1 RFPTEAM Solicitation Type We typically reference the solicitation name/number on each page of the proposal. Can the State of Nevada Purchasing Division confirm if this opportunity should be referred to as an RFQ or an RFP? We see both in different places.

This should be referred to as a RFP (Request for Proposal)

2 RFPTEAM Attachments for Signatures Are electronic signatures acceptable on the signature attachment forms? Yes

3 RFPTEAM RFP Language Learning Platform document

Does NSLAPR require an inline response to the section titled ?2. Project Overview? in the main Language Learning document?

No response is required to items 2.1 through 2.8.3 in the document labeled "08DOA-S2727 RFP Language Learning Platform ~2.docx"

4 RFPTEAM Audience Access

Can The State of Nevada Purchasing Division confirm that this solicitation is strictly for public library statewide access in the state of Nevada? Some of the language in the proposal documents indicate additional audiences are included in the scope (i.e. the Authentication requirement in the Technical Proposal Requirements: All Nevada residents must be able to access the product either at their local library (identified as eligible by NSLAPR, including school, academic, public, and tribal library locations) or remotely via standard authentication methods.) Should we disregard?

Disregard. Public libraries only. Ask Purchasing if we need to revise the language?

5 RFPTEAM License Agreement Can we include a license agreement for the resource we are proposing with our submission?

We would request that this license agreement be a part of any resulting contract.

Vendor must submit there entire solutions. If there is a license agreement then submit that with the proposal.

6 RFPTEAM Financial Information

Will the State accept our standard financial stability package to meet the financial requirements (I.e a letter from the company?s Vice President of Finance, as well as letters from independent auditors for the previous two years) in lieu of the profit & loss statements and balance statements?

Yes, that is sufficient with your proposal submission.

7 RFPTEAM Administrative Fee 3.2.1 Clause

Can the State of Nevada Purchasing Division clarify if this clause is N/A to this solicitation?:

ADMINISTRATIVE FEE 3.2.1. The State may implement an administrative fee of not more than 1% on contracts procured or negotiated by the State Purchasing Division pursuant to NRS

333.450. 3.2.2. This fee may be assessed over the time of the contract period. 3.2.3. Vendors will be provided 30 days written notice before fees are assessed. 3.2.4. Fees shall be paid quarterly, 45 days after the close of the quarter, on all purchases under the contract.

This does not apply to this RFP

8 RFPTEAM Inverse Preference Clause (6.3)

Can the State of Nevada Purchasing Division clarify if this clause is N/A to this solicitation?:

6.3.INVERSE PREFERENCE

6.3.1. The State applies an inverse preference to vendors that have a principal place of business in a state other than Nevada and that state applies an in-state preference not afforded to Nevada based vendors, pursuant to AB28 passed in the 81st session of the Nevada Legislature.

6.3.2. The amount of the inverse preference is correlated to the amount of preference applied in the other state.

6.3.3. Vendors who meet this criterion must indicate it on their submitted Quote in NevadaEPro.

6.3.4. This preference cannot be combined with any other preference, granted for the award of a contract using federal funds, or granted for the award of a contract procured on a multi-state basis.

This is subjective to the use of the Nevada based preference
