  b.The Contractor shall bear full responsibility for the performance of all work and services involving the use of human subjects under this contract and shall ensure that work is conducted in a proper manner and as safely as is feasible. The parties hereto agree that the Contractor retains the right to control and direct the performance of all work under this contract. Nothing in this contract shall create an agency or employee relationship between the Government and the Contractor, or any subcontractor, agent or employee of the Contractor, or any other person, organization, institution, or group of any kind whatsoever. The Contractor agrees that it has entered into this contract and will discharge its obligations, duties, and undertakings and the work pursuant thereto, whether requiring professional judgment or otherwise, as an independent Contractor without creating liability on the part of the Government for the acts of the Contractor or its employees.


  c.Contractors involving other agencies or institutions in activities considered to be engaged in research involving human subjects must ensure that such other agencies or institutions obtain their own FWA if they are routinely engaged in research involving human subjects or ensure that such agencies or institutions are covered by the Contractors’ FWA via designation as agents of the institution or via individual investigator agreements (see OHRP website at: http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/policy/guidanceonalternativetofwa.pdf).


  d.If at any time during the performance of this contract the Contractor is not in compliance with any of the requirements and or standards stated in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the Contracting Officer may immediately suspend, in whole or in part,


   

   

  39

  

  work and further payments under this contract until the Contractor corrects the noncompliance. The Contracting Officer may communicate the notice of suspension by telephone with confirmation in writing. If the Contractor fails to complete corrective action within the period of time designated in the Contracting Officer’s written notice of suspension, the Contracting Officer may, after consultation with OHRP, terminate this contract in whole or in part.

   

  H.7HHSAR 352.270-5b, Care of Life Vertebrate Animals (Dec 2015)


   

  a.Before undertaking performance of any contract involving animal-related activities where the species is regulated by the United Sates Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Contractor shall register with the Secretary of Agriculture of the United States in accordance with 7 U.S.C. 2136 and 9 CFR 2.25 through 2.28.

  H.10ELECTRONIC AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ACCESSIBILITY, HHSAR 352.239-74


  (December 2015)

   

  a.Pursuant to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973(29 U.S.C. 794d), as amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, all electronic and information technology (EIT) supplies and services developed, acquired, or maintained under this contract or order must comply with the "Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) Accessibility Standards'' set forth by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (also referred to as the "Access Board'') in 36 CFR part 1194. Information about Section 508 is available at http://www.hhs.gov/web/508 . The complete text of Section 508 Final Provisions can be accessed at http://www.access-board.gov/guidelines- andstandards/communications-and-it/about-the-section-508-standards.


   

  b.The Section 508 accessibility standards applicable to this contract or order are identified in the Statement of Work or Specification or Performance Work Statement. The contractor must provide any necessary updates to the submitted HHS Product Assessment Template(s) at the end of each contract or order exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (see FAR 2.101) when the contract or order duration is one year or less. If it is determined by the Government that EIT supplies and services provided by the Contractor do not conform to the described accessibility standards in the contract, remediation of the supplies or services to the level of conformance specified in the contract will be the responsibility of the Contractor at its own expense.


   

  c.The Section 508 accessibility standards applicable to this contract are: E205 Electronic Content Standards. Note: Items provided incidental to contract administration are not subject to this section.


   

   

  d.In the event of a modification(s) to this contract or order, which adds new EIT supplies or services or revises the type of, or specifications for, supplies or services, the Contracting Officer may require that the contractor submit a completed HHS Section 508 Product Assessment Template and any other additional information necessary to assist the Government in determining that the EIT supplies or services conform to Section 508 accessibility standards.

If it is determined by the Government that EIT supplies and services provided by the Contractor do not conform to the described accessibility standards in the contract, remediation of the supplies or services to the level of conformance specified in the contract will be the responsibility of the Contractor at its own expense.


   

   

  42

  

  e.If this is an Indefinite Delivery contract, a Blanket Purchase Agreement or a Basic Ordering Agreement, the task/delivery order requests that include EIT supplies or services will define the specifications and accessibility standards for the order. In those cases, the Contractor may be required to provide a completed HHS Section 508 Product Assessment Template and any other additional information necessary to assist the Government in determining that the EIT supplies or services conform to Section 508 accessibility standards. Instructions for documenting accessibility via the HHS Section 508 Product Assessment Template may be found at http://www.hhs.gov/web/508. If it is determined by the Government that EIT supplies and services provided by the Contractor do not conform to the described accessibility standards in the provided documentation, remediation of the supplies or services to the level of conformance specified in the contract will be the responsibility of the Contractor at its own expense.


   

  H.11Confidentiality of Information


   

  a.Confidential information, as used in this article, means information or data of a personal nature about an individual, or proprietary information or data submitted by or pertaining to an institution or organization.


  b.The Contracting Officer and the Contractor may, by mutual consent, identify elsewhere in this contract specific information and/or categories of information which the Government will furnish to the Contractor or that the Contractor is expected to generate which is confidential. Similarly, the Contracting Officer and the Contractor may, by mutual consent, identify such confidential information from time to time during the performance of the contract. Failure to agree will be settled pursuant to the "Disputes" clause.


  c.If it is established elsewhere in this contract that information to be utilized under this contract, or a portion thereof, is subject to the Privacy Act, the Contractor will follow the rules and procedures of disclosure set forth in the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and implementing regulations and policies, with respect to systems of records determined to be subject to the Privacy Act.


  d.Confidential information, as defined in paragraph (a) of this article, shall not be disclosed without the prior written consent of the individual, institution, or organization.


  e.Whenever the Contractor is uncertain with regard to the proper handling of material under the contract, or if the material in question is subject to the Privacy Act or is confidential information subject to the provisions of this article, the Contractor shall obtain a written determination from the Contracting Officer prior to any release, disclosure, dissemination, or publication.


  f.Contracting Officer Determinations will reflect the result of internal coordination with appropriate program and legal officials.


  g.The provisions of paragraph (d) of this article shall not apply to conflicting or overlapping provisions in other Federal, State or local laws.


   

  H.12Institutional Responsibility Regarding Investigator Conflicts of Interest


   

  The Institution (includes any Contractor, public or private, excluding a Federal agency) shall comply with the requirements of 45 CFR Part 94, Responsible Prospective Contractors, which promotes objectivity in research by establishing standards to ensure that Investigators (defined as the project director or principal Investigator and any other person, regardless of title or position, who is responsible for the design, conduct, or reporting of research funded under BARDA contracts, or proposed for such funding, which may include, for example, collaborators or

   

   

  43

  

  consultants) will not be biased by any Investigator financial conflicts of interest. 45 CFR Part 94 is available at the following Web site: http://www.ecfr.gov/cgibin/textidx?c=ecfr&SID=0af84ca649a74846f102aaf664da1623&rgn=div 5&view=text&node=45:1.0.1.1.51&idno=45

   

  As required by 45 CFR Part 94, the Institution shall, at a minimum:

   

  a.Maintain an up-to-date, written, enforceable policy on financial conflicts of interest that complies with 45 CFR Part 94, inform each Investigator of the policy, the Investigator's reporting responsibilities regarding disclosure of significant financial interests, and the applicable regulation, and make such policy available via a publicly accessible Web site, or if none currently exist, available to any requestor within five business days of a request. A significant financial interest means a financial interest consisting of one or more of the following interests of the Investigator (and those of the Investigator's spouse and dependent children) that reasonably appears to be related to the Investigator's institutional responsibilities:


   

  1.With regard to any publicly traded entity, a significant financial interest exists if the value of any remuneration received from the entity in the twelve months preceding the disclosure and the value of any equity interest in the entity as of the date of disclosure, when aggregated, exceeds $5,000. Included are payments and equity interests;


  2.With regard to any non-publicly traded entity, a significant financial interest exists if the value of any remuneration received from the entity in the twelve months preceding the disclosure, when aggregated, exceeds $5,000, or when the Investigator (or the Investigator's spouse or dependent children) holds any equity interest; or


  3.Intellectual property rights and interests, upon receipt of income related to such rights and interest.


   

  Significant financial interests do not include the following:

   

  1.Income from seminars, lectures, or teaching, and service on advisory or review panels for G agencies, Institutions of higher education, academic teaching hospitals, medical centers, or research institutes with an Institution of higher learning; and


  2.Income from investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and retirement accounts, as long as the Investigator does not directly control the investment decisions made in these vehicles.


   

  b.Require each Investigator to complete training regarding the Institution's financial conflicts of interest policy prior to engaging in research related to any BARDA funded contract and at least every four years. The Institution must take reasonable steps [see Part 94.4(c)] to ensure that investigators working as collaborators, consultants or subcontractors comply with the regulations.


  c.Designate an official(s) to solicit and review disclosures of significant financial interests from each Investigator who is planning to participate in, or is participating in, the BARDA funded research.


  d.Require that each Investigator who is planning to participate in the BARDA funded research disclose to the Institution's designated official(s) the Investigator's significant financial interest (and those of the Investigator's spouse and dependent


   

   

  44

  

  children) no later than the date of submission of the Institution's proposal for BARDA funded research. Require that each Investigator who is participating in the BARDA funded research to submit an updated disclosure of significant financial interests at least annually, in accordance with the specific time period prescribed by the Institution during the period of the award as well as within thirty days of discovering or acquiring a new significant financial interest.

  e.Provide guidelines consistent with the regulations for the designated official(s) to determine whether an Investigator's significant financial interest is related to BARDA funded research and, if so related, whether the significant financial interest is a financial conflict of interest. An Investigator's significant financial interest is related to BARDA funded research when the Institution, thorough its designated official(s), reasonably determines that the significant financial interest: Could be affected by the BARDA funded research; or is in an entity whose financial interest could be affected by the research. A financial conflict of interest exists when the Institution, through its designated official(s), reasonably determines that the significant financial interest could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting of the BARDA funded research.


  f.Take such actions as necessary to manage financial conflicts of interest, including any financial conflicts of a subcontractor Investigator. Management of an identified financial conflict of interest requires development and implementation of a management plan and, if necessary, a retrospective review and mitigation report pursuant to Part 94.5(a).


  g.Provide initial and ongoing FCOI reports to the Contracting Officer pursuant to Part 94.5(b).


  h.Maintain records relating to all Investigator disclosures of financial interests and the Institution's review of, and response to, such disclosures, and all actions under the Institution's policy or retrospective review, if applicable, for at least 3 years from the date of final payment or, where applicable, for the other time periods specified in 48 CFR Part 4, subpart 4.7, Contract Records Retention.


  i.Establish adequate enforcement mechanisms and provide for employee sanctions or other administrative actions to ensure Investigator compliance as appropriate.


  j.Complete the certification in Section K - Representations, Certifications, and Other Statements of Contractors titled "Certification of Institutional Policy on Financial Conflicts of Interest".


   

  If the failure of an Institution to comply with an Institution's financial conflicts of interest policy or a financial conflict of interest management plan appears to have biased the design, conduct, or reporting of the BARDA funded research, the Institution must promptly notify the Contracting Officer of the corrective action taken or to be taken. The Contracting Officer will consider the situation and, as necessary, take appropriate action or refer the matter to the Institution for further action, which may include directions to the Institution on how to maintain appropriate objectivity in the BARDA funded research project.

   

  The Contracting Officer and/or HHS may inquire at any time before, during, or after award into any Investigator disclosure of financial interests, and the Institution's review of, and response to, such disclosure, regardless of whether the disclosure resulted in the Institution's determination of a financial conflict of interests. The Contracting Officer may require submission of the records or review them on site. On the basis of this review of records or other information that may be available, the Contracting Officer may decide that a particular financial conflict of interest will bias the objectivity of the BARDA funded research to such an extent that further corrective action is needed or that the Institution has not managed the financial conflict of interest in accordance

   

   

  45

  

  with Part 94.6(b). The issuance of a Stop Work Order by the Contracting Officer may be necessary until the matter is resolved.

   

  If the Contracting Officer determines that BARDA funded clinical research, whose purpose is to evaluate the safety or effectiveness of a drug, medical device, or treatment, has been designed, conducted, or reported by an Investigator with a financial conflict of interest that was not managed or reported by the Institution, the Institution shall require the Investigator involved to disclose the financial conflict of interest in each public presentation of the results of the research and to request an addendum to previously published presentations.

   

  H.13Reporting Matters Involving Fraud, Waste and Abuse


   

  Anyone who becomes aware of the existence or apparent existence of fraud, waste and abuse in BARDA funded programs is encouraged to report such matters to the HHS Inspector General's Office in writing or on the Inspector General's Hotline. The toll free number is 1-800-HHS-TIPS (1-800-447-8477). All telephone calls will be handled confidentially. The e-mail address is Htips@os.dhhs.gov and the mailing address is:

  H.14Prohibition on Contractor Involvement with Terrorist Activities


   

  The Contractor acknowledges that U.S. Executive Orders and Laws, including but not limited to

  E.O. 13224 and Pub. L. 107-56, prohibit transactions with, and the provision of resources and support to, individuals and organizations associated with terrorism. It is the legal responsibility of the Contractor to ensure compliance with these Executive Orders and Laws. This clause must be included in all subcontracts issued under this contract.

  Statement of Work BAA-18-SOL-00003, AOI #12

  Arcturus Therapeutics (Arcturus) Self-Amplifying mRNA-Based Vaccine

  For Rapid Influenza Response 8/24/2022

   

  Background

  The current COVID-19 pandemic has exemplified the need for highly efficacious vaccines as a medical countermeasure for pandemic outbreaks and the means to produce those vaccines quickly. There have been four influenza pandemics in little more than the past century and preparing for the next influenza pandemic is critical. mRNA-based vaccines have recently demonstrated safe and effective prevention of pandemic viral infection. mRNA-based vaccines can be rapidly developed so that a 60-day time frame from sequence identification to initiation of clinical trials can be achieved. In addition, US-based manufacturing capacity for mRNA products must be expanded and sustained to facilitate the production of hundreds of millions of doses required to vaccinate the public.

  2

  

  1.1.8.2The Contractor shall participate in teleconferences every two weeks between the Contractor and subcontractors and BARDA to review technical progress. Teleconferences or additional face-to-face meetings shall be more frequent at the request of BARDA.


  1.1.9Integrated Master Schedule 1.1.9.1 Within 30 calendar days of the effective date of the contract, the Contractor shall submit a first draft of an updated Integrated Master Schedule in a format agreed upon by BARDA to the Project Officer and the Contracting Officer for review and comment. The Integrated Master Schedule shall be incorporated into the contract and will be used to monitor performance of the contract. Contractor shall include the key milestones and Go/No Go decision gates. The IMS for the period of performance will be accepted by BARDA at the PMBR.


   

  1.1.10Integrated Master Plan 1.1.10.1 Work Breakdown Structure: The Contractor shall utilize a WBS template agreed upon by BARDA for reporting on the contact. The Contractor shall expand and delineate the Contract Work Breakdown Structure (CWBS) to a level agreed upon by BARDA as part of their Integrated Master Plan for contract reporting. The CWBS shall be discernable and consistent. BARDA may require Contractor to furnish WBS data at the work package level or at a lower level if there is significant complexity and risk associated with the task.


   

  1.1.10.2GO/ NO-GO Decision Gates: The Integrated Master Plan outlines key milestones with “Go/No Go” decision criteria (entrance and exit criteria for each phase of the project). The project plan should include, but not be limited to, milestones in manufacturing, non-clinical and clinical studies, and regulatory submissions.


   

  1.1.10.3Earned Value Management System Plan: Subject to the requirements under HHSAR Clause 352.234-4, the Contractor shall use principles of Earned Value Management System (EVMS) in the management of this contract.


   

  Contractor’s Program Manager (PM) will use the Statement of Work, a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) with task descriptions, the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), and project team meetings as the primary tools for scope, budget and schedule integration. The WBS serves as the fundamental

  building block for the IMS and financial reporting. The IMS maps-out the start and end dates for the total program and further breaks down the timeline by individual line items, tasks and sub-tasks. This will include monitoring contract-mandated ceilings to ensure on-time and on-budget completion of all programmatic deliverables. The PM will track the program status against this IMS on a monthly

  basis. The PM will determine if tasks are behind or ahead of schedule. Program timelines will be reported to BARDA in the monthly and quarterly reports. When program tasks or subtasks are behind schedule (or threaten to be behind schedule) the Program Team will meet to determine:

  •The root cause of the delay;


  •The successor tasks that may be impacted and the impact the global program timelines and budget;


  •Potential actions to bring the task or subtask back within the necessary timelines; and


  •The impact of these actions on the program (cost, schedule, and resource reallocation, etc.)


  If program changes are required, the PI/PM will present the action plan and work with BARDA to implement any necessary changes to the project plan.

  1.1.11Decision Gate Reporting: On completion of a stage of the product development, as defined in the agreed upon Integrated Master Schedule and Integrated Master Plan, the Contractor shall prepare and


   

   

  3

  

  submit to the Project Officer and the Contracting Officer a Decision Gate Report that contains (i) sufficient detail, documentation and analysis to support successful completion of the stage according to the predetermined qualitative and quantitative criteria that were established for Go/No Go decision making; and (ii) a description of the next stage of product development to be initiated and a request for approval to proceed to the next stage of product development

   

  1.1.12Risk Management Plan: The Contractor shall develop a risk management plan within 90 days of contract award highlighting potential problems and/or issues that may arise during the life of the contract, their impact on cost, schedule and performance, and appropriate remediation plans. This plan should reference relevant WBS elements where appropriate. Updates to this plan shall be included every three months (quarterly) in the monthly Project Status Report.


   

  1.1.13Performance Measurement Baseline Review (PMBR): The Contractor shall submit a plan for a PMBR to occur within 90 days of contract award. At the PMBR, the Contractor and BARDA shall mutually agree upon the budget, schedule and technical plan baselines (Performance Measurement Baseline). These baselines shall be the basis for monitoring and reporting progress throughout the life of the contract. The PMBR is conducted to achieve confidence that the baselines accurately capture the entire technical scope of work, are consistent with contract schedule requirements, are reasonably and logically planned, and have adequate resources assigned. The goals of the PMBR are as follows:


   

  I.Jointly assess areas such as the Contractor’s planning for complete coverage of the SOW, logical scheduling of the work activities, adequate resources, and identification of inherent risks


   

  II.Confirm the integrity of the Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB)


   

  III.Foster the use of EVM as a means of communication


   

  IV.Provide confidence in the validity of Contractor reporting

  VI.Present any revised PMBs for mutual agreement


   

  VII.Present an Integrated Master Schedule: The Contractor shall deliver an initial program level Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) that rolls up all time-phased WBS elements down to the activity level. This IMS shall include the dependencies that exist between tasks. This IMS will be agreed to and finalized at the PMBR. DI-MGMT-81650 may be referenced as guidance in creation of the IMS (see http://www.acq.osd.mil/pm/).


   

  VIII.Present the Risk Management Plan


   

  1.1.14Deviation Request: During the course of contract performance, in response to a need to change IMS activities as baselined at the PMBR, the Contractor shall submit a Deviation Report. This report shall request a change in the agreed-upon IMS and timelines. This report shall include: (i) discussion of the justification/rationale for the proposed change; (ii) options for addressing the needed changes from the agreed upon timelines, including a cost-benefit analysis of each option; and (iii) recommendations for the preferred option that includes a full analysis and discussion of the effect of the change on the entire product development program, timelines, and budget.


   

  1.1.15Monthly and Annual Reports: The Contractor shall deliver Project Status Reports on a monthly basis. The reports shall address the items below cross referenced to the WBS, SOW, IMS, and EVM:

  Attachment 5 INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING

  "FINANCIAL REPORT OF INDIVIDUAL PROJECT/CONTRACT" GENERAL INFORMATION

  Purpose. This Quarterly Financial Report is designed to: (1) provide a management tool for use by the Government in monitoring the application of financial and personnel resources to the BARDA funded contracts; (2) provide contractors with financial and personnel management data which is usable in their management processes; (3) promptly indicate potential areas of contract underruns or overruns by making possible comparisons of actual performance and projections with prior estimates on individual elements of cost and personnel; and (4) obtain contractor's analyses of cause and effect of significant variations between actual and prior estimates of financial and personnel performance.

   

  REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

   

  Scope. The specific cost and personnel elements to be reported shall be established by mutual agreement prior to award. The Government may require the contractor to provide detailed documentation to support any element(s) on one or more financial reports.

   

  Number of Copies and Mailing Address. An electronic copy of the report(s) shall be sent to the contracting officer at the address shown in the contract, no later than 30 working days after the end of the period reported. However, the contract may provide for a copy to be sent directly to the Contracting Officer's Representative.

   

  REPORTING STATISTICS

   

  A modification which extends the period of performance of an existing contract will not require reporting on a separate quarterly report, except where it is determined by the contracting officer that separate reporting is necessary. Furthermore, when incrementally funded contracts are involved, each separate allotment is not considered a separate contract entity (only a funding action). Therefore, the statistics under incrementally funded contracts should be reported cumulatively from the inception of the contract through completion.

   

  Definitions and Instructions for Completing the Quarterly Report. For the purpose of establishing expenditure categories in Column A, the following definitions and instructions will be utilized. Each contract will specify the categories to be reported.

   

  (1)Key Personnel. Include key personnel regardless of annual salary rates. All such individuals should be listed by names and job titles on a separate line including those whose salary is not directly charged to the contract but whose effort is directly associated with the contract. The listing must be kept up to date.


   

  (2)Personnel--Other. List as one amount unless otherwise required by the contract.


   

  (3)Fringe Benefits. Include allowances and services provided by the contractor to employees as compensation in addition to regular salaries and wages. If a fringe benefit rate(s) has been established, identify the base, rate, and amount billed for each category. If a rate has not been established, the various fringe benefit costs may be required to be shown separately. Fringe benefits which are included in the indirect cost rate should not be shown here.


   

  (4)Accountable Personal Property. Include nonexpendable personal property with an acquisition cost of $1,000 or more and with an expected useful life of two or more years, and sensitive items regardless of cost. Form HHS 565, "Report of Accountable Property," must accompany the contractor's public voucher (SF 1034/SF 1035) or this report if not previously submitted. See "Contractor's Guide for Control of Government Property."


   

  (5)Supplies. Include the cost of supplies and material and equipment charged directly to the contract, but excludes the cost of nonexpendable equipment as defined in (4) above.


   

  (6)Inpatient Care. Include costs associated with a subject while occupying a bed in a patient care setting. It normally includes both routine and ancillary costs.


   

  (7)Outpatient Care. Include costs associated with a subject while not occupying a bed. It normally includes ancillary costs only.


   

  (8)Travel. Include all direct costs of travel, including transportation, subsistence and miscellaneous expenses. Travel for staff and consultants shall be shown separately. Identify foreign and domestic travel separately. If required by the contract, the following information shall be submitted: (i) Name of traveler and purpose of trip; (ii) Place of departure, destination and return, including time and dates; and (iii) Total cost of trip.


   

   

  

  (9)Consultant Fee. Include fees paid to consultant(s). Identify each consultant with effort expended, billing rate, and amount billed.


   

  (10)Premium Pay. Include the amount of salaries and wages over and above the basic rate of pay.


   

  (11)Subcontracts. List each subcontract by name and amount billed.


   

  (12)Other Costs. Include any expenditure categories for which the Government does not require individual line item reporting. It may include some of the above categories.


   

  (13)Overhead/Indirect Costs. Identify the cost base, indirect cost rate, and amount billed for each indirect cost category.


   

  (14)General and Administrative Expense. Cite the rate and the base. In the case of nonprofit organizations, this item will usually be included in the indirect cost.


   

  (15)Fee. Cite the fee earned, if any.


   

  (16)Total Costs to the Government.


   

  PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

   

  These instructions are keyed to the Columns on the Quarterly Report.

   

  Column A--Expenditure Category. Enter the expenditure categories required by the contract.

   

  Column B--Percentage of Effort/Hours Negotiated. Enter the percentage of effort or number of hours agreed to during contract negotiations for each labor category listed in Column A.

   

  Column C--Percentage of Effort/Hours-Actual. Enter the cumulative percentage of effort or number of hours worked by each employee or group of employees listed in Column A.

   

  Column D--Cumulative Incurred Cost at End of Prior Period. Enter the cumulative incurred costs up to the end of the prior reporting period. This column will be blank at the time of the submission of the initial report.

   

  Column E--Incurred Cost-Current Period. Enter the costs which were incurred during the current period.

   

  Column F--Cumulative Incurred Cost to Date. Enter the combined total of Columns D and E.

   

  Column G--Estimated Cost to Complete. Make entries only when the contractor estimates that a particular expenditure category will vary from the amount negotiated. Realistic estimates are essential.

   

  Column H--Estimated Costs at Completion. Complete only if an entry is made in Column G.

   

  Column I--Negotiated Contract Amount. Enter in this column the costs agreed to during contract negotiations for all expenditure categories listed in Column A.

   

  Column J--Variance (Over or Under). Complete only if an entry is made in Column H. When entries have been made in Column H, this column should show the difference between the estimated costs at completion (Column H) and negotiated costs (Column I). When a line item varies by plus or minus 10 percent, i.e., the percentage arrived at by dividing Column J by Column I, an explanation of the variance should be submitted. In the case of an overrun (net negative variance), this submission shall not be deemed as notice under the Limitation of Cost (Funds) Clause of the contract.

   

  Modifications. List any modification in the amount negotiated for an item since the preceding report in the appropriate cost category. Expenditures Not Negotiated. List any expenditure for an item for which no amount was negotiated (e.g., at the discretion of the contractor in performance of its contract) in the appropriate cost category and complete all columns except for I. Column J will of course show a 100 percent variance and will be explained along with those identified under J above.
