Fixed Daily Rates
The task order will cite the applicable fixed daily rates selected
from the Table of Fixed Daily Rates. The fixed daily rates in effect
when the task order is executed will remain in effect for the entire
task order period.
Each fixed daily rate shall include the salary cost or consulting fee
of the individual providing the services, payroll costs (fringe
benefits, FICA, etc.), indirect costs applicable to labor, all
home/corporate office secretarial/administrative support [Domestic and
International] all computer rental [Domestic and International], all
report preparation costs, contract management (See Section C.2.e.),
DBA, MEDEVAC and profit or fee, if any. At posts where Danger Pay
allowance, post differential, and other allowances (i.e., housing,
education, etc.) are granted, these allowances may be budgeted as a
direct cost, but not included in the fixed daily rate. Fixed daily
rates shall include consideration of the contractor's established
personnel policies and procedures, except what is covered as Other
Direct Costs in B.3. (b).
[Note: Fixed Daily Rates shall not include or be applied to costs
covered as other direct costs in B.3. (b) such as travel and
transportation, costs of a local office, etc. USAID anticipates that,
for the most part, bilateral agreements with countries receiving
technical assistance under any task order will exempt the contractor
from paying non-U.S. taxes, duties, and bonding. To the extent that
these costs are not exempted, the question of their allowability would
be determined on a case-by-case basis as a direct cost. These costs
are not to be considered part of the fixed daily rates.]
The fixed daily rates set forth below shall be fixed for the contract
period and shall not be adjusted or re-negotiated.
[Note: If a task order is written in Year 3 with a period of
performance that extends into Year 4, the applicable fixed daily rate
for work days performed in Year 3 and 4 may be negotiated into the
task order accordingly. The same is applicable if occurring between
Year 4 and 5. Extensions that will cause existing task orders to
extend into a subsequent rate period would not typically involve a
change in the allowable fixed daily rate under that task order. Under
these circumstances, all changes in the allowable rates are subject to
the cognizant Contracting Officer's discretion.]
