I was wondering if there’s going to be another amendment due to the questions I submitted on January 4, 2022. The reason I’m asking is because I must send our bid package via Fedex Express today by 3:00 PM over to you guys so it gets there in time. Please let me know and thank you.

We will issue an Amendment A003 once it is finalized and this amendment will be extending the proposal due date.
