Q2. With the personnel being Temporary, are they permitted to earn vacation hours?

A2. They are in accordance with the rules of the

DOL Service Contract Act. It is up to the contractor to pay the employees for holidays and vacation days. The Government is only allowed to pay for actual hours worked.

Q3. Will the personnel be working over 32 hours per week?

A3. Since the positions are not known at this time, the hours they are to work are also not known at this time.

Q4. Does "applicable wage" include the rate as stated per ATT1 Sample SCA Wages plus statutory costs (i.e., FUTA, SUTA, WC, UI, etc.) plus fringe benefits (i.e. holidays and any paid time off such as vacation for employees that quality per the SCA)?

A4. Applicable wage is the wage rate for the position that is being procured by the contractor. The position wages + Health &

Welfare rate of $4.02 = the applicable wage. Any other cost such as Fringe benefits, taxes, etc., are the responsibility of the contractor to handle accordingly.

Q5. If the statutory and fringe are not included should they be rolled into the markup/overhead rate?

A5. Anything other than the position wage + H&W of $4.02 should be included in your markup/overhead rate.

Q6. What is the average # of day's for each fulfillment?

A6. Information unknown. Each position has a different # of days and hours to work.

Q7. What is the average head count of each role?

A7. If you are asking how many of each position we usually fill, 99% of the positions are only 1 person per request.
