FEMA handles fixed-cost offers forprojects by engaging qualified professionals to develop or review costestimates, transmitting the offers to applicants for consideration, consideringthe fixed-cost offer as an Alternative Procedures Project if accepted,obligating the fixed-cost amount, not adjusting the fixed amount for hiddendamage, adjusting the fixed estimate for insurance proceeds before projectclosure, and adjusting funding based on actual eligible costs at closeout. During the Scoping and Costing phase,FEMA reviews applicant-provided information to develop or validate the Scope ofWork and cost estimate, ensuring compliance with requirements and determiningcost eligibility. Additionally, FEMA works with applicants to agree ondisaster-related damage descriptions, emergency protective measures, and debrisimpacts before finalizing the Scope of Work. If a project exceeds $1 million andfunds are not needed for more than 180 days, FEMA follows the Strategic FundsManagement process for fund obligation.
