Deliverables
ISC shall provide a quarterly narrative report detailing activities across these three key tasks,
including an ISC accounting of staff time and expenses, for review and approval by the SSC.
Personnel and Fringe Benefits — salaries are budgeted as gross wages and reflect current or
comparable rates from ISC's current projects ISC fringe benefits are based on each employee's
salary, timesheet allocations, and its Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement ( "NICRA ")
(included as Attachment A), which is approved by United States Agency for International
Development, ISC's cognizant audit agency..
Travel —ISC requires travelers to take reasonable steps to lower travel costs, and air travel is
based on economy or coach class fares. ISC pays for actual hotel costs and provides per diem
rates for meals and incidental expenses that do not exceed US Government rates.
Other Direct Costs —ISC's estimates include communication and photocopying expenses and a
portion of ISC's A -133 audit expense. These expenses have been budgeted for this program
based on ISC's overall program cost and budget.
Institute for Sustainable Communities 1 Page 16
Indirect Costs —ISC's indirect cost calculation methodology uses a modified total direct cost base
consisting of total direct costs, less grant agreement amounts that exceed $25,000. ISC's NICRA
is currently 28 percent of its modified total direct cost base.

SECTION II: GENERAL
A. LIMITATIONS: Use of the rate(s) contained in this Agreement is subject to all statutory or
administrative limitations and is applicable to a given grant, contract or other agreement only
to the extent that funds are available. Acceptance of the rate(s) agreed to herein is predicated
upon the following conditions:
1. That no costs other than those incurred by the grantee/contractor or allocated to the
grantee /contractor via an approved central service cost allocation plan were included in its
indirect cost rate proposal and that such incurred costs are legal obligations of the
grantee /contractor and allowable under the governing cost principles,
2. That the information provided by the grantee/contractor which was used as a basis for
acceptance of the rate(s) to herein is not subsequently found to be materially inaccurate,
3. That the same costs that have been treated as indirect costs have not been claimed as direct
costs, and
4. That similar types of costs have been accorded consistent treatment.
B. ACCOUNTING CHANGES: The grantee/contractor is required to provide written
notification to the indirect cost negotiator prior to implementing any changes which could
affect the applicability of the approved rates. Any changes in accounting practice to include
changes in the method of charging a particular type of cost as direct or indirect and changes
in the indirect cost allocation base or allocation methodology require the prior approval of the
Office of Overhead, Special Cost and Closeout (OCC). Failure to obtain such prior written
approval may result in cost disallowance.
C. NOTIFICATION TO FEDERAL AGENCIES: A copy of this document is to be provided by
this organization to other Federal funding sources as a means of notifying them of the
Agreement contained herein.
D. PROVISIONAL -FINAL RATES: The grantee/contractor must submit a proposal to establish
a final indirect cost rate within nine months after its fiscal year end. Billings and charges to
Federal awards must be adjusted if the final rate varies from the provisional rate. If the final
rate is greater than the provisional rate and there are no funds available to cover the
additional indirect costs, the organization may not recover all indirect costs. Conversely, if
the final rate is less than the provisional rate, the organization will be required to pay back
the difference to the funding agency.

E. SPECIAL REMARKS:
1. Indirect costs charged to Federal grants/contracts by means other than the rate(s) cited in the
agreement should be adjusted to the applicable rate(s) cited herein which should be applied to
the appropriate base to identify the proper amount of indirect costs allocable to the program.
2. Grants/contracts providing for ceilings as to the indirect cost rate(s) or amount(s), which are
indicated in Section I above, will be subject to the ceilings stipulated in the grant, contract or
other agreement. The ceiling rate(s) or the rate(s) cited in this Agreement, whichever is
lower, will be used to determine the maximum allowable indirect cost on the grant or
contract agreement.
3. The rates hereby approved are subject to periodic review by the Government at any time their
use is deemed improper or unreasonable. You are requested to advise the Govemment
promptly of any circumstances, which could affect the applicability of the approved rates.
4. You are directed to submit adjustment or final financial expenditure reports (SF -425) for all
flexibly priced grants and other agreements; or adjustment or final vouchers for all flexibly
priced contracts within 120 days after settlement of the final annual indirect cost rates. Audit
adjustments should be clearly delineated so as to be readily identifiable for verification by
this office. Care should be taken that amounts claimed do not exceed award limitations or
indirect cost rate ceilings. USAID will deobligate any remaining funds if the required
financial expenditure reports or vouchers are not submitted within 120 days. Once the
money is de- obligated, it will not be reinstated.
