Key modifications address how proposers should structure their cost proposals, qualifications of proposed personnel, and specific scope deliverables. The document establishes that this procurement was open to qualified environmental consulting firms capable of supporting CalRecycle's regulatory compliance and project advancement objectives. Funding for the contract would be provided through CalRecycle's departmental budget allocations. The addendum emphasizes compliance with state procurement regulations and requires that all bidders carefully review both the original RFP and this addendum to ensure complete understanding of requirements and to avoid proposal rejection for non-responsiveness.
