Dear Dr. Toby,
Many thanks for documents. Below are our comments and questions:
1. At this budget, may you consider to include clarification work to GoL/representatives that may need Fishtek present, possibly 2-3 times. Other direct expenses e.g. transportation and accommodation, shall be our cost.
We do not feel that for this budget we can include 2-3 meetings, as this will potentially take up 2 - 3 weeks of time for us if we have to also travel from the UK to SE Asia especially for these meetings. However, we are happy to include attendance at 1 meeting within the budget (with all the direct costs at your cost).
2. In the deliverables, please also provide estimated typical cost of proposed design, facilities and plan.
Please could you clarify what you mean here? Would you like us to work out the estimated typical cost for the proposed design, facilities and plan as part of the report/concept drawing? Or would you like these estimated costs now?
3. Please advise the term of payment applied.
We would like to invoice monthly as the work progresses, with the outstanding amount owed invoiced once we have completed the concept design stage.
Should you have any question or advice, please let us know.
