Federal Acquisition Regulations

Architecture and Engineering firms that perform work for state departments of transportation must comply with rules set forth by FAR 31. 

• FAR 31: a complex set of rules that provide guidance for determining the reasonableness, allocability, and allowability of costs claimed under federal funding. These rules are used to determine allowable costs for contracts funded solely by State funds and to calculate an overhead rate. The overhead rate represents the percentage of general expenses that firms can bill to the contracting government agencies. 

Boyer & Ritter is experienced in dealing with many DOTs including those from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Virginia. 

Our FAR Services

• Assist in preparing an overhead schedule
• Perform a required annual audit of overhead rate and internal controls (audit required for bids over certain dollar threshold) and provide recommendations to management on best practices
• FAR readiness review - consultation on developing controls and processes to assist in FAR compliance
