<p> Checklist for Supplemental Accounting System Questionnaire (SASQ)</p><p>Unlimited Contracting Status:</p><p>The Unlimited Contracting status is required by ODOT for firms that are either: (a) currently a party to any contract providing for payment under the Actual Costs Plus a Net Fee (cost-plus) method, or (b) anticipate entering into a contract using the cost-plus method in the current year.</p><p>Note: A significant number of ODOT consultant contracts are written using the cost-plus method. Generally, ODOT requires that the Prime Consultant must use the same, consistent contracting method with all Subconsultants as ODOT uses with the Prime Consultant; however, for certain types of work, it may be acceptable to reimburse subconsultants using a negotiated unit rate or hourly rate. In these situations, the Consultant and Subconsultant must obtain a written waiver from ODOT to use a different contracting method. Rates determined under these agreements are subject to review and approval by the ODOT Office of Consultant Services.</p><p>For Consultants requesting Unlimited Contracting Status, the following must be completed and submitted annually: I.
