            All,

 

            On the authorization and direction given me from HDC below, I negotiated a schedule with Mr. Albright yesterday.  In conjunction with this schedule, I also negotiated his price down from his initial offer of $21,650 to $16,002 and still got the essence of what Rod wants.  I have determined this price to be fair and reasonable.                       

                        Time Schedule

 

            2 DEC 05          delivery of final version of software to HDC

            5-9 DEC 05       five work days to test the new program version with GMT

            11 DEC 05        travel day

            12 DEC 05        trip here for security update (why was the security authorization pulled from an active vendor under contract?)

                   “                trip to McNary and set up.  Possibility of some testing depending on how late the arrival.

            13-15 DEC 05    Demonstration and Testing at McNary on Unit #9.

            16 DEC 05        Pack up and trip home.

            09 JAN 05         Finished Report and Manual delivery.

           

            If the trip to McNary does not take place on Dec 12, it will have to be pushed into the third week of January because of Mr. Albright’s schedule and the holidays.

            Also, sometime around the first of Jan. George Williams from CT is planning on redeploying for Katrina, which will potentially severely affect my workload.  I would much prefer to have the field trip take place the week of the 12th of Dec.

 

            Rod wanted Ed to go out to McNary early to set up the unit because Ed knows GDACS and can potentially resolve any communication problems prior to the field test date.  Also, the perturbation software is to be set up on Unit #9 anytime before the field trip.

 

            Thank you.

HDC staff met and will support what ever you negotiate with ATEC----only stipulation is that the GMT have a minimum of 5 work days to test the new program version.  That means that DEC 5 is a very shaky date given what Doug wrote.    I will be gone the remainder of the week.   Regards Rod
