Work Element 194: Income-Producing Activities - Published

Basics

WE Name:
194. Income-Producing Activities (IPA)
Work Category:
Other
WE Agreement Type:
Contracted
Status:
Active
Owner:
Virginia Preiss
Definition:
Includes all benefits and income-producing activity taking place on, or associated with property purchased with BPA funds. Benefits are actions that take place (such as grazing contractor-owned cattle) which have value to the recipient, but for which income is not received by the contractor. Income (including interest) must be placed in a separate account for this project, and not intermingled with other funds. Benefits, Income and a Spending Plan must be documented in a stand-alone report.

The Work Element Budget for this WE should reflect all costs, including indirect, required to administer all benefits, income-producing actions and completion of a Spending Plan for which the contractor requests BPA reimbursement as part of this contract.

Associated Work Elements

  • Various. Benefit actions or any Income Account – supported actions that were previously approved by the COTR (during the previous contract that are implemented in this contract). These actions will be specified as part of the subsequent SOW as separate WE (so as to document BPA’s agreement as to what Income Account funds will be spent on, and to capture any metrics for work accomplished). Because BPA will not reimburse the contractor for this work under the contract, WE budgets for work supported by the Income Account will be zero.

Potential Deliverables

Deliverable Status:
Required
Default Deliverable Desc:
Potential Deliverables:
  • Income Production Report
  • Benefit/Income/Spending Report
    Stand alone report. Cannot be part of the annual Progress Report. Purpose of the report is to document benefits, income, and plan subsequent spending.
    This report includes 3 sections:
    1) Benefits for which the contractor may not receive any monetary amount, but which provide benefit to the contractor (an estimate of the value of grazing exercised by the contractor, or other party on the property, for which the contractor is not reimbursed, e.g., grazing by contractor-owned cattle), or benefits or reimbursement with a non-monetary benefit (e.g., traded for something of value) that the contractor does receive (e.g., crop share for 60% of the alfalfa harvest).
    2) Actual income. Describe the income that was actually received from previous activities, and how it was calculated. Include any income from penalties, interest, etc.
    3) Spending Plan to use funds out of the Income Account during the subsequent contract period. Provide a Spending Plan that describes the work that is planned to be accomplished in a subsequent contract, at a high level, and provide the budget (included in the report) with similar details as the regular contract budget.
    See the “BPA Fish and Wildlife website for contractors” for a template for this Benefits/Income/Spending Report. Actual approval of the Spending Plan is subject to agreement by the BPA COTR.
    SPECIAL NOTE: Any benefit or income-producing activity that is agreed to with a third party may require environmental compliance approval before it can proceed. This includes actions for which no compensation is received by the contactor (if they are not covered under another WE in the SOW, in which case such actions will be reviewed there). Contact your EC Lead and COTR.
