AT HAMMER

DESCRIPTION OF WORK:

DESCRIPTION OF WORK – SPECIFIC

Training Services

The Subcontractor shall provide driver/shipper/supervisor training classes. The
CHPRC may schedule the training and the Subcontractor shall bill MSA
according to this subcontract.
The training required meets all Hanford site requirements including HNF-PRO-
37561, current revision, and the Washington State Department of Transportation
requirements for Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) drivers possessing a
Commercial Motor Vehicle License and participating in the CMV program.
Subcontractor shall provide qualified individuals to provide instructor support for
classes associated with this statement of work.

The Subcontractor will submit billing to the Buyer for hours spent associated with
each authorized activity that the instructor participated. The billing shall list the
activity descriptor (course number or other descriptor), date that the instructor
participated, and the number of hours worked on behalf of the Buyer.

Course Materials:

Buyer will maintain all related course documentation, such as Lesson Plan, Slide
Presentation, Study Guide, etc. The Buyer will provide facility space, props, and
all classroom materials.

Subcontractor instructors are allowed to editorially adjust the content of the text
(i.e., side notes, etc.), provided the change does not technically alter the course
material. Any technical changes to the course material will be made and
approved by the Buyer. Subcontractor instructors will be provided information on
changes to course curriculum by the HAMMER/Hanford Training Technical Point
of Contact (POC) or designee.

Instructor Support:

The POC or designee will determine the number and schedule of training
sessions to be provided. After the sessions are set, at any time, the POC may
add additional sessions or cancel existing sessions. If new sessions are added
to the schedule, Subcontractor will be alerted as soon as possible that additional
support is needed. Subcontractor shall confirm (with the POC) the ability to
support additional sessions being scheduled within two working days.

Subcontractor instructors are expected to acquire training materials from the
HAMMER/Hanford Training Logistics group and report to the classroom at least
30 minutes prior to the start of class to ensure that the classroom, equipment and
course documents are in order.

Subcontractor instructors shall provide training in accordance with approved
training materials. Technical deviation from approved training materials is not
allowed without prior approval from the POC.

Subcontractor instructors shall request all students fill out a course evaluation
form. The originals shall be given to the HAMMER/Hanford Training Logistics
personnel or POC.

Subcontractor instructors shall coordinate any special room setup arrangements
with the POC, a minimum of ten (10) days in advance of scheduled training
dates.

Subcontractor instructors shall coordinate all curriculum content and delivery
schedule with the POC.

In the event that classes are cancelled, Buyer will notify the Subcontractor of the
cancellation. The Buyer will not be billed for instructor time associated with the
cancelled classes if the cancellation is made five (5) or more business days in
advance of the scheduled class date. Should a scheduled class be cancelled
within the five (5) business day window, the Subcontractor may submit a request
for equitable adjustment that will be reviewed by the Buyer on a case-by-case
basis.

Subcontractor instructors may be invited to participate in instructor enhancement
activities. Subcontractor instructors seeking to participate in such events shall
notify the POC prior to the meeting date far enough in advance that approval
from the Buyer can be authorized.

Student:

Enrollments and Billing:

Student enrollments and billing of students will be performed by the Buyer.

Subcontractor is not authorized to make enrollments or collect billing for
HAMMER/ Hanford Training classes. Inquiries as to class availability must be
referred to HAMMER/Hanford Training Logistics personnel or the POC.

Rosters and Training Records:

HAMMER/Hanford Training Logistics will produce the Course Completion Roster
(CCR) and/or Training Completion Record (TCR) for each class/student. Official
class rosters can be made available to instructors one or two days before the
scheduled session if requested; otherwise the CCR/TCR will be included with
class materials the day of the class.

Subcontractor instructors shall request those who attend the course to sign the
course roster (provided by HAMMER/Hanford Training Logistics). The instructor
shall indicate any students who did not successfully complete the course on a
post-it note or a separate piece of paper and attach to the roster. The roster will
be put in an envelope and turned in to HAMMER/Hanford Training Logistics or
given to the HAMMER/Hanford Training Technical POC at the completion of
class.

Completed rosters are to be submitted to HAMMER/Hanford Training Logistics
prior to the Close of Business on the given class date if possible. If not possible
to submit rosters on the same day, the completed rosters shall be submitted to
HAMMER/Hanford Training Logistics no later than the next business day after
the date of the class.

In some cases, HAMMER/Hanford Training Logistics will produce individualized
Training Completion Records that list the required evaluations for the student
based on the individual’s training plan or company policy. Instructors shall
provide evaluations for each student based on the TCR provided by
HAMMER/Hanford Training Logistics. Instructors shall not make changes or
adjustments to the required evaluations without prior approval from the POC (or
designee).

If an instructor receives a request from a student or believes that there is a need
to deviate from established technical training plans, the instructor shall contact
the POC for approval.

If a “walk-in” arrives for a class, HAMMER/Hanford Training Logistics staff shall
be contacted to verify that training prerequisites are met and that the proper
student materials/evaluations are identified. Walk-ins shall be permitted to attend
the class while HAMMER/Hanford Training Logistics personnel make the
appropriate verifications (typically completed within the first hour of class).
HAMMER/Hanford Training Logistics shall provide notification to the instructor
whether or not the student has met the class prerequisites and/or other
requirements to remain in the session.

      the approved Health and Safety Plan for each course. If a safety concern is
      raised or if a deviation to the approved safety plan is observed or anticipated,

      HAMMER Operations immediately.

     Instructors shall conduct all HAMMER/Hanford Training related work in
      accordance with approved MSA/HAMMER procedures and policies.
