This new 4-hour analogical, role-playing course focused on contract and site management. During the<br />
course, participants were assigned to play various roles on teams to fulfill team and individual goals. The<br />
roles played by the participants bear remarkable similarities to those found on a typical site, such as<br />
<strong>OSC</strong>s, the START members, the ERRS response managers, and others. Although some good-natured<br />
competition among the teams occurred, the objective of the exercise was to reach the goal within the time<br />
frame of the course. The students carefully went through the process of gaining approval (the Action<br />
Memorandum), tasking the contractor, providing oversight and approving work, documenting costs,<br />
addressing applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements, and more — with all these steps assessed<br />
from the perspectives of different roles and goals.<br />
Participants of this course who were warranted <strong>OSC</strong>s and CO’s Technical Representatives received 4<br />
hours of training toward the contract training requirements of the Clinger-Cohen Act (Maloney Bill).<br />
