No Excuse Bonus (Locked Incentive Date)

 

Description
A Locked Incentive Date (LID) contract, also known as a “no excuse bonus”, offers contractors an incentive for reaching a project milestone.   Unlike traditional incentives, the LID does not allow a contractor to receive a time extension and receive the incentive payment.  The LID also requires the contractor to waive all claims if they accept the incentive.

 

Use of the LID requires approval from OCIC (see Project Screening Checklist and Form below).
