The document outlines a pricing schedule for non-personal services, likely part of a federal, state, or local Request for Proposal (RFP) or grant. It details line items for non-personal services, including a monthly rate of 160 hours and a separate rate for standby services. The schedule emphasizes that the listed hours are estimates and do not guarantee orders of those quantities, preventing equitable price adjustments based on unfulfilled estimates.
