Consultant Annual Certification of Indirect Costs and Financial Management System EXHIBIT 10-KCONSULTANT ANNUAL CERTIFICATION OF
INDIRECT COSTS AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
(Note: If a Safe Harbor Indirect Cost Rate is approved, this form is not required.) Consultant’s Full Legal Name:
Important: Consultant means the individual or consultant providing engineering and design related services as a party of a contract with a recipient or sub-recipient of Federal assistance. Therefore, the Indirect Cost Rate(s) shall not be combined with its parent company or subsidiaries.
Indirect Cost Rate:
Combined Rate % OR
Home Office Rate % and Field Office Rate (if applicable) % Facilities Capital Cost of Money % (if applicable)
Fiscal period *
* Fiscal period is annual one year applicable accounting period that the Indirect Cost Rate was developed (not the contract period). The Indirect Cost Rate is based on the consultant’s one-year applicable accounting period for which financial statements are regularly prepared by the consultant.
I have reviewed the proposal to establish an Indirect Cost Rate(s) for the fiscal period as specified above and have determined to the best of my knowledge and belief that:
• All costs included in the cost proposal to establish the indirect cost rate(s) are allowable in accordance with the cost principles of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 48, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Chapter 1, Part 31 (48 CFR Part 31); • The cost proposal does not include any costs which are expressly unallowable under the cost principles of 48 CFR Part 31;
• The accounting treatment and billing of prevailing wage delta costs are consistent with our prevailing wage policy as either direct labor, indirect costs, or other direct costs on all federally- funded A&E Consultant Contracts.
• All known material transactions or events that have occurred subsequent to year-end affecting the consultant’s ownership, organization, and indirect cost rates have been disclosed as of the date of this certification.
I am providing the required and applicable documents as instructed on Exhibit 10-A.
Financial Management System:
Our labor charging, job costing, and accounting systems meet the standards for financial reporting, accounting records, and internal control adequate to demonstrate that costs claimed have been incurred, appropriately accounted for, are allocable to the contract, and comply with the federal requirements as set forth in Title 23 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 112(b)(2); 48 CFR Part 31.201-2(d); 23 CFR, Chapter 1, Part 172.11(a)(2); and all applicable state and federal rules and regulations.
Our financial management system has the following attributes:
• Account numbers identifying allowable direct, indirect, and unallowable cost accounts; • Ability to accumulate and segregate allowable direct, indirect, and unallowable costs into separate cost
