About this file
This is an Addendum #01 to a Request for Proposals issued by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for updating Minnesota's Forest Products Industry at a Glance Report. The addendum addresses vendor questions regarding project scope and deliverables. The primary task involves updating the one-page "Industry at a Glance" report with 2024 calendar year data. Contractors are responsible for gathering external economic data for 2024, analyzing it, and compiling it into the final report using a provided Word document template based on the CY2023 example. The State will supply spreadsheets used for previous calculations and the CY2023 Word document to ensure consistency and facilitate the update process. The final deliverable should maintain the exact layout and data presentation structure of the CY2023 example and include State branding provided in the template.
The addendum clarifies that the RFP scope is limited to updating the one-page At a Glance report and does not include updating the broader Michigan State University study on forest products industries' economic contributions. Contractors must independently source all external 2024 economic data beyond the internal spreadsheets provided by the State. The State supplies branding and formatting guidance through the existing Word document template to ensure the updated report aligns with State branding standards for distribution. No other pricing terms, set-asides, or financial details are specified in this addendum document.

SCOPE OF ADDENDUM
The following are changes to the RFP: Sharing vendor questions and State’s answers.
Vendors’ questions to the RFP and the State’s answers are as follows:
1. Question: Does the contractor find the data themselves utilizing both the internal data provided and outside data.
A. Answer: Yes, we have the spreadsheets used to calculate the information for the Industry at a Glance factsheet to maintain consistency between reports. The contractor will need to gather the external data needed to populate the spreadsheets and generate the final numbers for the report.
2. Question: Does the contractor create a pdf similar to the CY2023 example using that data.
A. Answer: Yes, we have the CY2023 report in a Word document that can be updated with the new information.
3. Question: Is branding provided by state for distribution A. Answer: Yes, that is all in the Word document.
4. Question: Are there specific statistics or trends to focus on, or should we use the exact same layout and data as presented in the CY2023 example? i.e. focusing on housing and construction data or timber markets vs. recreational or non-timber values (health, energy, water use, AI, etc.)
A. Answer: Use the exact layout and data presented in the CY2023 example.
5. Question: Is a branding package or template provided to align with state branding for distribution?
A. Answer: Yes.
6. Question: Could you please clarify whether the RFP involves updating the Michigan State University study, Forest Products Industries’ Economic Contributions: Minnesota, 2023, or only updating and submitting the one-page At a Glance report with 2024 data?
A. Answer: This RFP only includes updating and submitting the one-page Industry at a Glance report.
7. Question: If the scope is limited to the At a Glance report, will the State of Minnesota provide bidders with any data to support development of the one-page report?
A. Answer: Yes, the State will provide the spreadsheets used to calculate the information on the report and will provide a Word document version of the CY2023 report to be updated with CY2024 data. All external economic data for 2024 will need to be gathered, analyzed, and compiled by the contractor.
