Testing of New approach
The New Approach will be used in the class to be taught at ERDC starting
this fall in Graduate Institute. The work is evaluated on an ongoing
basis -- at least once a week -- of incremental progress.
The Scope of work is to produce two modules for Graduate Institute
using new SVG based approach which will in detail be edited by Fox (
the lecturer) to update material produced in January to March 2001


1.      Initial work through 6/15: brainstorming of concept design (drawing and sketches,
		page design)
2.        6/18 to 22: develop 2 to 3 graphics(layout and other design choices) from
		brainstorming
3.        6/25 to 29: develop the final 1 design for 5 page types
4.        7/2 to 6: Evaluate and refine converter from Flash to SVG, create SVG animation

		this class of course
7.        7/23 to 27: coding text and graphics into SVG format(module I, contd) : refine
		designs if necessary

I don't know what this means -- I hope you do
Not to Exceed Limit is $14560 (13 weeks)

Item 3 ************************************************
I will ask Chung

Rate Analysis
-------------
This expertise is typical of Professional Systems and Web Design
As a staff appointment the salary range would be in $35K to $60K range
depending on experience. This mainly comes from my experience at
Syracuse University. I advertised such systems and web support positions
at FSU for 4 months and got no qualified applicants

52 weeks at $28 hour is equivalent to $58240 salary
This needs to be reduced by three factors
1) Paid holidays
2) Benefits
3) Staff are paid continuously whether or not job available
4) COnsultant provides all their own resources (computers etc.)

These issues  reduce effective salary to about $45K
