Contractor’s Key Personnel The Contractor shall use adequate numbers of qualified individuals with suitable training, education, experience and skill to perform the Services.

Substitution or replacement of the individuals and/or firms identified in Exhibit F is not allowed except with written approval of the AOC If the designated lead or key person fails to perform to the satisfaction of the AOC upon written notice, the Contractor will have fifteen (15) calendar days to remove that person from the Project and replace that person with one acceptable to the AOC. All lead or key personnel for any Subcontractor must also be designated by any Subcontractor and are subject to all conditions stated in this section. The Contractor shall be responsible for all costs associated with replacing any of Contractor’s Key Personnel, including the additional costs to familiarize replacement personnel with the Services.

If the Contractor’s performance remains unsatisfactory, the AOC may, without limitation, terminate this Agreement for cause or impose other penalties as specified in this Agreement.
