The general pattern for jobs will be approximately as follows. Library responds to the proposal. Contractor begins and completes off-site processing. Processing includes contractor's post-scanning steps, e.g., assigning final names to files, quality review, etc. A typical batch will consist of from one to two week's scanning work performed by a single scanning team and processing by the contractor.
Contractor begins scanning and processing batch two in the job.
Tasks related to batch two and subsequent batches will follow the same schedule as that of batch one in the job. LOT 1 Contractor begins text conversion of those materials designated by the Library. Precise delivery dates and batch sizes will be determined for each task order and may vary based upon the difficulty inherent in the materials being digitized. Requests for subsequent task proposals may overlap performance on a task order in progress. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day award is dated.
