| <h4>How can I submit a bid for a development effort?</h4> |
| <p> |
| Click on the link for any one of the <a href="https://projects.eclipse.org/development-efforts">development |
| efforts</a>, and you will see a button allowing you to generate and submit a bid. Please note |
| that you must be logged in to do so. |
| </p> |
| <h4>Must I be a committer to submit a bid? Must my company be a member to submit a bid?</h4> |
| <p>Technically, no – this is not mandatory. However, strong preference will be given to bids |
| submitted by member companies and individual committers.</p> |
| <h4>Can I propose an alternative solution to what is being requested in the description of the |
| Development Effort?</h4> |
| <p>Yes. It is our goal to ensure we have the best possible outcome from these Development Efforts, |
| and if you feel we should consider an alternative approach, please feel free to propose it. You |
| will, however, have to make clear the impact to scope, and please recognize if the cost you are |
| proposing is greater than what was originally allocated, the proposed solution may not be |
| feasible.</p> |
| <h4>Can I get clarification on a specific Development Effort?</h4> |
| <p> |
| Yes. Please send email to <a href="mailto:feep@eclipse.org">feep@eclipse.org</a>. Please be aware |
| that we may post updates to the specific Development Efforts based on the questions we receive. |
| </p> |
| <h4>Must my bid be a fixed price bid?</h4> |
| <p>No, you may propose an alternative pricing mechanism such as time and materials, but be aware |
| that preference will be given to fixed price bids. If you wish to specify an alternative to fixed |
| price, please indicate this clearly in your bid.</p> |
| <h4>Can I bid on multiple development efforts?</h4> |
| <p>Yes, but please submit each bid as a separate proposal. Each development effort will be managed |
| through a separate Statement of Work (SOW).</p> |
| <h4>How should I indicate the impact to my delivery schedule if I am awarded multiple Development |
| Efforts?</h4> |
| <p>If you are bidding on more than one development effort, please make clear the impact of the |
| deliverable schedule should you be awarded multiple SOWs. This detail should be included in each |
| bid impacted.</p> |
| <h4>How are bids qualified? Who is making the final decision regarding bids?</h4> |
| <p>All bids will be evaluated by the FEEP-PM in consultation with the team that helped develop the |
| original list of Development Efforts. Bids will be evaluated using the criteria specified in the |
| FEEP Program Description.</p> |
| <h4>When will I know whether my bid has won, and when can I begin working on the Development Effort?</h4> |
| <p>The FEEP-PM will contact you directly should your bid(s) be selected as a winning bid. You will |
| be required to execute a services contract with Eclipse Foundation, if you have not already done |
| so, and then to execute a work schedule to contract for the specific Development Effort.</p> |
