The determination of qualifications and decision to hire an incumbent employee rests solely with the Offeror.

The Offeror (including subcontractors, joint venture associates, and/or any other type of teaming partner) shall provide in its offer at least a substantially equivalent pay and benefits package in aggregate as described in the proposal preparation instructions. The current benefits package and average of current labor rates are available for review in the DOE ORO Public Reading Room located at 230 Warehouse Road, Suite 300, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and also as Attachments 7 and 8 to Section L of the RFP. In addition, the Leave Accrual Rates for incumbent employees are provided as Attachment 9 to Section L of the RFP.
