Show T--t- Commercial Actiwifiies bid opening set The opening of the bids relating to the Commercial Activities review of the Facilities Engineering and Logistics functions now being performed by 107 civilians and 19 soldiers here will be in the Command Conference Room of Post Headquarters at .1 p.m. Monday, May 24. At the opening, TECOM and Dugway experts will compare the dollar bids of the contractor's with that of the government, record them and identify the low apparent bidder. This comparison is expected to take between 2 Vi and 3 hours because of interpretations and calculations which must be applied to both, and the lowest contractor bid. the At 3:55 personnel who may be affected by the outcome of the opening have been granted administrative leave by the commander to assemble in the post theater to receive the results of the comparisons and the announcement of the apparent low bidder to take place at 4 p.m. Following the announcement, if a contractor is identified as the apparent low bidder, the Civilian Personnel Officer Mr, Witkowski will brief those in attendance on the options in-hou- se available to them. One of those options available only to those personnel specifically affected by Job abolishment, downgrading, etc., is that of "Early Out." Contrary to rumor, Dugway does not now have, nor do we expect to request or receive a blanket early out authorization. Regardless of the award of the contract, an individual seeking early out must meet the eligibility requirements for the early out under normal circumstances which are: be any age and have completed 25 or more years of federal service, or have at least 20 years of federal service, and be at least age 50. Under the latter criteria there is a formula whereby some benefits are lost and Mr. Witkowski will explain further at the 4 p.m. meeting. If the contract apparent low bidder is not the government, this is not the last word on the subject by any means. The procedures to be followed include specific filing deadlines for app.eal of the determination, and the decision is not made at BtrB Dugway. The ultimate decision rests with congress and that is not expected to be until Ati- - Dugway H.S. Seniors to gust .

One of the highlights will be a years summary on sports. employees. i All of the commands and agencies involved will make every possible attempt to lessen the impact of the decision on the employees and help ensure an orderly transition to contract operationshould it occur. The patieqce and understanding of all involved is appreciated throughout the process. If all goea on schedule, and a contractor were to be selected, the change would take ef- D-D- ay fect in November of this year. As information becomes available and is verified, it will be passed along through the Weekly Bulletin, the Sampler, Staff Meetings and in bulletins from the Civilian Personnel Office which should be posted in the work areas.
