Q- On page 15 the SOW states ¿The contractor shall shoot the interviews during four separate trips to Alabama¿ - can we assume that this is a typo and that fewer trips are acceptable?

A- This is a typo, all interviews should take place in Vicksburg, Mississippi.

Q- For budgeting purposes, can we assume all interviews would take place within 80 miles of

Vicksburg National Military Park?

A- Yes.

Q- Can you provide more information on how the

36-month timeline for the project was chosen? Is there an expectation from your team that the project will actually take 3 years to complete?

A- This was based on previous oral history projects completed by the National Park Service.

The contractor may complete the project in a shortened timeframe; however, it will take some time to develop relationships within the African

American community.

Q- Would like more clarity on the delineation of labor, between the contractor and the government, for researching and identifying interviewees.

Page 4 of the SOW cites the following: ¿Conduct sufficient preliminary research on the history of

African American events in Vicksburg to develop a preliminary list of possible interviews. This includes identifying and inventorying pertinent archives and archival deposits to be utilized, and cataloging what oral history interviews their collections currently hold to determine which interviews to prioritize¿, while Page 7 says ¿The government shall furnish a list of interview candidates with contact information.¿

A- This will be a collaborative effort. The park will provide a list of individuals who may wish to participate in the project; however, it is also expected that the contractor will conduct additional research to identify other individuals that may want to participate. The end goal is to have a robust list of interview candidates to choose from.

Q- SOW pg4, Community Liaisons: Does NPs have a recommended honorarium or rate for the Community

Liaisons?

A- No, Vicksburg National Military Park has never

Q- SOW pg8, Bid Option 1: Should we assume that the interviewer and possibly the project manager should attend the Community Engagement Meetings in person?

Q- Will all interviewees be local to Vicksburg, or should the contractor budget for travel expenses for several interviewees?

A- All interviews will be local to Vicksburg, Mississippi.
