| from different publishers/suppliers? | No, Books do not have to be shipped together. Multiple shipments is acceptable as long as all books are received by the specified date. | |||

| 10 | Regarding the book "Brannigan's Building Construction for the Fire Service" (6th Ed.), it seems that the hardcover format is no longer available. After exploring various vendors, I've located only two that can supply the book (paperback format) in the requested quantity. I've already contacted the publisher directly via email to inquire about the availability of hardcover books. I anticipate receiving a response this week. In the event that hardcover copies are unavailable or if I don't receive a response before the submission deadline for quotes, would it be possible to fulfill this particular book order with paperback copies instead? | Paperback would be ok. | ||
| 11 | In the solicitation document the book titled "Brannigan's Building Construction for the Fire Service" requested format is Hardcover but after checking with the publisher it is only available in Paperback.
