A Cost Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF) contract is a type of cost-reimbursement contract where the contractor is reimbursed for allowable costs incurred during the project, along with an additional fee that is based on the contractor's performance. The incentive fee is typically structured to encourage cost savings and efficiency, meaning the contractor may receive a higher fee if they complete the project under budget or meet specific performance targets. This contract type aligns the interests of both the contractor and the client, promoting collaboration while controlling costs. However, it also requires careful monitoring to prevent cost overruns.
