Question/Comment

The RFQ states:

Additional Court representatives will be promptly available as needed to assist in the development process, including for internal user testing. The Court will arrange for any necessary external user testing.

The Court’s current internal management and staffing levels are not adequate to allow for effective coordination with more than one development team, at least during the initial stages of the development process.

How many internal Court Representatives are expected to participate in internal user testing, and how will they interact with the system (especially with regard to initial development goals including identity and access management, case initiation, payment of fees, search functionality, e-signatures, notes, and content management)? Are all representatives located in Washington, DC?
