It consists of several worksheets: the IGCE Summary Worksheet provides an overview of direct labor and other costs for both base and option years; the Labor Details Worksheet captures specific labor rates and categories aligned with required tasks; the Other Direct Costs Worksheet lists additional costs such as materials and travel; and the Labor Categories Worksheet categorizes labor types and rates for various time periods. The document specifically outlines the procurement for Facilities Maintenance Services at the USAGM Philippines, detailing the project title, expected contract type (firm fixed price), and period of performance from May 1, 2025, to April 30, 2026.
