[RG1]Not sure a contracts manager does this.  This is finance, Program managers and technical

[CD2]I will alter language a little, our contract manager must track costs, schedule and performance related to the contracts they manage. Each of our contract managers are tracking how much $ they are giving each sub, how much we’ve been given by the government, etc. In addition, when there are questions regarding schedule or performance, our contracts managers are involved to ensure that everything is in alliance with our contract.

[RG3]I don’t think contract managers do these topics.  Recommend we remove some of these items

[CD4]Adjusted language but this is part of the job. I am running it by Fran this morning.

[RG5]Not sure if 8 years is really required.  We can leave it but not sure if it is going to limit responses

[RG6]This part is addressed above (two bullets earlier)

[RG7]The contracts manager really does not manage the subcontractor’s performance.  That is the Pm,.  Recommend to remove this bullet

[RG8]We need to add something here- strong knowledge of IP rights

[RG9]We can probably remove this. Contracts just needs to deal with Word.  Very rarely will they need powerpoint or even excel
