8. Question: SIR Page 60 requests that offerors clearly identify electronic folders for Volume I and

Volume II and for each evaluation factor. Please confirm the intent is to state that volumes and evaluation factors within shall be labeled, as we understand these documents shall be transmitted as

PDFs.

Response: Clearly label folders as Volume I and Volume II and the contents within Volume I and Volume

II.

9. Question: The SIR indicates to use as Times New Roman 12 pt font. For the purpose of identifying headers and subheaders, having slightly larger fonts will more easily distinguish body text from headers and render the documents easier to navigate and review. Please confirm if fonts larger than 12 pt can be used for headers and subheaders.

Response: Headers and subheaders larger than New Roman 12 pt font is acceptable.

10. Question: SIR page 67, Nationwide BOAS (4th paragraph down) assigns different percentage weights to each evaluative factor than those denoted in the RFP next to each Factor. For instance, This paragraph states that Key Personnel are weighted at 10%; however, the bottom of SIR page 65 indicates that key personnel are weighted at 20%, which is a discrepancy. Please clarify percentage weights for each evaluative factor.

Response: The weighting for the Small and Medium BOAs differs from the Nationwide BOA because

Offerors submitting proposals for the Small or Medium BOA are required to respond to Evaluation

Factors 1-4 and Offerors submitting proposals for the Nationwide BOA are required to respond to

Evaluation Factors 1-5.
