GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 153-154

Is it CMS’ intent that the one copy of the entire proposal to be one PDF file, or that the copy of the entire proposal would be the collection of PDF files representing the entire proposal, sent in separate emails (labeled 1 of X, etc.) as outlined in L.11? It would seem the intent of the one copy is the collection of the PDF files as offerers must stay under the 25 MB email limitations for the submission. It is CMS' intent that one copy of the entire proposal to be one PDF file.
