Labor Hour Contract Fixed Rate for Labor Category


Recommended Posts

Could you please elaborate; are you referring to multiple rates for one person or position?

By position/labor category.  The contract has several administrative assistant positions, which are specifically covered under the SCA, but some positions have different hourly rates. 

The SCA rates are minimums, aren’t they? I don’t see why there couldn’t be multiple contract rates. Is this a negotiated contract or is there only one line/subline item for admin assistant positions in a solicitation?

Yes, the SCA WD rates are the minimum to which the contractor proposed well above that amount.  It’s a sole-source effort and I’m in the process of negotiating hourly rates, but the Contractor is holding strong though.  
All the positions are lumped under one CLIN, so I plan on including a table with the negotiated rates for each labor category which is why I wanted to know if one labor category could have multiple rates.

I presume that there will be multiple individuals who occupy the administrative assistant position.  How will you determine which individual is paid at what rate?

I’ve seen two different ways of handling this.  One is used a blended rate which essentially is an average of all positions.  It’s often used when internally you have multiple job titles for the work.  The other is creating sub LCATs like Admin1, Admin2, etc. 

A recent example is conference support where the same labor category (admin support) performed multiple duties of varying complexity.  The positions did things like participant registration, distributing materials, capturing speaker comments, preparing presentations and slide decks, operating equipment, etc.  and different rates were associated with each.  The contractor had separate billings for each and the government liked it.

It’s negotiated contract pricing. I wouldn’t necessarily have a problem with the contractor proposing different salaries for the different persons, with separate pricing.
