B.5.1 Time-and-Materials Pricing

1) T&M Ceiling Rates Attachment J-1, Labor Rate Tables, specifies the maximum fixed hourly rate for each labor category that the Contractor may charge under this contract. All TOs issued on a T&M basis are subject to the maximum labor rates set forth in Attachment J-1, Labor Rate Tables. The maximum labor rates in Attachment J-1, Page B-1
