Having the alternative accessible content available at the same time the inaccessible content is available is probably more in keeping with the spirit of WCAG 2.0. Yet, the agencies involved are likely using WCAG 2.0 as part of a process to comply with a law. Most of those laws include some kind of language for a situation like this.

My suggestion would be to discuss the legal obligations and technical requirements with the agencies. One reason for that is they are the ones most likely to be held accountable for any interpretation they make of their legal obligations.

Thanks!
