Travel and transportation is on an actual basis plus the
cost of G & A at and no profit. The profit factor
is contained within the labor rate.
This pricing rate for labor is only valid if all of the
labor hours are used. In the event of termination or
cancellation of the contract, adjustments will be made in the
hourly rate.
Inasfar as travel is to be on an actual basis with no
profit affixed thereto, it is to be understood the number of
trips shall not exceed eight (8) to each location.
The travel figures are on the basis of eight (8) trips
to each location within the ten-month Period. The logic used
to arrive at eight trips for estimating Purposes is as follows:
In order to effectively provide trouble-free
use of these units, it has been determined that
each oiece of equipment undergo preventive maintenance
not less than four (4)-times within a ton-month
period. The additional four trios stated in the
above are an attempt to cover the contingencies of
cross trips due to possible meior equipment breakdown
or crash program requirements.

of course, this again is only an estimate. However, inasmuch
as travel is to be recovered on an actual basis with no profit,
it is to be recognized that if the trips are not made, there
will be no recovery. In the event that this estimate is not
sufficient and the number of trios far exceeds eight, I would
like to consider all in exc~ss as a change to the contract.
The total number of man-hours is based on the following:
a. Two man-months of effectively non-productive time for the
trainee, who is to be a contract hire.
b. Four man-months in the field are represented by two
months of a trair,pr's time and two months of a trainee's
time. The balance of time is to cover the individual who
is to be trained, or trainee. This will be the actual
time that he, the trainee, spends performing preventive
maintenance at each of the various locations.
The two months of non-productive time is included due
to security requirements. We are estimating that it
will take aooroximately sixty days to clear this
individual. Clearance cannot he started until the
individual is hired, and he may not heclin training
until clearance is received. Further, since ITS does
not have either of thm items of equipment readily
available, the individual will have to be trained on the
job at one of your facilities. If, however, the clearance
is received in less time than we anticieate, an adjustment
will be made in the total number of hours used.
The rate was prepared in detail, and I have taken necessary steps
to orovide your auditor with a copy of the techniques employed to arrive
at this rate. I hope that the aforementioned meets with your approval.
Very truly yours,
STATINTL
