What is a Per Diem Consultant and how does the process work?
A consulting firm who is listed on a Per Diem master contract with UK for a yearly “Not-To-Exceed” amount of $100,000. As small projects are established, the project manager recommends a design firm that is listed on the master contract. If approved, the project manager will request a proposal from the firm to perform specific functions on a project. If the proposal is acceptable an “assignment” is made to perform the work. Assignments cannot exceed $50,000 in fee and are generally much less. The total of all assignments to any one firm for a year cannot exceed $100,000. The fee amounts are monitored through the year to insure the $100,000 cap is maintained.
