“3.2 ONSITE SUPERVISION OF CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL DESIGNATE AT LEAST ONE (1) INDIVIDUAL TO SERVE AS THE TEAM LEAD (TL) AT EACH FRC LOCATION WHERE SERVICES ARE REQUESTED. IF THE CONTRACTOR DETERMINES IT IS NECESSARY TO ASSIGN ADDITIONAL TEAM LEADS TO ENSURE EFFECTIVE CONTRACT PERFORMANCE AT A PARTICULAR SITE, IT IS THE CONTRACTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION. NARA MAY, AT ITS DISCRETION, REQUIRE A TL BE DESIGNATED AT ANY FRC LOCATION. THE TL RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES ARE:”
