As requested per your RFP, this bid is per 200-word article and does not cover the entire project which includes 500-600 200-word articles. The total bid I've quoted would cover the first 120 200-word articles, based upon the following scope: each hotel, and as such, each article, will require at least 5 minutes of research and information compilation and 5 minutes of copywriting. I propose to offer my services to you for the completion of this project at a rate of $15/hour for all research completed, and $15/hour for all copy written. Therefore, I bid $2.50 for each article produced. Extending that bid to cover the range of 500-600 hotels, my estimation for your final cost is $1250-$1500 and will take 85-100 hours to complete. I can complete all 600 hotels based on the time required within the next month, producing 24 articles per day. I am American-born as well as an American citizen and through my academic background and professional experience have attained the highest degree of proficiency in written English. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future and working with you on future projects.
