If the County has never received or does not currently have a negotiated indirect cost rate, they are eligible for a de minimis indirect cost rate up to 15 percent of modified total direct costs (MTDC). MTDC is defined as all direct salaries and wages, applicable fringe benefits, materials and supplies, services, travel, and up to the first $50,000 of each subaward (regardless of the period of performance of the subawards under the award). 2.

The parties to this agreement shall monitor the work activities to ensure that performance goals are being achieved. The cooperator shall prepare a performance report for each reporting period that contains the following: - A comparison of actual accomplishments to the goals established for the period. Wherever the output of the project can be readily expressed in numbers, the report shall also include a computation of the cost per unit or output, asapplicable. Example: Goal-50 miles of trail maintenance; Actual-25 miles of trail work completed near mile marker 0.7. 25 miles x $422/mile = $10,500 - If established goals were not met, the report shall include (1) the reason for the delay, (2) a detailed explanation of why the goal was not achieved and identify any factors that may have contributed to the delay, and (3) a plan of action for addressing the issue and getting the project back on track. The plan should outline the specific steps that will be taken to address the issues and a timeline for implementing these steps. This information will enable the Forest Service to understand the reasons for the delay to determine if an agreement modification is warranted. Example: Due to severe weather conditions, the crew was unable to reach certain areas impacted by landslides. The schedule has been modified to have a 5-person crew onsite starting in May, 2023 to complete the remaining 25 miles of trails when optimal weather conditions are expected. - The report shall also include any additional pertinent information relevant to the project. For each ALN/CFDA, the performance report must include all relevant project work completed and/or invoiced for the reporting period then submitted to the Forest Service Program Contact. The quarterly performance report for each respective ALN/CFDA is due no later than 30 days after the reporting period ending March 31, June 30, September 30, December 31. The annual performance report for each respective ALN/CFDA is due no later than 90 days after the reporting period ending March 31, June 30, September 30, December 31. The final performance report must be submitted either with the Cooperator’s final payment request, or separately, no later than 120 days from the expiration date of the agreement, whichever is soonest. For CFDA #10.717, a [QUARTERLY] progress report is required. For CFDA # 10.699, an [ANNUAL] progress report is required. For CFDA # 10.665, an [ANNUAL] progress report is required.
