and determine the resources needed
to accomplish the scope of work
described in the RFP.
Cont…
15. Basis of Estimate, Continued…

material management, manufacturing, or time keeping.
16. Methods
• Analagous Method - you performed similar work that can
serve as a basis.

library of statistically valid cost estimating relationships based
on historical data.
• Task-Based/Bottom-Up - you performed similar work and
can access a library of historical data.
Cont…
17. Methods, Continued…
• Level of Effort (LOE) Method – predefined level of
support for some tasks such as allocation of hours for
project management, quality assurance or supervisors.

A basis of estimate is:
A. List of items or tasks with calculations and dollars.

Cont…
Facilities capital cost of money (FCCM) is the government’s
method to track the estimated cost of contractors using their
own money to invest in facilities and equipment that benefit the
government.
• It’s an imputed “interest-like” expense since interest is an
unallowable expense.
• Multiply the book value of capital employed by the applicable
Treasury rate(s).

Time Phased
Cont…
• Hours and dollars by task/CLIN by year.
• Include subtotals and totals-
• By labor category
• By task/CLIN
• By year
31. FAR 15.404-4(a)(30)
Cont…
• Both the Government and contractors should be concerned
with profit as a motivator of efficient and effective
contract performance.
• Negotiations aimed merely at reducing prices by reducing
profit, without proper recognition of the function of profit, are
not in the Government’s interest.
32. FAR 15.404-4(a)(30), Continued…
• Negotiation of extremely low
profits, use of historical
averages, or automatic
application of predetermined
percentages of total estimated
costs do not provide proper
motivation for optimum
contract performance.
33. Profit and Fee
Cont…
Profit or fee amount does not equal net income
Just as actual costs may vary from estimated costs, the
contractor’s actual realized profit or fee may vary from
negotiated profit or fee, because of such factors as efficiency
of performance, incurrence of costs the Government does not
recognize as allowable, and the contract type. FAR 15.404-
4(a)(1)
34. Profit and Fee, Continued…
Cont…
Profit or fee amount does not equal net income
Items that come out of profit:
• Federal income taxes
• Unallowable costs
• Interest expense
• Charitable contributions
• Employee welfare
• Cost overruns
• Fixed price contracts
• Unbillable costs
35. Profit and Fee, Continued…
Uses of profit
Working capital (can’t take cash out of business)
• Internal investments
• Funding growth/other contracts
• Floating A/R
Owner/investor rewards for risk
• Companies in business to make money
• Investors expect a return
36. Three Limitations in FAR 15.404-4(b)(4)
A. R&D work on CPFF shall not exceed 15 percent of the
contract’s estimated cost, excluding fee.
B. For architect-engineer services for public works or utilities, the
contract price or the estimated cost and fee for production
and delivery of designs, plans, drawing, and specifications
shall not exceed 6 percent of the estimated cost of
construction of the public work or utility, excluding fees.
C. For other cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts, the fee shall not
exceed 10 percent of the contract’s estimated cost, excluding
fee.
42. Separate Labor and Material
• Escalate each separately
• Labor varies by category and geography
• Material varies by commodity
• Single factor may not give fair consideration to a component
48. Room Poll
How confident are you in the quality of your cost and price
proposals?
A. Extremely, they’re perfect!
B. Mostly, but could be tweaked.
C. Somewhat. We struggle.
D. Not at all.
49. Complex FAR regulations can be overwhelming, especially when
submitting cost and price proposals to the government. We hope
this webinar provided you with an overview of what's necessary
when preparing a comprehensive cost and price proposal that
maximizes profit and ensures regulatory compliance.
