Hourly Rates for Additional Services

Hi Lara,

That's a good question. I would start by looking at what your company expects to see for such additional services. Are these additional services to be performed during the normal workweek, or are they urgent/emergency services to be performed whenever the tasking comes in? Based on your answer, I would then look at who will be performing those services -- existing staff or additional staff, and how much they will be paid for performing them (straight time, premium overtime, shift differential, etc.). I would figure out what the labor cost was actually going to be and then burden it appropriately, including a profit component. That's what I would submit.

Hope this helps.

Lara,

I suggest you ask the contracting officer what is expected.  Since that is who will be receiving the quote, (s)he is the best person to tell you what (s)he needs.
