Be careful:

"If a party has a record retention policy, it is appropriate for the court
to determine "whether the policy is reasonable considering the facts and
circumstances surrounding the relevant documents," or whether it was
instituted in bad faith. Lewy v. Remington Arms Co., 836 F.2d 1104, 1112
(8th Cir. 1988).Even if the court finds the policy to be reasonable given
the nature of the documents subject to the policy, the court may find that
under the particular circumstances  [**46] certain documents should have
been retained notwithstanding the policy.* For example, if [a party] knew or
should have known that the documents would become material at some point in
the future then such documents should have been preserved. Thus a [party]
cannot blindly destroy documents and expect to be shielded by a seemingly
innocuous document retention policy.Gumbs v. Int'l Harvester, Inc., 718 F.2d
88, 96 (3d Cir. 1983).* Therefore, "[o]nce a party reasonably anticipates
litigation, it must suspend its routine document retention/destruction
policy and put in place a 'litigation hold' to ensure the preservation of
relevant documents." Zubulake v. UBS Warburg LLC, 220 F.R.D. 212, 218
(S.D.N.Y. 2003)."

44. HN5"Sanctions are appropriate when there is evidence that a party's
spoliation threatens the integrity of [the court]." Mosaid, 348 F. Supp. 2d
at 335. Sanctions serve three functions: a remedial function (by restoring
the aggrieved party to its original position), a punitive function, and a
deterrent function. Id.

From:    Carolyn Elliott-Farino <xxxxxx@KENNESAW.EDU>
Subject: applicabiltiy of J 10 under FAR fixed price contract

Okay, perhaps a stupid question, but this is not something I have
encountered before. We have a fixed price contract governed by the FAR.
Are we bound by A-21? I understand that we are supposed to use A-21 in
pricing our proposal (The principles shall also be used as a guide in the

pricing of fixed price or lump sum agreements.), but generally with fixed
price, you have to get the work done for the price you proposed and the
gov't doesn't look at your expenditures. How does this play with
supplemental compensation paid to a faculty member that normally would not
be allowable under A-21? I have an overload request and normally it would
be easy to just refer to A-21 J10 and use those guidelines and say no, but
would that be a rush to hasty judgment?

Thanks.

Carolyn

TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM

 CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION

Sec. 31.102  Fixed-price contracts.

 The applicable subparts of part 31 shall be used in the pricing of

fixed-price contracts, subcontracts, and modifications to contracts and

subcontracts whenever (a) cost analysis is performed, or (b) a fixed-

price contract clause requires the determination or negotiation of

costs. However, application of cost principles to fixed-price contracts

and subcontracts shall not be construed as a requirement to negotiate

agreements on individual elements of cost in arriving at agreement on

the total price. The final price accepted by the parties reflects

agreement only on the total price. Further, notwithstanding the

mandatory use of cost principles, the objective will continue to be to

negotiate prices that are fair and reasonable, cost and other factors

considered.

 (a) All Federal agencies that sponsor research and development,

provisions of appendix A to this part in determining the costs incurred

for such work. The principles shall also be used as a guide in the

pricing of fixed price or lump sum agreements. (Sec. Appendix A to Part
