F.3 PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

5.1.1. The majority of work will be performed on-site at USCENTCOM Headquarters in Tampa, Florida. A requirement will exist for contractor staff to attend meetings in CONUS and OCONUS on a recurring basis. OCONUS travel will not always be at a USCENTCOM site, but will be in the USCENTCOM Area of Operation.

F.4 HOURS OF OPERATION

The Contractor will ensure coverage from 0700-1700 with core duty hours from 0900-1500, including a minimum of 30 minute lunch break, with flexible coverage beyond that Monday through Friday except Federal holidays or when the government facility is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government directed facility closings. Work may be performed outside of normal duty day and normal duty week to allow for time differences between the USCENTCOM AOR and MacDill AFB and to accommodate senior government leadership scheduling constraints. The Contractor must at all times maintain an adequate workforce for the uninterrupted performance of all tasks defined within this PWS when the Government facility is not closed for the above reasons. When hiring personnel, the Contractor shall keep in mind that the stability and continuity of the workforce are essential.

All contract personnel are required to predict out additional work hours that may be required beyond the standard eight-hour workday. These work hours must be approved, prior to being worked, by both the Contractor PM and the COR via a form provided by the Contractor. Forms are to be completed at least one week prior to the use of additional hours. It is expected that all due diligence will be made to complete work within the standard eight-hour workday. Additional work hours will be approved after the fact only on a case-by-case basis; do not assume that the COR and Government Supervisor will automatically approve additional work hours after the fact.
