Indirect Rates Authorized under UGMS. The following rates are authorized under UGMS: 12.1 Approved Predetermined Rate. An approved predetermined rate is an indirect cost rate agreed to within the preceding 24 months in a signed indirect rate negotiation agreement with the applicable federal cognizant agency, state single audit coordinating agency, major state funding agency, or another state agency designated by the Governor. An approved predetermined rate shall be expressed as a percentage of the direct cost base specified in the signed indirect rate negotiation agreement. 12.2 Experience -Based Predetermined Rate. An experienced -based predetermined rate is an indirect cost rate agreed to between TCEQ and Performing Party where there is no approved predetermined rate and Contract Number 582-15-50123 7 of 9 Amendment #1 TCEQ CONTRACT NUMBER 582-15-50123 there is sufficient cost experience and other pertinent facts to enable the parties to reach an informed judgment (a) as to the probable level of indirect costs in the Performing Party's programs during the term of the Contract, covered by the negotiated rate, and (b) that the amount allowable under that rate would not exceed actual indirect costs. An experience -based predetermined rate shall be expressed as a percentage of either (a) salary or wages, or (b) modified total direct costs Modified total direct costs are total direct costs less "extraordinary or distorting expenditures," usually capital expenditures, sub -awards, contracts, assistance payments (e.g., to beneficiaries), and provider payments. The direct cost base selected should result in the fair distribution of indirect costs among all state and federal grants and contracts affected, as well as other Performing Party activities that share in the indirect costs. 12.3 Default Rate. A default rate is an indirect of ten percent (10%) of direct salary and wages to be used where (a) there is no approved or experienced -based predetermined rate, and (b) the Performing Party represents that its actual indirect costs equal or exceed ten percent (10%) of salary and fringe. 13. Adjustment of Indirect Rates. A reimbursable rate is intended to be final. Performing Party acknowledges that TCEQ's budget is limited and funds may not be available to reimburse any increase in indirect costs. Performing Party waives any right it may have to upward adjustment of its indirect rate and agrees to contribute any such increase to the successful performance of this Contract (if matching funds are required, Performing Party may claim such costs as all or part of its match). TCEQ waives any right it may have to a downward adjustment of Performing Party s indirect rate, unless the reimbursable rate is greater than the Performing Party's actual indirect costs. If the latter case, if reasonably feasible, a compensating adjustment shall be carried forward to this Contract or a future contract If not feasible, where permitted by law TCEQ and Performing Party may identify additional services to be performed by Performing Party as a compensating adjustment, or Performing Party shall reimburse TCEQ the excess indirect costs paid.
