AGREEMENTS define formal arrangements between the Corps on Engineers and its customers/partners. 

      •         Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)

–        A “conditional agreement” where the transfer of funds for services are anticipated.

•         Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

–        Defines “general area of understanding” within both parties authority and no transfer of funds for services is anticipated.

Below are examples of USACE agreements to use in developing new MOA/MOUs for specific customers.  The details (scope and cost data) must be addressed in Support Agreements, once the agreement has been bilaterally approved.  Engineer Form 4914-R (or reasonable facsimile) may be used to develop these agreements: Engineering Form 4914-R (fillable pdf).
