The ERU/PSU Lead Training Mentor shall communicate regularly with the INL Director in Monrovia and coordinate efforts with the CO and/or COR, in order to make certain such effort remains within policy objectives as determined by the U.S. Ambassador to Liberia. Such communications and coordination will not involve any change to or expansion of the scope of work, costs, or contractual obligations. If, in the opinion, of the Contractor such communications and technical direction from the COR calls for effort outside the scope of the task order or is inconsistent with the requirements, the Contractor shall notify the CO in writing within ten working days after the receipt of any such instruction. The Contractor shall not proceed with the work affected by the communications and/or technical direction unless and until the Contractor is notified by the CO that such communications and/or technical direction is within the scope of the task order.

This comprehensive training plan will include training standards, timelines, locations, identification of already-available resources, and an itemized list of additional resources necessary for training. In addition, detailed mentoring plans with specific goals and objectives to be reached by ERU/PSU elements with the assistance of an assigned mentor team will be drafted. The ERU/PSU Lead Training Mentor shall help the ERU/PSU to effectively implement this training plan as well as monitor and evaluate the progress and success of ERU/ PSU trainees, ensuring that training standards are followed.
