This advance will be one quarter of the estimated costs calculated by DOT and submitted no later than February 15th. For budget purposes dollar estimates for DOT personnel at Frobisher to meet USAF forecast requirements will be calculated at the rate of $14,500.00 per man year (See Annex "A").

    2. USAF will be billed monthly for expenditures up to and including March. Expenditures for April, May and June will be billed and charged directly to the USAF advance by DOT; no reimbursement will be made by USAF for these months.
    3. Prior to June 1st, DOT will forecast June expenditures to determine if the balance of the advance will be sufficient; if it is not sufficient an additional advance will be requested by DOT from USAF.
