Questions and Answers, Vol #8

QUESTION #1:

1. The RFI document does not request pricing. However, we noticed that the OregonBuys portal, on the "Items" tab, appears to request pricing. Could you kindly clarify how this form is to be completed for this RFI?

RESPONSE #1:

Pricing is not required in the response to this RFI. For information related to OregonBuys, please refer to Section 6, OregonBuys, of the RFI. The website listed in the 2nd paragraph of Section 6 (https://www.oregon.gov/odot/Business/Procurement/Pages/HowTo.aspx) contains many helpful resources as well as a document titled Supplier Bid Solicitation Response which should provide the answers to your questions.

QUESTION #2:

1. On the General tab, the form asks for delivery days, discount percent, payment terms, etc. that don’t seem relevant since the RFI says there’s no guarantee an RFP or purchase order will follow. Are we supposed to answer anything on this tab at this stage of the process

RESPONSE #2:

For information related to OregonBuys, please refer to Section 6, OregonBuys, of the RFI. The website listed in the 2nd paragraph of Section 6 (https://www.oregon.gov/odot/Business/Procurement/Pages/HowTo.aspx) contains many helpful resources as well as a document titled Supplier Bid Solicitation Response which should provide the answers to your questions.
