3) I'm not finding anything that says whether we need to quote our labor with prevailing wage. Is this necessary?
Yes, prevailing wage is generally required for official bids in Wisconsin if the project involves public works or is funded by state or local government
4) These say the software must include at least 5 exciter graphics and in 3.6.10 says "must have a minimum of 3 different environments in addition to a Classic Bowling environment- can this include games or does this strictly mean for environments (graphical themes)?
Strictly graphical themes.
5) 4th bullet point - does EBSMS stabnd for electronic bowling scoring and management syste?
Yes, EBSMS stands for Electronic Bowling Score Management System
6) The 2nd Bullet point says provide replacement parts (2)motors,strings,belts etc. For 10 lanes, havung 2 of everything seems excessive and will just add dollars to the bid. we would suggest to submit just one Spare parts kit for all the components. we can spell out that this is what we are offering. will that work?
Yes, we understand that including (2) spare part kits will increase the price. Please include (2) repair kits. Itemize what is included in the spare part kits.
