Description of Operations - (Rev. 1, 08-30-02)

100 - Description of Operations - (Rev. 1, 08-30-02) A1-1213, B1-4213 The following provides short descriptions of each function. Operations are first separated into PM or MIP and then by function into activities. Each function may include multiple activities. A list of activity codes is available in CAFM II. The contractor shall always refer to the General Instructions and/or the BPRs for the most current description of the activities for each function. Once operational costs are segregated into PM or MIP, activities may be reported as either: • An operational functional activity; • A PI activity; or • A special project activity. In addition, as directed by CMS, certain specific costs must be identified and accumulated from one or more of the activities and reported a second time for informational purposes on the Miscellaneous Schedule. (See §160.1.) After the appropriate activity is selected, cost items are reported in categories on the Activity Form in CAFM II. See §90.9 for a description of cost categories. Each activity includes the usual direct and indirect charges associated with it. When staff personnel have more than one area of responsibility, the contractor shall allocate their time and cost equitably to the operations involved. A variety of notification methods will be used to update required cost reporting (i.e., CAFM II "News," the BPRs, and other performance instructions). CAFM II will have a current list of updated activities, including additions or changes in the PI activities, special project activities, functional activities, and informational reporting on the Miscellaneous Schedule.
