Termination for Convenience Settlement Proposal Consultants

Settling the termination for convenience of a prime contract or subcontract can be complex.  Most interestingly, the rules covering termination for convenience settlements provide considerable opportunities to maximize recovery on terminations when they are properly documented and presented in a termination for convenience settlement proposal. There are a wide variety of types of costs that can be legitimately included in a termination for convenience settlement proposal where such costs in other proposals would not be allowable (e.g. idle capacity, direct charges of normal indirect costs, precontract costs).  In addition the documentation requirements are less strict than those that might be required under an incurred cost proposal.  Under most circumstances, our fees are 100% reimbursable by the government.
