Attachment 7 FBI NDA to the TORFP letter

We are in receipt of the added Attachment 7 NDA form. Given the process will require new separate forms for even those contractors/vendors currently under signature of NDA's of related projects, as well as the requirement to submit to the FBI for approval prior to providing access to the project documents, we respectfully request an extension to the scheduled bid date in order to ensure adequate bid coverage and proper time for bidders to review the project documents. We would also like to request an extension to the deadline for submission of RFI's.

QUESTIONS:
