be average for determining equipment rates using the schedule unless specified
otherwise by the contracting officer. For equipment not included in the schedule, rates
for comparable pieces of equipment may be used or a rate may be developed using the
formula provided in the schedule. For forward pricing, the schedule in effect at the time
of negotiations shall apply. For retroactive pricing, the schedule in effect at the time the
work was performed shall apply.
(c) Equipment rental costs are allowable, subject to the provisions of FAR
31.105, Construction and Architect-Engineer Contract, and FAR 31.205-36, Rental
Costs. Rates for equipment rented from an organization under common control, lease-
purchase arrangements, and sale-leaseback arrangements, will be determined using
the schedule, except that actual rates will be used for equipment leased from an
organization under common control that has an established practice of leasing the same
or similar equipment or unaffiliated lessees.
(d) When actual equipment costs are proposed and the total amount of the
pricing action exceeds the small purchase threshold, the contracting officer shall
request the contractor to submit either certified cost or pricing data, or partial/limited
data, as appropriate. The data shall be submitted on Standard Form 1411, Contract
Pricing Proposal Cover Sheet.
