1. Q. Budget: The SOW says the design must fit a fixed project budget. Can the Government share the budget or a range?
1a. The budget is between $250,000-$500,000.
2. Q. Payment: Can the contractor invoice by phase or milestone (for example at each design submittal, at shop inspections, and at installation)?
2a. Yes
3. Q. Image rights CLIN: Section 12 describes a not-to-exceed CLIN for third-party image rights. What amount should offerors carry, and where should it appear on the price schedule? 3a. This should be broken out in CLIN 00010.
4. Q. Option timing: CLIN 00020 shows an anticipated exercise about 365 days after award, which falls after the 2027 sailing season. Can the additional film option be exercised before filming, or should offerors assume the second film uses footage from the base shoot? 4a. We are hoping all footage can be obtained during the summer of 2027 (May-Aug). The winter/spring of 2026/2027 everything should be planned out – type of filming, etc. 5. Q. R/V Tiĝlax̂: How many contractor berths are available, on which legs, and are meals and lodging aboard provided at no cost to the contractor?
5a. While onboard the ship, there are no fees for ship travel (food, water, berths, etc). There will be 3-4 spaces for film crew. We do not know at this time where the locations will be or exactly the time frame. That will be determined by April 2027.

A: Likely 4, not looking for interviews, looking for bird footage. Would be on ship with other staff depending on timing. Food, etc supplied. Recommend people that can handle rough seas and not get too sick.
• From question and answer part 1: R/V Tiĝlax̂ Filming: Government-furnished support includes ship time only, as stated in C.12.
