| Question | Date Asked | Answer | Date Answered |
| What is the differentiator between trimmer 1, 2, and 3? | 3/18/2025 3:13:44 PM | This is based on the Employee’s Classification during their regular work assignments. | 3/21/2025 2:52:51 PM |
| Is the term of the agreement 1 year from the inception or December 31, 2026? | 3/18/2025 3:13:52 PM | One (1) year from inception, or until a new agreement has been signed by both parties. | 3/21/2025 2:52:18 PM |
| Should we include safety reps as a billable classification or have their cost included in the other rates? | 3/18/2025 3:13:56 PM | SECO will not approve any billed time for Safety Representatives. | 3/21/2025 2:51:43 PM |
| Since FEMA does not reimburse standby time, can SECO provide clarity on when and how standby time will be authorized and minimized? | 3/18/2025 3:14:01 PM | Stand-by time refers to the time after the contractor has been checked in and before storm restoration begins. During this time, the contractor is responsible to maintain contact with a SECO representative for instructions and work assignments. The contractor must check in with their SECO representative at least twice daily, (morning & afternoon) during stand-by time billing. If the contractor maintains contact with a SECO representative during stand-by all billed time will be approved. | 3/21/2025 2:49:51 PM |
