Common use of Allocation Options Clause in Contracts

Allocation Options. There are multiple options for determining an allocation methodology in a local area. The following two examples should be used: 1. The proportionate share of partner’s occupancy percentage of AJC 2. The proportion of FTE staffing . Cost allocation is based upon the premise that Federal programs are to bear an equitable proportion of shared costs based on the benefit received by each program. The allocation of costs must be consistent with the Uniform Guidance. The Uniform Guidance defines “allocation” at 2 CFR 200.400 and “allocable costs” at 2 CFR 200.405. To determine FTE staffing proportions, each required partner’s staff dedicated to support the operation of each AJC in the local area will be documented in the Standard Budget Format for Shared Costs in (Page 24) FTE staffing is defined to include: 1. Required partner or contractor FTE staff onsite at the AJC. 2. Required partner or contractor FTE staff offsite but who are dedicated and available on demand to meet service access requirements via “direct linkage.” According to § 678.730 of the Joint Final rule, if the Local WDB, chief elected official, and partners in a local area do not reach consensus agreement on methods of sufficiently funding AJC infrastructure costs for a program year, the State funding mechanism is applicable to the local area for that program year. To Initiate the State funding mechanism, a Local WDB must notify the Governor by the deadline established here within. Once a Local WDB has informed the Governor of their inability to reach a consensus, the local WDB must provide the Governor with local negotiation materials. The Governor will complete the following:  Determine the AJC budget through one or more of the following options; accepting a budget previously agreed upon by partner programs in the local negotiations; or creating a budget for the AJC using the State WDB formula (described below).  Establish a cost allocation methodology to determine the one-stop partner programs proportionate shares of infrastructure costs.  Using the methodology established, and taking into consideration the factors concerning individual partner programs, determine each partner’s proportionate share.  Calculate the statewide caps on the amounts that partner programs may be required to contribute (described below).  Ensure that the aggregate total of contributions according to proportionate share required of all local partner programs do not exceed the cap for that particular program, and direct payment accordingly.  If the total budget exceeds one or more of the program caps, determine the amount to direct each partner to pay. This can be done by one or more of the following options;
