The wording in the contract is that the daily rate will include
secretarial/administrative support, computer RENTAL, and report
preparation costs.
I would thank that if we are expected to establish a office it would
include all equipment need to operated the office including the
purchase of computers. The purchase would be under geographic code
000 and the property would belong to the government at the end of the
project.

Ned -
I think my question regarding Amercian content has caused some
confusion. I realize now that since the computers are in the overhead it
doesn't matter where they come from because we are not charging USAID
directly for them. They would be EMG assets to be used like any other
computer we might give a consultant who comes out here. If we buy some
thing for the project - such as a printer - we probably need to comply
with USAID "000" sourcing.
By the way is a laser printer computer equipment or part of the cost of
a local office? When I discussed a "tentative" budget with the USAID
project office, I consider the printer, fax, etc. part of the cost of a
local office. What is your opinion? If we buy the printer under the task
order does it become USAIDjEgypt property? If so i will buy it and lease
it to the project?
