Question # 8

Question PWS paragraph 1.4.4, Place of Performance, page 2, states that telecommuting is authorized. However, PWS paragraph 1.4.16, Telework, page 9, states telework is not anticipated for this requirement. Please confirm which is accurate.

Answer The intent is to allow the successful vendor the ability to conduct this contract from their home office. There are required teleconferences to review progress as specified in the PWS.
