ADDENDUM # 1

The purpose of this addendum is to provide answers to submitted questions and to strike reference to submitting a USB memory stick from the RFP. All catalogs are to be submitted in PDF format to the Bonfire Portal.

Q1. Where do we find the attachment Appendix A as mentioned in the RFP for the list of items to bid on.

A1. Appendix A – Scope of Work and Technical Specifications can be found in the RFP, beginning on p. 46.

Q2. Page 47, section E. The catalogs and price lists must be submitted on a USB memory stick.

Where and when is the USB to be sent and to whom?

A2. There is no requirement to submit information on a USB. Submissions will only be accepted through the Bonfire Portal. The RFP will be updated to reflect that.

Q3. This spread sheet has a column titled "Item" and down the sheet that column is filled in with "Please Specify". These cells are protected. Are we supposed to specify what type of products we are bidding in those cells? or are we not supposed to alter those cells?

A3. Please use the column to the right of the “Please Specify” column to list your products.

Q4. On App B2 spread sheet, the discount column does not accept a "+" sign for adding a price plus amount. How are we to show such an add on instead of a discount?

A4. It is not necessary to add a “+” sign for a price plus mark-up. The “-“ sign is only used for percent discounts.
