-3- Petitioner's Contracts with FBO During the late 1970's and early 1980's, petitioner rendered architectural services to FBO on an "as needed" basis under a labor hour contract for various FBO projects in Brazil. He signed his first personal service contract (PSC) with FBO in 1983, and has been performing services solely for FBO since that time. His subsequent contracts with FBO have been renewed, modified, or renegotiated on an annual basis. On March 6, 1984, petitioner and FBO signed a contract designating petitioner as the project manager2 with respect to the improvements and repairs at the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, Turkey, and other U.S. foreign service posts. Petitioner worked in Turkey for a number of years under modified versions of this PSC. In July 1988, he was transferred from Turkey to Bogota. Petitioner's contract with FBO, as in effect during 1989, states in part: "The Project Manager will inspect construction, improvements and/or repairs at project sites and will be directly responsible to FBO in the performance of his duties under this contract." The contract provides that petitioner will "Perform appropriate functions and obligations in accordance with procedures or other directives issued by the Contracting Officer or his designee." 2 The term "project manager" and "project director" are used interchangeably herein.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Next
