33.ECEI services

33.1The "Instructions" Tab of the LAC and ECEI Pricing Response Schedule provides:

Establishment Funds: A fixed fee for the Establishment Services, which the Partner will be entitled to invoice upon the achievement of certain deliverables or milestones.

Does this mean that Establishment Funds are excluded from the overall budget and are reimbursed in addition to the Service Area Funds?

Yes. Establishment Funds are upfront costs paid to each successful Partner in addition to the quarterly payment of Service Area Funds.
