Intermediate Facilities Contracting
Intermediate Facilities Contracting is designed to provide an intensive review for intermediate level
personnel with responsibilities for the full range of the acquisition cycle related to architect-engineer,
construction, and facilities contracting. To accomplish this objective, a student should already have skills
in pre-award and post-award functions, including acquisition planning, source selection, the award
process, day-to-day administration, modifications, acceptance, and remedies. The case study method will
be used to enhance the student's ability to identify and evaluate relevant factors and apply ethical
principles, while analyzing recommended viable alternatives/solutions for contracting "challenges".
Prerequisites: CON 104 or 106.
Length: 10 Class Days
CON 231
Intermediate Contract Pricing
Intermediate Contract Pricing both reinforces pricing skills taught in CON 104 and develops skills in
price analysis, advanced pre-award pricing decisions, post-award pricing decisions, and general contract
pricing issues. The first week of the course is primarily quantitative in nature, focusing on statistical and
economic analysis tools. Students are expected to bring to class and be capable of using a calculator with
an exponential and reciprocal function. Public domain software is used in applying quantitative theory
and in pricing situations. The second week focuses primarily on application of quantitative techniques
and advanced contracting concepts. Students will focus on developing pre-negotiation positions on
proposed indirect cost rates. Students will also develop skills in estimating cost-to-complete, pricing
equitable adjustments (with exercises related to claims and contract modifications), defective pricing, cost
realism analysis, contract types, and contract financial analysis with emphasis on contract financing
considerations. Students are encouraged to call on their unique experiences to provide a basis for
discussion and analyses of relevant contact pricing topics, the application of appropriate pricing principles
and development of workable solutions.
Prerequisites: CON 104, 105 or 106.
Recommended: Personnel who have taken a basic pricing course other than CON 104 should either
complete CON 104 or a basic statistics course prior to attending CON 231.
