AC 150/5900-1B 1/31/79 38. FORCE ACCOUNT. When planning projects are accomplished totally or in part by sponsor forces or by the forces of another public agency retained by the sponsor, the method of accomplishment is called force account. The work force involved is carried on the agency's payroll. Indirect costs for supplies, equipment, and overhead are also provided for under force account. Allowable costs are specified in FAR Part 152 and in Appendix 4 of AC 150/5100-10. Grants involving force account must guarantee project completion with a "not to exceed" cost limitation and payments may not exceed actual audited costs incurred. The justification to be submitted in applying for force account is described in paragraph 24c(5) of this advisory circular. Documentation of force account expenditures (as described in AC 150/5100-10) is particularly important to assure allowability. 39. ISSUANCE OF NOTICE TO PROCEED. The notice to proceed can be issued to the consultant after the grant offer has been accepted by the sponsor and a legal review has been made by the FAA. Also, the notice is normally withheld until after the proposed consultant contract has been reviewed and approved by the FAA or the FAA has determined review of the contract is not necessary in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 35 of this advisory circular. 22 Chap 3 Par 38
