State and local cost principles full participant manualCentralOhioAGA2012
The document discusses guidelines for determining allowable costs for grants and other agreements with state and local governments as outlined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-87. It covers key aspects of the circular including cost principles, cost allocation plans, indirect cost proposals, and selected items of cost.

Keeping collaborative delivery arrangements in focus and of course... a case of LBSR
Successful change - good culture and governance matter
APM Governance Specific Interest Group Conference
London, 06 Oct 2016
This document discusses strategies for linking economic development and social equity through zoning best practices. It advocates for using a points-based performance system for determining community benefits from new development projects. Such a system would involve conducting a community needs analysis, establishing a menu of benefits that developers could choose from to meet identified needs, and awarding points toward incentives like increased density based on the benefits provided in the areas of highest need. The goals are to make the process more predictable for developers while still providing flexibility, and ensure benefits are delivered where they can have the most impact on equity.
The document discusses developing asset management plans by focusing on service levels. It covers three modules: foundations of asset management, long range financial planning, and bringing it all together through asset management planning. The modules discuss topics like asset management principles, financial condition, service-based planning, asset condition, and capital budget prioritization. The goal is to develop asset management plans that ensure service levels are maintained through optimal investment in infrastructure assets.
tew (12.10.18) - Facilitating network investments through rab Денис Киркач
The document discusses facilitating network investments through the use of a Regulatory Asset Base (RAB) approach to tariff making. It outlines how a RAB model incorporates capital expenditures, depreciation, and return on investment in the revenue requirement formula to cover the costs of network investments over time. A scenario is presented where a utility invests $500 million over 5 years, with the investments added to the RAB and depreciated over 10 years to set tariffs and facilitate financing. Important considerations for the RAB approach include multi-year investment planning, inclusion of assets under construction, and adjustments for inflation.
The document summarizes Richard Petch's presentation on Sellafield Ltd's overarching acquisition strategy (OAS). Some key points:
- Sellafield Ltd aims to establish long-term, outcome-based relationships with suppliers to accelerate hazard reduction through collaboration and waste elimination.
- The strategy moves procurement from short-term, price-driven contracts to longer term agreements focused on benefits. This includes aggregating programs and integrating suppliers to access better facilities and resources more quickly.
- Officials have seen progress through sustained improvements between 2009-2011, including more efficient, collaborative relationships and economic operations.
- The approach aims to build value by focusing on outcomes rather than costs alone and incentivizing
The CDM Executive Board oversees the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protocol. The CDM aims to assist sustainable development and reduce emissions costs globally. It has grown exponentially since starting in 2005, registering over 900 projects across 49 countries. Most projects are small-scale and involve renewable energy industries. The CDM has shown it can work as intended by leveraging billions in investments and establishing a transparent framework for measurable reductions. It provides important lessons for operating offsets at a global scale through a bottom-up approach.
Presentation by Bikash Pandey, Deputy Chief of Party – USAID and the Director Clean Energy and Environment, Winrock International providing consultancy to Worldbank at a forum organized by Avanceon titled Financing Energy Optimization Projects with guaranteed IRR
The document describes the Cost driven Approach to Regulatory burdens (CAR) methodology developed by SIRA Consulting to quantify regulatory burdens on businesses. The CAR methodology takes a business's financial administration as a starting point to identify and quantify the costs of legal obligations. It expresses these regulatory burdens as a percentage of total business costs. The CAR methodology was developed to support the Dutch government's goal of reducing regulatory burdens on competitive sectors of the Dutch economy by €2.5 billion. It aims to scope solutions and identify measures that lead to tangible burden reduction and increased competitiveness.
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are agreements between governments and the private sector to provide public infrastructure like highways. Under a PPP model, a private sector special purpose vehicle constructs, maintains, and operates the infrastructure while collecting tolls. The private investor funds the construction, operation, and maintenance costs. There are risks if construction costs are underestimated, but quality incentives and supervision help mitigate this. PPPs provide infrastructure through private funding and expertise while transferring the asset back to the government upon completion of the contract period.
This document provides an overview of 8 key issues faced by public sector managers in delivering services with reduced budgets. It discusses how collaboration technologies have enabled public organizations to reduce costs through shared procurement, cut staffing costs through increased productivity, deliver shared services, reduce IT costs, improve partnership working, conduct effective public consultations, engage stakeholders, and foster innovation. Specific examples are provided of how collaboration software has helped organizations procure vehicles at a reduced cost through bulk purchasing.

This document defines the key deliverables and tasks for quantifying the value of a project. Deliverable 3D involves quantifying the project value by determining the benefits to customers and the organization. This includes calculating the cost of poor quality using baseline data and estimating savings. Project benefits are documented in the project benefit document and summarized in the project charter and final presentation.
This document outlines the steps to quantify the value of a project in Deliverable 3D. It defines cost of poor quality (COPQ) and explains how to calculate savings from a project, including hard savings from expense reductions and revenue growth, and soft savings from increased capacity or avoided costs. Benefits should be documented in the project charter, presentation, and final report to complete Deliverable 3D. Quantifying value helps prioritize projects and shows expected returns from improvements.
The document introduces the concept of full cost recovery (FCR), which involves calculating and recovering the full costs of delivering a project, including both direct costs and an appropriate share of overhead costs. It discusses the benefits of FCR and outlines the different types of costs that should be included. The document also describes different methods for allocating overhead costs across projects and provides next steps around developing guidelines and training to implement FCR for voluntary organizations.
