plan. This plan was approved by the AEP Board in December, 2010. An ILRTD
Committee was also formed to carry forward some aspects of the work. Other aspects,
in particular management and fundraising, have been the exclusive responsibility of
AEP.
AEP now seeks a short-term project manager to initiate and complete several
foundational support elements, including assisting in the fundraising effort and

the education industry and with the defined scope of work
B. Provide credentials for the individual to be assigned to this project
C. Provide a work plan for addressing the scope and objectives of this RFP
D. Include recommendations for project integration and ongoing management
E. Provide a fee proposal, as well as an estimate of out-of-pocket costs

AEP anticipates awarding a four- to six-month contract, but reserves the right not to
award any contract.
