[lstac] ARPA Extension question

[Metz, John]

Karen

We (Virginia) had one request for extension under CAREs (only one, praise
be). We were told to wait until late July/early August, but we asked for
and received the extension. In working out the details, Teri was very
accommodating of our inability to truly pin this down due to supply chain
issues. We told her we thought it would be November but the products ended
up being delivered and installed in December. I simply have IMLS updates
and they were great. Takeaways: wait until there is now way to have
everything done by the deadline but make sure they know about the
possibility of an extension request; if and when an extension is requested,
communicate frequently in case you have to push the deadline further out.

Good luck
John
