FL. State Agency negotiations BATES, JAMES L. 02 May 1996 10:13 EST

We are presently negotiating a cost reimbursable subcontract with the
Florida Institute of Phosphate Research (FIPR).  FIPR is requiring
copies of source documents such as payroll detail, vendors invoices
for supplies, and travel vouchers.  We find this requirement
adminstratively burdensome.  FIPR is fully funded by state severance
taxes and, therefore, the subcontract is not federal flow through funds.
Has anyone successfully negotiated invoicing requirements with the FIPR
or any Florida state agency funded through nonfederal funds that
relaxes the required documentation?  I would appreciate any suggestions.
Please respond by e-mail directly to xxxxxx@lsumvs.sncc.lsu.edu or you
may contact me at (504) 388-3386.
