This methodology is generally used in projects in which it is not possible to accurately estimate the size of the project, or when it is expected that the project requirements would most likely change. As a general business practice, these contracts include back-up documentation of costs; invoices would include number of hours worked and billing rate by position (and not company (or subcontractor) timekeeping or payroll records), material or equipment invoices, and other reimbursable documentation for the project. -, ••—•••• e e .. - .. ..... . . .:.. : - e - :e t _ - ee — l! - • - -• e- -9 - •- - - •e• - •-: a- •• a '• a -- e- e. .. -et carton, etc.). •- •. •'-- ••- - .e7.• l •- - •• e _: - •e •- • - ••e: e _ •..
