It can be several months after the DCAA audit before negotiations begin. The TCO usually has several proposals to review and settle at any given time. Constant communication with the Government is often required to keep the your settlement process moving in an expeditious manner. Maximizing your recovery requires correctly identifying, proving all claimable costs and actively participating in the termination procedures. CECA has successfully settled T for C claims for contractors with the Department of Energy, the Air Force, the Army Corps of Engineers and the Department of Defense.
CECA specializes in the preparation and negotiation of termination for convenience proposals.
Most contractors have an incomplete understanding on how to present the termination settlement proposal to the government and what costs to include in the proposal. Unless these obstacles can be overcome, the contractor may not fully recover its costs incurred. CECA's experience has resulted in a very successful rate of settlement recovery for its clients. The costs associated with the preparation of the settlement proposal are recoverable expenses, to include accounting, legal, clerical and other expenses reasonably necessary for the preparation of the Termination Settlement Proposal and supporting data.
