Q: Can you in any way characterize or estimate the extent of the engagement of USGS staff in initial design discussions, as well as in the

Alpha and Beta test phases?

A: The USGS staff has significant knowledge in this area and would expect to be included in tuning the implementation plan.

Q: Can you provide an estimate of how much time will be required for USGS staff to test the alpha and beta versions of the tools?

A: The testing and feedback can be completed within 2-3 days.

Q: Are there any provisions or protocols for a situation where the project is delayed for reasons not due to us? Is there anything we should include in our offer that accommodates this potentiality?

A: Standard commercial provisions would apply if the project is delayed due to factors outside the contractor's control. It is not expected that offerors address this potentiality in their proposals.

Q: Our annual representations and certifications expire on July 30th. We will be re-submitting our information prior to the expiration date, and note that you will accept current or pending certifications, but nevertheless want to make sure the timing of this renewal does not affect our application. Do you have any advice on how or where we should note this in our proposal?

A: The representations and certifications current at the date/time quotes are due will be used.
