Greetings:
I am an experienced government proposal coordinator with content knowledge of the government construction industries. You can see feedback and projects on Elance as well as Linkedin (through Elance).
It is difficult to anticipate total costs without seeing the request for proposal; however, a general proposal outline traditionally takes about 12 hours. This time is spent as follows after a project is awarded and funded:
1. Review RFP
2. Create checklist and format
3. Submit checklist and format to client; while client is reviewing format and responding to checklist begin draft development
4. Once checklist response is received, finalize draft
5. Submit draft to client (first milestone payment)
6. Revise draft based on client comment (once. more if still remaining budget)
Depending on the day of the week the project is awarded and my current workload, and the client's abilty to timely respond, the minimum amount of time for Australian clients is three days. If this project is awarded today, the assignment can be completed within 24 hours.
Please let me know if I can assist further. Thank you for posting on Freelancer.com
