Section Paragraph Question Response

pp. 69‐71 Ar cle L.1 General

c. Level of Effort

We no ced for Ar cle L.1 General c Level of Effort

(pp. 69‐71) that the labor hours for base period plus op on period 1‐9; Op onal LOE; and all Elec ve Op ons increase incrementally each year.

Is it intended to have the increase occur this way for each op on? It reads to us like we’ll need 1‐2 FTEs to start and then increase by a percent FTE each year therea er. In our experience, the cost of an FTE would incrementally increase through the life of the contract but the Level of Effort (hours) would not. Could you clarify this increase, please?
