Numerous engineering, architecture and construction firms have jumped into state and federal work in hopes of earning a profit on large contracts. But is your firm aware that Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) direct both how government agencies contract services and how contractors fulfill them?
Finding out too late about the requirements under FAR can result in lost bid opportunities, having to repay funds, being at a higher risk of a governmental agency audit or being unprepared for last minute, required audits. An error in a few percentage points of your calculated rate has the potential to greatly impact your overall job profit.
