John,

I don't disagree with your assessment about how much work is involved in this project. However, the board members will be actively participating with the consultant to carry out the project objectives so the "heavy lifting" will be shared. As noted in the RFP, much of the information for the clearinghouse already exists; we need someone to pull it altogether. Creating the brochure is another minor part of the project. The big item, of course, is developing the records management workshop. Maybe we're being unrealistic here, but we estimated that working full-time for three weeks (15 work days), the consultant could develop the workshop materials in partnership with selected members of the board. Another three days of time would be invested in teaching the workshops. 

I realize that many consultants typically work for more than $400 per day, but we are limited by NHPRC guidelines.

Am I missing something here - Total compensation for this contract is
not to exceed $11,600? This seems a bit low for the amount of work
product expected for 29 days work over 18 months ($11,600.00/400 = 29
days)
