Hi Robyn,

Phil and I reviewed the proposal and several comments/edits, bottom line we are thinking of a 9-month contract that could get extended to June 2025 if things are moving slower in the 23K range. See specific comments by page of the proposal:

Page 3:

Under design, remove solutions brochure

Add in reworking existing brochures

Move GEMS leaning into the Design bucket, total of 44 hours

Page 4:

Focus of web is to restructure webpages to be more product and user focused, rather than the current general descriptive content

Remove time for Funding / Partnership sections and Communities of practice

Can you clarify what "download case studies is", we were not sure, and thinking of removing this item as we have no urgent need to edit case studies 

Can you clarify what additional blog functionality is regarding.

Given our current and near future client size, we will not renew Fresh or pursue Salesforce CRM. In these areas, we would be mostly looking for guidance, examples and some testing.

Combine the workflows and knowledge base into one bucket, totaling no more than $6,200

Pages 5, 6, 7 and 8

No comments/edits

Page 9:

Change time frame from 6 to 9 months (July 2024 - March 2025)

Add note that Matogen staff have different bill rates, and that is reflected in the estimate. There is not a fixed hourly rate that GEMS would be billed for all work (I'm worried about accounting doing line by line calc's and getting different numbers when the same number of hours are estimated)

If you could add in the additional info for the clarifying questions via email and then send an updated proposal next week, we will have a final review, and if no other questions I will put request for this contract through UMN finance. 

Best,

Kris
