In addition, and in accordance with current Department policy, if FCCM is specifically identified in the cost proposals relating to the contract under which the cost is to be claimed, the audited FCCM rate of 0.15 percent should be used for construction inspection projects and 0.19 percent for all other projects, respectively. The combined overhead rate of 148.65 percent and FCCM rate of 0.17 percent may be used for settle-up schedule purposes, only going forward for contracts funded with your combined rate. The overhead rates proposed on this overhead letter expire on July 1, 2024. These rates are subject to audit verification. Our acceptance of these rates does not extend beyond contracts with the New Jersey Department of Transportation.
