be followed, and responsibilities of both the

consultant and the Department.

The detail established in the scope of services sets the stage for subsequent negotiations. A detailed

and thorough scope of services leads to an understanding of the services needed to complete the

assigned project as well as an understanding of the sequence of tasks to be accomplished. This

allows for informed development of the staff-hour estimates and project fee.

The scope of services should be prepared in standard Department format. A standard scope of

services is available on the Department’s website for project development & environmental studies

(PD&E), highway and bridge/structural design, construction engineering & inspection (CEI), and

district geotechnical and materials testing projects. The standard scope of services should be used,

where practical, however, modifications should be made to reflect the actual agreed-to terms and

requirements for the specific project. This will facilitate preparation and evaluation of staff hour

estimates, and any desired modification of the scope during the negotiation process.

Following are typical major items within the scope of services requiring negotiation:

a. Work activities

b. Deliverables

c. Numbers of and types of meetings, presentations, etc. to be attended or provided

d. Schedule for project services

e. Division of responsibilities and relationship between Consultant and Department

3. Negotiation of Work Effort

The objective of this process is to ensure that the proposed staff hours are reasonable for the specific

project. It is also critical to determine if a reasonable distribution of work among various levels of

staff is proposed to ensure the most economical staffing commensurate with the complexity of the

project.

Upon receipt by the Department of the Consultant's staff hour estimate, the Department's estimate

shall be provided to the consultant. The Consultant's staff hour estimate should be compared with

the Department's and the differences evaluated. Discussions will be conducted with the Consultant

to resolve differences between the Department and consultant staff hour estimates. As with the

entire negotiations process, a record should be kept of the key points discussed and the resulting

resolution.

The basis for an accurate staff hour estimate is a well-developed scope of services. With such a

basis, a series of work activities may be readily identified as staffing elements. Those elements

should be used for both the Department and consultant estimates for ease of reconciliation. The

estimates by both parties should be made in the same standard format. Standard Staff Hour

Estimation forms are available in Excel format for PD&E, highway and bridge/structural design

projects on the Department’s Project Management/Production Support Office website. For PD&E,

highway and bridge/structural design, the Department’s Staff Hour Estimating spreadsheet forms

must be used by both the Department’s project manager and the selected consultant in preparing the

staff hour estimate to facilitate the negotiation process.

The published typical ranges of staff hour effort should be treated as only a beginning point. Each

project must be independently evaluated to determine a fair estimate of required staff hours. The

basis for the estimate should be the specific requirements for the project under consideration together

with a history of actual staff requirements for past projects with similar requirements. Where

specific requirements cannot be identified during the negotiation phase, a limiting amount will be

made to serve as the basis of the contract.

Following are the major items relating to work effort requiring negotiation:

a. Staff hours, overtime, survey crew days, etc.

b. Levels of personnel required

c. Distribution of work among levels of personnel

d. Subconsultants (Quantity of work effort, personnel)

e. Delineation of work to be provided by consultant, the Department, or others

4. Negotiation of Cost of Services

a. Wage rates:

In accordance with Florida Statute, the PSU must perform a cost analysis to ensure the

proposed costs are reasonable, accurate and allowable.

The fee proposal must contain a certification that any direct costs proposed are not included

as overhead in the Consultant's accounting system (Form No. 375-030-39). The certification

should be signed by the Consultant's comptroller, chief financial officer, accountant, or other

appropriate person who is knowledgeable of the Consultant's normal accounting

requirements. At a minimum, the review of the fee proposal by the PSU must include the

following:

(1) Identification of the basis for rates

(a) The wage rates must be certified in writing as being current and accurate by a

responsible company official. The Department will require payroll registers

to confirm the accuracy of the pay rates. The submittal will contain a

certification from a responsible company official that the rates are actual

current rates on that particular date. A payroll register is defined as a record

of pay details for an employee during a specified pay period. The payroll

employee, date, date range, hours (regular and overtime), gross pay,

deductions, taxes withheld, and net pay. A payroll register is not a monthly

projection, payroll forecast, or certified pay rate. Confidential information

may be redacted. When negotiating a new contract, Procurement uses

resumes to validate and confirm employee job classification in accordance

with the Typical Definitions in Attachment B, with the exception of any

CTQP needs. CTQP shall be verified by the FDOT Project Manager. In the

event that a newly hired employee’s payroll register is not yet available, an

official offer letter countersigned by both parties (inclusive of a rate and start

date) shall be provided.

(b) If averages for select employees are used, payroll information of how the

average rate was computed (i.e., straight average, weighted average, etc.)

must be provided. When this is the case, care should be taken that only

employees actually committed to and needed for the project are used in

computing the average.

unit price basis will be required to provide a copy of their standard fee

schedule and attest that the fees contained therein are their normal fees for

such services (whether performed for private or governmental clients). In

addition, identification of the cost basis for such rates (i.e. labor hours and

wage rates, overhead and operating margin, equipment use rates verified by

audit, etc.) should be required where practical. Firms who are compensated

in whole or in part using fee schedule rates will be required to complete a

certification statement during contract negotiations, attesting to full

disclosure of intended use of lower tier subconsultants/subcontractors/sub-

vendors, including use of drilling subs. All lower tiered subconsultants/sub-

contractors/subvendors must be named in the agreement in accordance with

Section 4 of the Standard Professional Services Agreement in order to be

considered an authorized subconsultant/subcontractor/subvendor.

Geotechnical and Material Testing firms shall utilize the Standard Items and

Item Descriptions for Geotechnical and Materials Testing firms identified in

Attachment L when submitting the AFP.

(d) The Department has standardized the material and geotechnical testing rates

(pay items). The listing of the Standard Items and Item Descriptions for

geotechnical and materials testing pay items is available in Attachment L of

the Negotiation Handbook, as previously referenced. Please utilize the

standard numbering convention when proposing geotechnical and materials

testing pay items. In an effort to promote uniformity and consistency during

negotiation of these rates, it shall be the Department’s policy to compensate

firms for geotechnical and materials testing pay items based on the firm’s

submitted pay item rate, up to the mean/average proposed rate for that pay

item, in accordance with the Department’s Table 6 Loaded Rates Report

available on the Procurement Internet site at:

https://www.fdot.gov/procurement/InternetReports.shtm#jobclass

(based on one year of data obtained from the Table 6 Loaded Rates Report

for the District). If there are insufficient data to provide a District average for

a given pay item, the District may utilize the proposed statewide

mean/average as the maximum, for material and geotechnical testing pay

items.

(2) Steps for classifying consultant staff in accordance with standard job classes

Consultants shall adhere to use of the standard job classes in the Negotiation

Handbook when classifying consultant staff, in order to ensure consistency and

uniformity in the establishment of contract rates. During contract negotiations, the

consultant shall propose staff within standard job classes as referenced in the AFP

and Attachment B, and shall submit resumes. The resumes are used by FDOT

Procurement staff to validate and confirm the proposed job classifications.

Procurement reviews the proposed staff within a classification, checking resume

information against the definition in Attachment B. Consultant staff who do not fit

the definition for the job class will need to be reclassified. For purposes of

establishing contract job classes, consultant staff are classified according to the

classification definition provided in the Negotiation Handbook, and are not classified

based on the position or title they may hold within their firm. Standard Job Classes

in the Negotiation Handbook are used for aggregating similar staff based on years of

experience, education, and licensure/certification.

Procurement will use the Negotiation Handbook to correlate proposed consultant

staff to the appropriate classification. The consultant staff-person shall be classified

based on the highest level job class that matches his/her total years of experience,

education, and licensure/certification, in accordance with the FDOT Standard Job

Class definitions. Consultation with Central Office Procurement may be necessary

for classification of consultant staff in positions with limited definitions within the

Negotiation Handbook.

Once proposed consultant staff are properly classified, Procurement will accept the

position contract rate based on actual current salary rates of staff within the position

(as supported by payroll registers). The staffing pool and percentage use of staff

(weighting) within the same job class can be negotiated based on scope and project

needs. Only staff actually committed to and needed for the project are to be used in

computing the contract rate. The 75th percentile shall be used as the benchmark for

CEI job classes on CEI contracts, in accordance with Section (4) of Negotiation

Procedures, FDOT Negotiation Handbook. The 75th percentile for a CEI job class

on a CEI contract may be exceeded due to CEI project complexity. Procurement

does not determine CEI project complexity; this is established by the Construction

Office, District Construction Engineer.

Classifications are established for the prime firm, and for each of the sub firms.

Prime and sub staff are not combined; separate job classes are established for each

separate consultant firm. If a firm does not have staff to fill all necessary positions

required for their activity, Procurement will inform the prime consultant. The

Department will either move forward with the classifications as they are, or as a

point of negotiation, the Department may consider the consultant’s proposal of staff

from other higher classifications that can also perform that function. Since these

staff will not generally fit within the classification, they may be at a wage rate higher

than the range of rates paid for that classification (as supported by the wage rate

data). In such instances, for purposes of negotiating the contract rate used to

establish the consultant fee or to establish contract rates, FDOT will propose the

mean/average for that classification (based on one year of data obtained from the

Consultant Wage Rate Report for the District). Note; this is not a cap of the

consultant’s rates. This scenario sometimes occurs with subs, for example, where a

Principal of a firm is being proposed for multiple classifications including lower

classifications. The individual shall be classified based on the highest job

classification in accordance with their resume and the classification definition their

experience, education, etc., would correlate to within the Standard Job Classes in the

Negotiation Handbook. If the individual is also being proposed in multiple lower job

classes, the Department will need to make a determination whether the individual is

needed to fill those lower job classes. If the FDOT Project Manager agrees that they

are, the Department will offer the mean/average for that classification or the

individual’s actual salary, whichever is lower, to be used for purposes of establishing

the contract rate for a job classification where the individual exceeds the qualification

requirements.

(3) Negotiation of salary rates or compensation

Consultants with audited overhead rates who maintain a published fee schedule but

do not bill exclusively from the schedule must maintain a job cost accounting system

for their hourly services. However, the direct costs of services billed on cost-based

rates or scheduled fees, shall be excluded from the calculation of direct expense

rates. The accounting system description will include assurance of the segregation of

the costs to deliver fee or rate based services from the costs associated with hourly

services. The Basis of Accounting and Description of Accounting System Note

should contain the following text, or text containing the same essential elements:

“The Company maintains a job-order cost accounting system for the recording and

accumulation of costs incurred under its contracts. Direct costs incurred in providing

services billed to clients at unit rates or on the basis of a published fee schedule are

charged by functional accounts and accumulated as a single project or grouping to

allow segregation of such costs from other direct costs. Each project is assigned a job

number so that costs may be segregated and accumulated in the Company’s job-order

cost accounting system.”

A comparison of the actual current salary rates with prevailing rates for the class of

personnel will be performed. The Consultant Wage Rate Report on the Procurement

website provides wage rate statistics for various Consultant staff classifications by

district. The Consultant Wage Rate Report can be accessed at the following link:

http://fdot.gov/procurement/InternetReports.shtm#jobclass

The Consultant Wage Rate Report shall be run and printed on the submittal due date

for the Automated Fee Proposal or the actual date the Automated Fee Proposal is

received by the department, whichever occurs first. If personnel with unusually high

salaries are proposed, the negotiators must determine whether there is sufficient need

for that individual to justify their work on the project at that rate. If there is not a

legitimate need for their expertise, they will not be allowed to bill time on the

project. The Department may negotiate contract rates as averages for employee

classifications.

Arbitrary or across the board limitations on direct salary/wage rates which do not

consider the factors prescribed in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) cost

principles are contrary to the requirements of the Federal Brooks Act, 40 U.S.C.

1104(a)), which requires fair and reasonable compensation considering the scope,

complexity, professional nature, and value of the services to be rendered (as required

in 23 U.S.C. 112(b)(2). Additionally, if limitations or benchmarks on direct salary

rates and total compensation are too low, it could limit the number of firms and the

qualifications of the firms which submit proposals to perform work on projects.

Furthermore, direct labor limitations or benchmarks not supported by the cost

principles create associated disallowed indirect costs which effectively limits the

calculated indirect cost rate, contrary to 23 U.S.C. 112(b)(2)(D) and 23 CFR

172.7(b).

(4) Negotiation of Rates for Construction Engineering Inspection

When negotiating professional services contracts for Construction Engineering

Inspection (CEI), FDOT has established a benchmark, based on the Consultant Wage

Rate Report (link provided in Attachment C). This database of wage rate

information is provided by employee classification, and by geographic location

(district).

For purposes of negotiating CEI consultant personnel direct salaries by job

classification, FDOT will analyze the experience and quality of the individual

proposed for rate determination and use the appropriate district 75

percentile by job

classification (i.e., upper quartile) as the maximum limit, based on one year history

of actual unloaded rates. Where there are multiple staff proposed in a single

classification, the 75

percentile should be applied to the weighted average or the

straight average, as applicable. However, the 75

percentile may be exceeded when

warranted by project complexity. When the 75th percentile is exceeded, it will only

be for the select position(s) that warrant such an increase, as determined by the

assigned Construction Office. A complex CEI project is defined as one that has

numerous complicated traffic phases, involves highly technical construction features

requiring specialized skills of the inspection staff. A complex project may also

include complex involvement by multiple third parties (i.e., multiple utility

relocations, railroads, airports, regulatory agencies, municipalities). The size of the

project will not necessarily determine whether the construction project is complex.

Large, repetitive projects on their own are not considered complex. The project

complexity and essential staff requirements shall be addressed by the Department’s

representative and/or the Technical Review Committee at the Consultant marketing

meetings, the pre-proposal meeting, and the project scoping meeting held after the #1

ranked consultant is selected. For purposes of assessing the 75th percentile values

during contract negotiation, the Wage Rate Report shall be run and printed on the

submittal due date for the Automated Fee Proposal. In some cases, the Consultant

and Department may agree to review and use other geographic data (other District or

Statewide wage rate data,) due to limited or an absence of data for a particular

classification in the project District report. This determination shall occur at the

project scoping meeting after final selection. The Construction Office will also

finalize the determination of essential positions, if any, that warrant an exception to

the 75th percentile at the project scoping meeting.

(5) Survey crew rates on Professional Service contracts shall be comprised of the

following:

SUR 4-Person Survey Crew

SUR Crew Chief

SUR Instrument Operator

SUR Rod Person

SUR 3-person Survey Crew

SUR Crew Chief

SUR Instrument Operator

SUR Rod Person

SUR 2-Person Survey Crew

SUR Crew Chief

SUR Instrument Operator

Any deviations from standard Survey Crew composition must be approved in

writing by the District Surveyor.

b. Overhead:

(1) If the Consultant is prequalified at the unlimited level with the Department, a copy of

the Procurement Office's prequalification letter with the approved overhead rate

should be included in the fee proposal. Audited overhead rates are not negotiated.

The Consultant's actual approved overhead rate as reflected in the letter of approval

or in the Professional Services Information System will be used. If the Consultant

voluntarily proposes to use a lower overhead rate than the current audit in order to

keep overall project costs competitive, the Department may accept the lower

overhead. The use of a lower overhead rate will not be a requirement for contracting.

The average overhead rates for both home office and field office overhead are

included in Attachment D. These average overhead rates are provided for

comparison purposes. They are one of the tools the Department’s negotiators may

use to determine the competitiveness of the overall costs proposed. The submission

of an updated overhead audit after the end of the Consultant’s fiscal year is required

as part of the prequalification renewal process.

(2) If the proposed project requires the establishment of a field office, a separate

overhead rate for the field office must be submitted. If the Consultant does not have

an approved field office overhead rate which has been established through the

prequalification process, a field office overhead rate will be prepared by the

Consultant in accordance with the instructions contained in Chapter 5.6 of the

AASHTO Uniform Audit and Accounting Guide (see Table 5-6, page 42), available

on the Procurement Office website.

(3) If the majority of the Consultant staff’s time (i.e., greater than 20 hours per week on

average) are anticipated to be at Department facilities, the field rate should be used.

If the majority of the Consultant staff’s time (i.e., greater than 20 hours per week on

average) are anticipated to be at the home office, then the home office rates should be

used.

(4) For contracts with fees less than $500,000, the Department is authorized to contract

with firms without an audited overhead rate. The Consultant must provide a self-

certified overhead determination in the standard format provided in Attachment E for

review by the Rate Review Auditor in Central Office Procurement. The average

overhead rates provided in Attachment D will be used as caps on maximum awarded

overhead (indirect costs) rates for firms who submit unaudited rates, including

interim reimbursement rates, self-certified reimbursement rates, and job cost

accounting system review reimbursement rates for use on professional services

contracts.

c. Direct expenses:

Direct project expenses will be compensated using the direct expense rate which is required

as a part of annual overhead audits performed for fiscal years ending December 31, 2002 and

after. All professional services contracts negotiated since October 1, 2003 have included

reimbursement of direct expenses by application of a direct expense rate based on the audit

listing of direct costs in relation to the direct labor base. Separate audited rates are required

for home office expenses and field office expenses. These rates represent the ratio of direct

expenses to actual direct labor excluding premium overtime. Field office set up,

mobilization, de-mobilization, rent, and utilities costs are excluded from the audited field

office direct expense rate in the audit submittal. The Department will reimburse the costs of

field office set up, mobilization, de-mobilization, rent, and utility costs as a direct project

cost on the contract rather than through the field office direct expense percentage, provided

the aforementioned costs are documented by appropriate receipts. Utility costs to be

reimbursed as a direct project cost are: electricity, water, natural gas, sewer, internet service,

trash pick-up, and hook-up fees associated with the aforementioned utilities. Field office

set-up/mobilization and de-mobilization charges involved with transporting the trailer to and

from the job site may also be reimbursed. Utility costs associated with phone services will

not be reimbursed as a direct project charge. Charges for furniture, supplies, insurance,

cleaning, and equipment (including fax, copier, computer, and phone equipment), and all

phone services are included in the direct expense percentage and are not compensated as an

itemized expense directly on the contract. Of course, if the field office is provided through

the construction contract or by the Department on another contract, the Consultant does not

incur rent or utilities costs, so they cannot be invoiced or booked. There should normally be

no other direct expense compensation. The only exceptions to this would be unusual and

infrequently occurring items that cost in excess of $10,000. When such items are

compensated separately from the direct expense rate, they must be excluded from the direct

expense pool used to calculate the direct expense rate. When Consultants propose such

items, the negotiator will discuss this with the Central Office Procurement prior to accepting

it.

If the Consultant does not have a current approved direct expense rate, an expense rate may

be presented by the Consultant to be reviewed by the Procurement Office, for approval. For

Non-Professional Services Consultants that do not have an approved direct expense rate,

sufficient documentation must be provided to support the basis for all expenses contained in

the price proposal. Written quotes from vendors, invoices reflecting prices paid on previous

purchases, copies of catalog pages, etc., may be used as support for the proposed prices.

As a general rule, the method of acquisition for any capital asset (item costing $1,000 or

more and having a life expectancy of 1 year or more) will be determined through the use of a

lease versus purchase analysis. A copy of the analysis will be included in the fee proposal.

A reasonable allowance for salvage value of the items, based on the term of the project, must

be provided for the purpose of such items.

Acquisition of tangible capital assets for Department ownership through service contracts is

normally not acceptable. The requirements of Rule 60A-1.017, F.A.C., must be considered

when this is necessary. Property acquired as part of a service contract must be handled in

accordance with Procedure No. 350-090-010, Tangible Personal Property Procedure.

Unit rates used to compute travel costs may not exceed those authorized for State employee

travel in accordance with Section 112.061, F.S.. Air fare must be based on coach rates with

reasonable advance purchase and costs for rental cars must be based on the use of compact

cars, unless otherwise justified and approved by the Department. Mileage for private vehicles

must be at the state rate. Firms with an audited direct expense rate will not be reimbursed

directly on a contract for travel costs. Travel expenses will be reimbursed through the direct

expense percentage.

d. Subconsultant/Subcontractor/Sub-vendor Costs:

Subconsultant/subcontractor/sub-vendor costs must be specifically identified in the price

proposal and supported in a manner that will allow the contracting office to make a

determination that the proposed costs are fair, reasonable and competitive. Intended use of

all lower tier subs, must be disclosed during contract negotiations, regardless of tier level.

Unauthorized subs are not in accordance with the Standard Professional Services Agreement,

Section 7A, which states: “The Consultant..will not sublet, assign, or transfer any work

under this Agreement to other than subconsultants specified in the Agreement without the

written consent of the Department.” Subs will require submittal of the same type of data as

required for the prime Consultant. This includes support for wage rates, rates per unit of

work, direct expense rates and overhead rates. Subconsultants technically qualified in a

standard work type are required to submit an overhead audit prepared by an independent

CPA if their fees on a single contract are $500,000 or greater. If the subconsultant fee is less

than $500,000, a self-certified overhead statement certified by a principal of the

subconsultant firm must be completed on the Self-Certification of Accounting System and

Reimbursement Rates, Form No. 375-030-51 (Attachment E). These overhead statements

must be sent to Central Office for review and approval. The Department shall ensure that

the rates for non-technically qualified or non-professional services firms utilized on

professional services contracts are fair, reasonable and competitive. The Procurement Office

will negotiate rates for these firms in accordance with the following methodologies (in order

of usage):

1. Non-technically qualified firms or non-professional services firms will submit the

Simplified Self-Certification for Non-Professional Services Firms, Form No. 375-

030-92 (Attachment M). Adequate support must be provided with the form when

submitted, as specified in the Form, including pay roll registers or evidence of draws.

Copies of approved self-certified overhead rates for non-prequalified or non-

professional services firms will be maintained by Central Office Procurement.

2. Prime consultants shall request at least two quotes and will utilize the lowest rates.

This is to be used for court reporters; title search and associated document prep

activities; corrosion inspection and testing; drivers and flaggers for non-professional

service firms; and aerial photography.

3. Procurement staff will utilize available comparable salary survey information for

labor rates to negotiate a reasonable rate.

4. Rates supported by competitively procured contractual services contracts where price

was a factor in selection (FDOT “B” contracts), can be used. (support of best value).

The prime consultant should not receive overhead and operating margin for

subconsultant/subcontractor/sub-vendor services. Subconsultant/subcontractor/sub-vendor

fees are pass-through costs, and cannot include administrative mark-up. See Attachment I

for guidance on this issue.

5. Negotiation of Operating Margin plus Contract Duration Adjustment Factor

The operating margin which is paid in a Consultant contract does not represent net profit to the

Consultant. Operating Margin is intended to compensate the Consultants for normal business

expenses that are excluded from allowable overhead by Federal Regulation (e.g., interest,

advertising, bad debts, unrecovered direct costs, etc.). These legitimate costs cannot be recovered

on Department contracts except through operating margin. Operating margin compensates the

Consultant with a reasonable fee. Consultant operating margin also absorbs the loss when the

reimbursed salary is less than the actual salary for a given contract.

Operating margin in Department contracts is calculated as a percentage of direct salaries. The

percentage is negotiated within a range of 12 to 42 %. The resulting dollar amount is the “fixed fee”

portion of a cost plus fixed fee type contract or becomes part of the total fixed price in a lump sum

agreement, or part of the fully loaded billing rate.

The operating margin is negotiated based on the complexity of the project, the degree of financial

risk assumed by the Consultant, the project schedule and Consultant cost controls. The following

Operating Margin Guidelines table provides direction on how these factors should be weighted and

considered.

The table is only a guide, not a fixed formula, for negotiating operating margin. There is a large

variation in operating margins with the range to account for the wide spectrum of cost control by

various Consultants that conduct business with the Department. There will be significant variation

in operating margin from contract to contract. Negotiators SHALL NOT use a standard operating

margin for all contracts.

The table summarizes how these factors should be weighted and considered in developing the cost

control portion of the operating margin for each individual contract. For cost control efforts, a

formula should NOT be used to calculate the percentage to be applied.

The factors to be considered in negotiating the cost control efforts shall include:

 Burdened salary rates by classification, inclusive of overhead, expense percentage and

Facilities Capital Cost of Money (FCCM) only (reference partially loaded actual rates from

the Consultant Wage Averages Report);

 Specific services requiring specialized staff, qualifications of proposed team;

 Reasonableness of the proposed distribution of staffing for the project;

 Burdened salaries by geographic region;

 For CEI contracts, if the firm has audited Overhead or Direct Expense percentages that

include Premium Overtime (reimbursed) or firms where the Premium Overtime is

reimbursed directly on the contract (excluded);

 Other items specific to the contract being negotiated.

It is possible for negotiators to negotiate operating margins outside of the range for special

circumstances on a contract. For example, if overhead rates, direct expense rates or salaries are

significantly above (or below) the normal range, operating margins below (or above) the ranges may

be negotiated. Other factors that impact the cost/benefit to the Department and/or Consultant may

also be considered.

The operating margin, overhead rate and direct expense rate may not be applied to the premium

portion of overtime costs. Operating margin and overhead are not allowed on direct expenses or

subconsultant expenses.

The fee proposal must include a justification for the proposed operating margin.

The Operating Margin Guidelines table summarizes the ranges that are to be used as a guide in negotiating

the operating margin for each contract.

Operating Margin Dos and Don’ts

The following additional guidance is provided for negotiation of operating margin:

Dos

a) Every consultant firm should be considered separately on a given contract when negotiating

operating margin.

b) Mitigating circumstances or other factors that affect the project may be considered when

awarding operating margin.

c) Remember to practice mutual gains and consider value.

d) Remember that negotiation is not personal.

e) Be flexible and open to considering the other side’s point of view.

f) If the conditions warrant, the maximum in operating margin can be awarded.

g) Look at each element separately.

h) Be fair.

i) Parties to the negotiation should share their rationale for proposed operating margin with the

other party. Listen to counter-points of view.

j) Operating margin can be an incentive.

k) All parties to the contract should have a role in establishing operating margin.

l) The same cost principles which are used in negotiating the prime consultant’s fee should also be

applied to the subs.

m) Operating Margin can be different for the prime and subs, depending on the degree of risk and

complexity of the services performed by the firm.

Don’ts

a) Operating margin determination should not be fixed formula.

b) Fixed values should not be assigned on the basis of work discipline or project type (i.e., design,

CEI, planning, etc.)

c) Subconsultants should not be capped at the prime’s multiplier (note: multiplier is inclusive of

overhead, direct expense, FCCM, and operating margin).

d) The operating margin awarded to a consultant firm on a previous contract should not be a factor

in the current negotiation effort.

e) Operating margin awarded to a given consultant should not be a fixed amount based solely on

audited overhead data (i.e., for every contract Consultant Firm XYZ gets this year, they will get

X% for cost control or XX% for operating margin)

f) Don’t let a small variance in operating margin between negotiating parties cause a breakdown in

the negotiations process.

g) Don’t paint yourself into a corner with absolutes. Don’t hold positions based on “that’s the way

it’s always been done”.

h) Don’t employ a “Take it or Leave it” strategy. Rigid positions damage relationships.

i) Operating margin is negotiated within a range of 12 to 42%, without an arbitrary cap within a

district.

j) Don’t exclude important information. Listen and be willing to consider other opinions.

k) Don’t negotiate raw labor rates. Consider the fully loaded rates, since this will determine the real

cost of services on the project.

Contract Duration Adjustment Factor

For contracts of longer duration (reference table below), the Department shall allow a Contract Duration

Adjustment Factor (CDAF). CDAF is defined as an economic price adjustment, necessitated by

instability of labor costs for an extended period of contract performance (Reference 48 CFR Section

16.203). CDAF is not negotiated, but shall be a fixed number of points based on the overall anticipated

length of contract (project schedule). CDAF points shall be allocated by the Department as follows:

CDAF Points applied to direct labor

Anticipated Length of Contract CDAF Points

12 months

24 months

36 months

48 months

4.5

60 months

5.5

a) For new contracts, CDAF is applied beginning with the first labor hour incurred.

b) CDAF shall only be applicable for contracts selected (contract final ranking) on or after

November 1, 2014.

c) In the event a contract selected on or after November 1, 2014 is extended (time extension) by six

or more months, CDAF shall be applied prospectively to the extended/remaining services only,

in accordance with the table shown above.

d) CDAF shall not be applied to contracts selected before November 1, 2014, nor contract

amendments/time extensions for contracts selected before November 1, 2014.

e) For calculation purposes, CDAF shall be added to operating margin and applied to unloaded

direct salaries.

f) CDAF is applicable only to consultant firms who are awarded operating margin points.

Please see the following link for examples of application of CDAF.

For calculation purposes, CDAF shall be added to Operating Margin and applied to direct salaries:

Operating Margin Criteria Plus CDAF

Operating Margin Criteria Range

Project Complexity

5% to 7%

Degree of Risk (Financial)

3% to 5%

Total Operating Margin Points

12% to 42%

CDAF Points

0% to 5.5%

Operating Margin plus CDAF

12% to 47.5%

6. Negotiation of Method of Compensation

Discussions should be conducted with the selected consultant regarding the Method of

Compensation. Under Departmental procedures, lump sum compensation elements may be used

where the scope of services is well defined and the level of effort can be reasonably predicted. In

addition, consideration must be given to requirements imposed by Federal Highway Administration

(FHWA) for federally funded projects. The following standard methods of compensation will be

used.

LUMP SUM: A firm fixed price not subject to adjustment due to the actual cost experience of

the Consultant in the performance of the contract. This places the maximum risk on the

Consultant and provides motivation for efficient cost management to maximize profits. It also

minimizes the Department's time in contract administration. It is the recommended method of

compensation when the scope of services is well defined and the level of effort can be reasonably

predicted. The Department shall utilize the lump sum method of payment for design services,

where appropriate. The use of lump sum contracts for CEI work is prohibited unless the "extent,

scope, complexity, character and duration of the work" have been established.

COST REIMBURSEMENT: The Consultant is reimbursed the actual costs incurred in the

performance of the contract. A "maximum limiting amount" is normally established to cap the

amount the Department will pay for the services. This method is used when the services are so

vague or complex that the level of effort or expenditure cannot be estimated with reasonable

accuracy.

COST PER UNIT OF WORK: A negotiated unit rate for a repetitive task or deliverable product

is established and paid for each unit produced. The unit rate is not subject to adjustment. A

maximum limiting amount is normally established based on the estimated number of units

required. This method is frequently used for geotechnical services, lab tests, soil explorations,

bridge inspections, etc.

SPECIFIC RATES OF COMPENSATION: Rates are established for units of time, usually per

hour. These rates normally include wages, overhead, estimated expenses and operating margin.

A maximum limiting amount is normally established. FHWA has approved use of specific

rates of compensation (i.e., fully loaded billing rates) for all types of maximum limiting amount

contracts, with the exception of project specific design contracts.

The Department will continue to utilize the lump sum method of payment or maximum limiting

amount with fixed fee for basic design services on a project specific design contract, where

appropriate. On project specific design contracts, ancillary minor services such as geotechnical

services, surveying and mapping, landscape architecture, etc., may utilize specific rates of

compensation payment method (fully loaded billing rates).

7. Documentation of Negotiations

During the entire negotiation process, a summary or taped record of the resolution of all decisions

between the Consultant and the Department will be kept and will be filed with the official agreement

records in the PSU.

Final negotiations will reconcile any variances in work effort from that previously negotiated and

established the compensation to be paid the Consultant for the services to be rendered. The results

of all negotiations with the Consultant must be documented in writing and made a part of the

permanent project file.

8. Termination of Negotiations

Compensation will be negotiated within the limits established by State and Federal law, rules and

regulations, whichever is more restrictive. The negotiated compensation will be in an amount the

Department determines is fair, competitive, and reasonable considering the scope and complexity of

the project.

Should the Department be unable to resolve differences in the considered data or negotiate a fair and

reasonable fee for the services, as determined by the Department, the Department will terminate

negotiations with the consultant and provide written notice of termination to the consultant. The

Department will then initiate negotiations with the Consultant previously ranked second by the

Department’s Selection Committee.

Should the Department be unable to negotiate an agreement with the second ranked Consultant, the

aforementioned procedure will be initiated with the third ranked Consultant. Should the Department

be unable to negotiate a satisfactory agreement with any of the selected Consultants, the Department

will select additional Consultants in order of their competence and qualification and continue

negotiations in accordance with these procedures until an agreement is reached, or initiate a new

selection process in accordance with this procedure.

The decision to terminate negotiations is a business decision the Department makes and it should not

cause the consultant to be viewed negatively or in any way impact their opportunity for future

selections.

9. Contract Modifications

a. Amendments:

Contract Amendments may be used to increase or decrease total contract fees, where

warranted by scope changes. When this occurs, a negotiation process very similar to that

involved with the original agreement is required. The Department prepares a scope of

services and an independent staff hour estimate; a staff hour estimate and fee proposal is

requested from the Consultant; and negotiations are conducted to establish a fair and

competitive fee. For most supplemental amendments, the wage rates and multipliers have

been established in the original agreement. Therefore, negotiations are usually limited to

establishing staff hour quantities and direct expenses. Guidelines for the negotiation of

original agreements should be applied to supplemental agreements.

b. Rate Adjustments to Professional Services Consultant Contracts

Wage rate adjustments are appropriate for the following scenarios on consultant contracts:

 Pulling plans off the shelf to revisit and revise or take to completion/plans update

amendment (Rate adjustments are only applicable to contract services beyond the

fifth year).

 Changing from design to post design (Rate adjustments are only applicable to

contract services beyond the fifth year).

 Time extensions that extend contracts beyond the fifth year (Five years is the typical

service term of a professional services contract. Rate adjustments are only applicable

to contract services beyond the fifth year).

 Additional services added to a contract (Rate adjustments only applicable to contract

services beyond the fifth year).

To address the aforementioned scenarios, rate adjustments may occur, but shall comport to

the following:

If it is known that the contract time will extend beyond five years, the contract services

projected beyond the fifth year are eligible for rate adjustment. The consultant firm would be

allowed to submit new certified rate information as of the timeframe when the contract

supplemental (or future time extension) is drafted, to update wage rates for the services

projected beyond the fifth year. Contract multipliers may also be adjusted for the

aforementioned services beyond the fifth year, including overhead rate, Facilities Capital

Cost of Money (FCCM), direct expense rate, and operating margin. The contract multipliers

would reflect the audit package information available at the time the contract supplemental

(or future time extension) is drafted.

When new staff are added on a contract to perform different services due to phase changes

within the same contract (from Project Development & Environmental Studies to Design), it

is appropriate for the consultant firm to utilize current wage rate information for consultant

staff performing services under the new phase.

c. Task Work Orders:

For task assignment type contracts, the original agreement typically establishes unit wage

rates. As each work assignment is developed, a fee for that assignment is negotiated.

Therefore, procedures identical to those for supplemental amendments are followed for task

work orders.

d. Work Stoppages:

In the event that a project is stopped or suspended by the Department, a reasonable period

should be allowed for the Consultant to close out the project. Costs associated with such a

close out should be negotiated with the Consultant when warranted.

10. Eligible Job Reclassifications

A consultant staff-person may be promoted into a higher classification on the contract subject to the

following: 1) the staff-person has been on the contract actively performing work and billing under a

lower classification for at least one or more years; 2) the FDOT Project Manager has a need for the

staff-person to perform more complex duties at the higher-level classification; and 3) there is

sufficient budget on the contract to allow for compensating the staff-person at the higher-level

classification without reducing overall contract services.

A consultant staff-person may be promoted into a higher-level position that has become vacant on

the contract subject to the following: 1) the FDOT Project Manager has a need for the staff-person to

perform more complex duties at the higher-level classification; and 2) there is sufficient budget on

the contract to allow for compensating the staff-person at the higher-level classification without

reducing overall contract services. Proposed replacement staff for the vacant position must meet the

higher level job classification requirements.

A consultant staff-person that receives an EI, PE, PSM, RA, PLA, or other recognizable professional

licensure/professional board certification while on the contract may be promoted to a higher level

classification on the contract as a result of their newly received professional licensure/professional

board certification, provided: 1) the FDOT Project Manager has a need for the staff-person to

perform more complex duties at the higher-level classification that requires a professional

license/professional board certification; 2) there is sufficient budget on the contract to allow for

compensating the staff-person at the higher-level classification without reducing overall contract

services.

The average overhead, expense, and FCCM rates are to be used for comparatively assessing consultant

MEMORANDUM

DATE: February 18, 2014

TO: Professional Services Administrators

FROM: Carla Perry, P.E., Manager, Procurement Office

SUBJECT: Overhead Rates for Subconsultants on Construction Engineering & Inspection (CEI) Projects

There have been some questions regarding the appropriate overhead rate which should be allowed

for subconsultants who are working on CEI. projects. Currently, some negotiators are allowing

the subconsultant (who may be furnishing administrative personnel for the field office and/or

technical personnel for field operations) to charge an audited or negotiated field office overhead

rate whereas other negotiators are restricting the subconsultant to fringe benefits and minimal

general overhead. The differences in methodology have created problems for the subconsultants,

especially when they move from District to District or even from job to job within the same

District.

Although I believe the District should have the flexibility to negotiate in a manner that affords

them a fair, reasonable and competitive price, I also believe that consistency in our negotiations- is

important. The contractual arrangements between the prime consultant and the subconsultant are

the responsibility of the prime; however, their arrangement does impact on the cost of our project

and it is up to us to determine an acceptable price.

The same cost principles which are used in negotiating the prime consultant’s fee should also be

applied to the subconsultant. If the subconsultant is providing personnel which would otherwise

be provided by the prime and for which the prime would be allowed to charge a full field office

overhead rate, then the subconsultant should also be allowed a field office overhead rate which is

computed on a comparable basis. The- subconsultant's overhead rate is computed on a direct

labor basis just the same as the prime consultant and to not allow him to recover his allowable

overhead would unjustly penalize him.

There may be instances where the subconsultant's overhead should be restricted. For example,

assume that the subconsultant proposes to provide a secretary for a field office, but in lieu of

assigning one of his employees to the job, he hires a temporary person on a contractual

arrangement for the job. Since the person is not a bonafide employee of the subconsultant, he

would not be entitled to any overhead for the employee.

We generally have an audited overhead rate and verification of the adequacy of the prime

consultant's accounting system prior to selection, for a particular project. This information is-used

during the negotiations process to help us obtain a fair, reasonable and competitive price;

however, this same information may not be available for the subconsu1tant due to the lack of

prequalification requirements. Subconsultants should be handled in the following manner:

1. Proposed costs less than $500,000: The negotiating officer should require that the

subconsultant provide documentation which will support all costs which are proposed.

An independent overhead audit is not required, unless desired by the negotiating officer;

however, the subconsultant should be required to provide some type of documentation,

i.e., a trial balance, self-certification statement, etc, which will support the reasonableness

of the proposed overhead rate.

The purpose of this memorandum is to provide additional guidance in the above areas; however, if

you should have any questions, please contact the Procurement Office.

TO: All Professional Services Consultants qualified with the Florida Department of Transportation

The Department of Transportation has established the following treatment for reimbursement of

permit costs: Permit costs on professional services costs shall be reimbursed as a separate direct

charge on the contract, rather than through the direct expense percentage submitted annually as part of

the reimbursement rate audit.

Consultants will need to exclude all permits costs (permit application fees) from the calculated direct

expense percentage in the annual reimbursement rate audit submittal. Charges for legal notices, other

costs that are ancillary to the permit, or certifications costs (such as LEED fees) are reimbursed

through the direct expense percentage and will not be compensated as an itemized expense directly on

the contract. This method of reimbursing permit costs does not apply to contracts executed before

November 2013. For purposes of reimbursement on the contract, the Department will require invoices

and/or receipts to substantiate the aforementioned permit costs.

Generally, no other direct expenses will be invoiced as separate items. Other direct expense costs will

continue to be compensated through the direct expense percentage.

Consultants should forward this document to their independent CPA who prepares the annual audit.

If there are any questions, please contact Jeffrey Owens, CPA, at (850) 414-4539.

Sincerely,

Carla M. Perry, P.E., Manager

Use of Department Space and Equipment

by Outside Providers

H - 2

Subject: Use of Department Space and Equipment by Outside Providers

It is the objective of the Florida Department of Transportation to enhance productivity by

making the most cost-effective use of its resources. Professional Consultants and other

service providers are a significant resource to the Department and it is the policy of the

Department to be innovative in the use of this resource to increase effectiveness while

controlling costs.

As part of the effort to achieve this objective, the Department may allow consultants and other

service providers to share Department office space for the contract duration. Before allowing

such use, the following conditions must exist:

It must clearly enhance the productivity of the consultant in performing the scope of

services or require daily interaction with Department staff to effectively perform their

duties. This would not usually be true of consultants working on a phase of a

transportation project (Planning, Design, Right of Way, Construction, Maintenance). It

may be true of consultants performing management or administrative support functions

such as general consultants, systems consultants, or accounting and auditing

consultants.

The decision to provide Department space to the consultant should be made prior to

contracting so that consideration may be given to offsetting the cost of the consultant

services with the value of the space provided. This would occur during the competitive

negotiations of a professional services contract. For services acquired pursuant to

sealed competitive bids or proposals, the request for proposal or invitation to bid

should clearly identify the availability of Department space so that it may be factored

into the bid price by the proposer.

Consultants housed in Department space may only work on the Department project

requiring their presence. Other non-project activities, such as marketing, are

prohibited.

Consultant staff working in Department space should, whenever possible, use available Department

office equipment (furniture, computer hardware and software, copiers, etc.). Department equipment,

which will be made available for consultant use on the project, should be identified prior to

contracting, to allow the Department to realize maximum cost benefit in negotiated or bid prices.

When Department equipment is not available, consideration may be given to allowing the consultant

to bring their own equipment into Department space for use on the project, if it is essential to the

effective performance of the contracted services. All applicable Department policies, procedures,

standards and guidelines concerning consultant owned equipment, including data processing

equipment and software, must be adhered to by the consultant.

Administrative Add Ons for Subconsultant Costs

I - 2

Subject: Administrative Add On Charges to Consultant Contracts

There have been past contracts between the Department and consultants which have allowed an

administrative add on charge for the handling of subconsultants by the prime contractor in addition to the

overhead, labor, and operating margin which are a normal part of the contract. These administrative

fees, or whatever name they are proposed under, are charges which the consultant is already being

reimbursed for through his overhead and operating margin portion of the contract.

When the Department enters into a contract with a consultant, we agree to pay the consultant for his

labor, administrative overhead (which includes the operation cost of his home, branch, or field offices)

plus an operating margin on his labor and overhead costs. In addition we also reimburse the consultant

for any out of pocket expenses on a dollar for dollar basis. These additional expenses includes

subconsultants. When the Department allows the consultant to include an additional administrative add

on for the handling of subconsultants, we are actually allowing the consultant to bill us twice for what we

are already paying him for in our reimbursement for labor, overhead, and operating margin. The same

people who process the subconsultant paper work for the prime consultant are either being directly

reimbursed as part of the direct labor, or their salary and expense cost are part of their overhead.

In order to prevent this from continuing, we suggest that any additional administrative add ons contained

in a contract over and above the overhead, operating margin, and facilities capital cost of money be

disallowed.

Attachment J

Certification of Use of Subs and all Lower Tier Subs

Subject: FDOT REQUIREMENT FOR DISCLOSURE OF LOWER TIER SUBS

In light of recent attention from Federal Highway Administration regarding contractor certification of

costs, the Department feels it is necessary to re-emphasize a contractual requirement which was first

disseminated to all FDOT prequalified geotechnical firms in 2007.

All professional services consultant firms, including geotechnical firms, are required to disclose the

intended use of lower tier subs during contract negotiations. Lower tier subs, including drilling firms,

must be authorized in the FDOT contract prior to services being rendered. It is not appropriate for

geotech firms to certify rates as their own that are attributable to lower tier subs, or reflect a blending of

the geotech firm’s rates with lower tier drilling sub rates. Subconsultant/subcontractor rates are stand-

alone, and each subconsultant/subcontractor should be separately authorized in the contract, regardless

of tiered status. Unauthorized subs are not in accordance with FDOT Standard Professional Services

Agreement, Section 7A, which states: “The Consultant... will not sublet, assign, or transfer any work

under this Agreement to other than subconsultants specified in the Agreement without the written

consent of the Department.”

If uncovered in a contract audit, costs associated with unauthorized subconsultants/subcontractors would

constitute an audit finding, and may ultimately be disallowed.

In order to ensure compliance with this disclosure requirement, the FDOT district Professional Services

Offices will begin use of a certification statement, attesting to disclosure of all lower tier subs.

This certification will be required for geotechnical firms and surveying & mapping firms who are

compensated in whole or part using fee schedule rates on FDOT contracts, whether at a prime or

subconsultant level. The certification form will be completed and submitted during contract

negotiations.

Please contact the Procurement Office, if there are any questions.

Attachment K

Use of Field Office Rates for On-Premises Consultant Employees

K-2

Subject: Use of Field Office Rate for On-premises Consultant Employees

Projects involving consultant staff housed in FDOT facilities for an uninterrupted on-site project

duration of 6 months or greater will utilize the field office overhead rate.

Field Office Overhead Rate:

Field office is defined as any office that the consultant or contractor specifically establishes or has

furnished to them at or near the project site to be used exclusively for project purposes. The office may

be a trailer, building, room or series of rooms, or workspace (cubicle, office, etc.) within any DOT

owned or leased building, for the use of consultant personnel. If the proposed project requires the

establishment of a field office, a separate overhead rate for the field office must be submitted. If the

Consultant does not have an approved field office overhead rate which has been established through the

prequalification process, a field office overhead rate should be prepared by the Consultant in accordance

with the instructions contained in Chapter 5.6 of the AASHTO Uniform Audit & Accounting Guide (see

Table 5-5 ).

Use of Field Office for non-CEI type projects: For contract negotiation purposes, a field office rate

(labor and expenses) shall be applied when consultant staff is assigned in Department space for a

minimum of six consecutive months. If the proposed project involves the use of DOT office space or

equipment by consultants, Attachment H, shall be observed.

Please contact the Procurement Office, if there are any questions.

Guidelines for Preliminary Engineering (PE) Acceleration

N-1

PE Acceleration is a tool available for limited use on Department engineering projects. As an ongoing initiative,

the Department may consider opportunities where appropriate to accelerate production on engineering

projects, for the purpose of building up the Department’s plans shelf (advanced production) or to accelerate the

construction phase of a project. The District shall perform a cost vs. benefit analysis to assess the

appropriateness of acceleration. Acceleration requests must be approved by the Chief Engineer or the Assistant

Secretary for Engineering and Operations.

In order to ensure that Districts are consistent, predictable, and repeatable when negotiating consultant

compensation for acceleration opportunities, the following guidelines are provided:

1. Consultants shall be compensated for time acceleration of projects through the contract operating

margin. Operating margin shall be negotiated for the basic services using the standard ranges

established in the Negotiation Handbook for the factors of schedule, risk, complexity, and cost control.

Once the operating margin percentage is agreed upon, the points allocated for schedule and risk for

basic services may then be doubled. These percentages are applied to direct salaries. By necessity,

operating margin will be capped for federally funded projects. The increase in operating margin shall be

applied to the full work effort. (Note: If the work effort is over 50% completed, contact Central Office

before proceeding.)

2. The prime consultant and all subconsultants with audited overhead rates or self-certified overhead rates

that are awarded operating margin (and whose services will be accelerated) will be eligible for increased

operating margin (doubling of risk and schedule points awarded).

3. To address FHWA’s fixed fee limitations, the Department will cap operating margin total compensation

at 15% of total direct and indirect costs (equivalent to 42% operating margin applied to direct salaries)

for federally funded projects.

4. For unusual or complex projects that include the accelerated effort, additional hours may be negotiated

for coordination, oversight and management activities, when warranted and granted as an exception by

Central Office.

5. Procurement will refer to the Professional Services Information System (PSI) to determine whether

premium overtime is a reimbursed cost or an excluded cost. Premium OT reimbursed means that

premium overtime costs are compensated through the audited rates. Premium OT excluded means that

premium overtime costs are not included in the audited rates (neither the direct expense percentage

nor the overhead percentage), and can be negotiated as a reimbursement on the project.

ONLY consultants identified through the audit and in PSI as premium OT excluded may be compensated

for additional premium overtime costs as a direct line item expense for this effort.

6. For purposes of tracking acceleration costs, a compensation element shall be established for the

contract called “Additional Compensation for Accelerated Schedule”. The compensation element will

be paid based on lump sum percentage completion. This provides an audit trail of what transpired on

the contract.
