Questions 2

1. Is the contractor required to provide a replacement employee when the primary is out due to vacation or illness?

No, unless extended periods of absence (two weeks or more)

2. Should the number of hours being quoted be reduced from 2080 due to time out for Federal Holidays and vacation?

Yes, the amount of hours that should be bid on is now 1920.

3. In previous question responses, the Government stated that the current employee does not have to be retained. Is the existing contract an SCA contract? This is pertinent because if so, we must give first right of refusal to the incumbent employee.
