Each project will be a firm fixed price A-E Contract. The Government will determine the delivery order amount by applying the negotiated rates with the proposed effort required to complete a particular project. The contract shall not exceed twelve months or $500,000.00 total fee, which ever comes first. The Government guarantees a minimum amount of $25,000.00.
