Acquisition of Staff

Local staff will be acquired using the normal local hiring or assignment process. Position
descriptions and minimum qualifications will be prepared and processed through the normal
channels. The Project Manager coordinates with the resource manager to coordinate staff
assignment and availability.
Consultants and contracted staff will be utilized on the project when local staff does not
possess the necessary qualifications for specific focus areas, or the services are of an urgent or
temporary nature. The process for acquiring consulting contractors is directed by the resource
manager. This process starts with the development of the Statement of Work (SOW) and by
determining the minimum and desired qualifications. The project manager will coordinate with
the project procurement team to select the appropriate contract vehicle, solicit proposals or
offers from the bidder community, coordinates the proposal or offer reviews, schedule vendor
interviews, and participate in the final vendor selection.
