· At least 100 bottles (20 bottles per building with sodium thiosulfate already added, and then 10 additional bottles – with pre-measured sodium thiosulfate for any positive hits) – 250 ml size for each bottle

· Containers for the five different sampling locations (five containers)

· Pre-Paid Return Postage for each of the boxes to be returned

· Section 1, 1.3 – Does the delineation of serogroup need to specify the exact serogroup number or will a general indication of serotype 1 and serotype 2-15 be acceptable? Answer: Yes. The delineation of the serogroup must specify the exact serogroup number.
