Obtaining FRD Services

Agencies that wish to work with FRD should contact the division directly to determine the best way to proceed, given their organizations’ and the Library’s preferred funding methods.

However, the general process for securing FRD’s support includes:

  • A briefing to discuss the nature of the work and the goals to be accomplished.

  • The preparation of a Statement of Work outlining the project’s requirements and custom-tailored deliverables, as well as a proposal and cost estimate detailing varying levels of complexity and expense.

  • Signed agreements and funding documents (e.g., Interagency Agreement Form 7600) from both the interested agency and FRD committing to the project and its associated costs..

As noted, FRD operates as a 100 percent cost-recovery unit and cannot, by law, make a profit. Only direct labor costs and indirect labor costs, such as special subscription fees and travel expenses, can be charged to clients.
