B-210103 1 (1983-05-25)

handle is hein.gao/gaobadlci0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 4~,,LX ~THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OECISION • . OF THE UNITED BTATUE WSHINGTON. 0.C. 20548 FILE: DATE: B-210103 May 25, 1983 MATTER OF: Agency for International Development-- Request for Decision DIGEST: Personal services contractor under contract funded by Agency for International Develop- ment claims reimbursement for temporary lodging based upon the contract rate of $66 per day for each family member. Although the agency suggests that the contract rate was intended as a maximum amount and that only actpal expenses should be reimbursed (subject to the maximum), the contractor should be reimbursed the amount claimed, since the contract provision governing the temporary lodging allowance clearly author- izes reimbursement based on the flat rate. This is in response to a request from a certify- ing officer of the Agency for International Develop- ment (AID) for a decision concerning the propriety of reimbursing Dr. G. Johnson $12,936 for 49 days of temporary lodging incurred by Dr. Johnson, his wife and two children. Dr. Johnson is a personal services contractor employed by the Asian Institute of Tech- nology in Bangkok, Thailand, and the contract is funded by AID. We believe the claim should be paid. Section 28 of the contract concerns allowances for local expenses. Section 28(a) provides: *a. Temporary Lodging Allowance Only authorized upon initial arrival in Thailand not to exceed 3 months and upon final departure from Thailand not to exceed one month. * * * US $66.00 per day for each member of the family 11 years of age or over, US $33.50 per day for each member of the family under 11 years of age.
