Explanations

Contract expenditure in base date dollars has not been provided. Defence's financial management system, ROMAN, maintains authoritative data on the total amount expended against the project and related contracts, but this project does not manage ROMAN transactions in a way that facilitates separation into base date and variation payments against individual contracts in that system.

Due the age of the project, this project originally recorded payments in DEFMIS, a financial management system that has since been superseded by Defence's current ROMAN system.

Note that Performance Incentive Fee was Outside Original Contract Price and Current Contract Price and Payment Schedule and therefore not included in the total contract price detailed above.

The contract price at 30 June 2009 includes the cost of ship concurrent planned maintenance availabilities (ship repair). These costs are met by in-service support funds.
