ATTACHMENT A STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

PCMEDICS TRAINING CONFERENCE
1.0
BACKGROUND
President Kennedy formed the Peace Corps with an executive order on March 1, 1961, and Congress
authorized it on September 22, 1961 with passage of the Peace Corps Act. Since its founding, more than
210,000 Americans have served as Peace Corps Volunteers in 139 developing countries that request
assistance. The Peace Corps mission is to promote world peace and friendship through service to others.
PCMEDICS is Peace Corps' global electronic medical records (EMR) system. The intent for PCMEDICS
is to provide a tool to capture information on the health care delivered overseas by Peace Corps Medical
Officers (PCMOs) and US-based Peace Corps clinical staff and to provide a database by which Peace
Corps may assess the quality of care and business processes through data and reporting. The success of
PCMEDICS implementation is predicated upon the understanding of the user base and a critical
component is the transition from paper records to electronic records. Peace Corps is developing a
comprehensive, role-based training program to be implemented in six (6) Continuing Medical Education
(CME) Conferences in 2015. This CME conference will be unique because of the emphasis on improving
each PCMOs proficiency with the PCMEDICS system in addition to providing continuing medical
training on clinical issues. By the end of the training, staff will be able to use PCMEDICS and will be
prepared to incorporate the tool into their daily business practices.

(A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C.
6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax

the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the
underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to
contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax
liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax
liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.
(C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C.
6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with
the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not
currently required to make full payment.

delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362
(the Bankruptcy Code).

VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor or

4.174)
THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE

FOLLOWING:
1) Rates are applicable only under the appropriate occupational category.
** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **
If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract
(either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state
or local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (by
laundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by
an employee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the
wage determination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance
with the following standards as compliance:
The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with an
adequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the
actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance
is made the responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors
subject to this wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide
collective bargaining agreement providing for a different amount, or the
furnishing of contrary affirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all
employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67
cents per day). However, in those instances where the uniforms furnished are
Page 2 of 4

made of "wash and wear" materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other
personal garments, and do not require any special treatment such as dry
cleaning, daily washing, or commercial laundering in order to meet the
cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms of the Government contract,
by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work, there is no requirement
that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.
The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the
"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fifth Edition, April 2006,
unless otherwise indicated. Copies of the Directory are available on the
Internet. A links to the Directory may be found on the WHD home page at
http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/ or through the Wage Determinations On-Line (WDOL)
Web site at http://wdol.gov/.
REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE {Standard
Form 1444 (SF 1444)}
Conformance Process:
The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which
is not listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the
work to be performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wage
determination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonable
relationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlisted
classifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination. Such
conformed classes of employees shall be paid the monetary wages and furnished
the fringe benefits as are determined. Such conforming process shall be
initiated by the contractor prior to the performance of contract work by such
unlisted class(es) of employees. The conformed classification, wage rate, and/or
fringe benefits shall be retroactive to the commencement date of the contract.
{See Section 4.6 (C)(vi)} When multiple wage determinations are included in a
contract, a separate SF 1444 should be prepared for each wage determination to
which a class(es) is to be conformed.
The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:
1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformed
occupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).
2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in
order proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for
each proposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed
wage rate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of
the authorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no
authorized representative, the employees themselves. This report should be
submitted to the contracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted
class(es) of employees performs any contract work.
3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a
report of the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinent
information including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the
Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of
Labor, for review. (See section 4.6(b)(2) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 4).
4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, or

6) The contractor informs the affected employees.
Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF 1444 or bond
paper.
When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory of
Occupations" (the Directory) should be used to compare job definitions to insure
that duties requested are not performed by a classification already listed in
the wage determination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required
tasks that determine whether a class is included in an established wage
determination. Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or
subdivide classifications listed in the wage determination.
