The Govt. will evaluate labor category selected to ensure consistency with the knowledge, experience, and skills to perform as required in the PWS.

No. Pricing should include up to 16 hours/month or 192 hrs/year of overtime.

14. Can the Government confirm if there is a requirement for a contract manager to be onsite for the performance of this contract? If an onsite contract manager is required, we request additional information about the requirements, duties, and qualifications for this individual.

PERSEC contracted employees?
