Common use of Contractor Costs Clause in Contracts

Contractor Costs. The costs charged for supplementary observer coverage to the owners and operators of foreign fishing vessels may not exceed the costs charged to NMFS for the same or similar services, except that contrac- tors may charge to the owners and op- erators of foreign fishing vessels an ad- ditional fee to cover the administrative costs of the program not ordinarily part of contract costs charged to NMFS. The costs charged foreign fish- ermen for supplementary observers may include, but are not limited to the following: (i) Salary and benefits, including overtime, for supplementary observers. (ii) The costs of post-certification training required by paragraph (j)(2) of this section. (iii) The costs of travel, transpor- tation, and per diem associated with deploying supplementary observers to foreign fishing vessels including the cost of travel, transportation, and per diem from the supplementary observ- er’s post of duty to the point of embar- kation to the foreign fishing vessel, and then from the point of disembarka- tion to the post of duty from where the trip began. For the purposes of these regulations, the appropriate Regional Administrator or Science and Research Director will designate posts of duty for supplementary observers. (iv) The costs of travel, transpor- tation, and per diem associated with the debriefing following deployment of a supplementary observer by NMFS of- ficials. (v) The administrative and overhead costs incurred by the contractor and, if appropriate, a reasonable profit.
