Hobbs Corporation DIGEST: 1. Where there is truly an iniependent contract that does not estbhlish an employer-employee relationship between the agency and the con- tractor as determined in accordance with Chapter 304, Federal Personnel Manual (FPM), section 1-4, payment need not be limited to the highest rate under the General Schedule which is payable by an agency as prescribed in 5 U.S.C. 3109. 2. When contracting for expert or consultant services, which are truly independent contracts (no employer-employee relationship), voucher based 6n purchase order contract may be certi- fied for payment; however, in future formal contract procedures rhould be used. Thio decision is issued pursuant to a request dated May 4, 1978, reference 1386 (520), from William S. Downey, an authorized certifying officer, Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior. The request involves the certification for payment of a voucher representing fees charged for services rendered pursuant to a contract evidenced by a Standard Form 147 (Order for Supplies or Services). The'certifying officer states that the Bureau of Land Management has been rpproached by various individuals and firms seeking to provide various managemert training courses and work- shops. These contractors provide Lie services and materials after being advised by the agency of the goals and objectives to be achieved but develop and present the material without supervision or technical direction by the agency. The fees charged by the contractors for the expert and consultant services often exceed the compensation limitation of 5 U.s.C. 3109. The voucher enclosed with the request represents payment for services to the Charles R. Hobbs Corporation. These services were follow-on consulting and additional workshops conducted in connection with previously given workshops on time management. bp -J a I
