The contract structure includes a one-year base ordering period with four one-year option periods, requiring five labor categories (Account/Program Manager, Senior Field Engineer/Supervisor, Mechanic/Adjuster, Elevator Construction Mechanic, and Helper) with specified hourly rates to be provided by contractors in the pricing submission.

The preliminary pricing sheet allocates 1,000 hours per labor category for price evaluation purposes, though final contract value has not been disclosed in this sources sought phase.
