Is it sufficient for us to call and/or email you to let you know when it has been picked up, and approximately when we expect it will be delivered to you?

"Please propose for the Statement of Work (SOW) and propose on all five Sample Task Orders in a separate section."

We will provide costing for the Sample Tasks listed in B of the SOW, but please advise if you expect costing to be provided against the SOW (Attachment 3) Section A items 1-10. If this is the intent, please provide specific designs for each items 1-10. We note this is also discussed in the response to Question 14, but it is not clear that the only costing you expect to be included in the proposal is for the Sample Task Orders 1-5.

If Section A of the SOW also requires costing would you consider an extension?
