About this file
This addendum to Request for Quote R00B7600027, issued by the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), provides clarifications regarding the Performance Management, Data, and Interest Holder Engagement consulting engagement (eMMA Reference No. BPM058024). The contract supports MSDE's Reimagine & Transform initiative, which aims to strengthen alignment and effectiveness across Maryland's early childhood education system through strategic planning, organizational effectiveness improvements, and performance management enhancements. Bidders may propose either individual consultants or teams of multiple individuals to perform the approximately 800 estimated hours of work required under the scope of work. Qualifications may be met collectively across proposed team members rather than requiring each individual to independently satisfy all mandatory requirements. Resumes should be submitted for those demonstrating qualifications to accomplish the work, and there are no preferences or requirements regarding the percentage of hours performed personally by named individuals versus other firm staff.
The contract carries a maximum value of $100,000.00, with the hourly rate submitted on the bid form reflecting what MSDE will pay for services. Bidders may propose a blended average rate across multiple team members at different individual rates, provided the total compensation does not exceed the contract ceiling. All proposals must acknowledge receipt of this addendum, and all communications must be routed through the Procurement Officer. The contract term and any renewal options are not specified in this addendum document.

Title: Performance Management, Data, and Interest Holder Engagement eMMA Reference No. BPM058024
This Addendum provides answers to questions submitted by potential bidders
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q1. Does MSDE intend for the Contract to be performed by a single named individual consultant, or may a firm propose a team of multiple individuals to jointly perform the scope of work?
A1. Bidders can propose multiple teams.
Q2. If a team is permitted, is a single "Cost per Hour" on Exhibit A meant to represent one individual's rate, or a blended average rate across multiple team members at different rates?
A2. The hourly rate listed on the bid form must reflect what MSDE will be paying for the services. A blended average rate across multiple team members is acceptable. Please note that the contract will not exceed $100,000.00.
Q3. Does the RFQ's requirement for "a resume that demonstrates the required qualifications" mean a single resume for one lead/primary consultant is sufficient, or must resumes be submitted for every individual who will perform substantive work under the Contract?
A3. Resumes should be submitted for those who show qualifications to accomplish the work.
Q4. If a firm bids with more than one individual named to perform the work, must each named individual independently satisfy all of the Mandatory Requirements in Section II, or is it sufficient for the qualifications to be met collectively across the proposed team?
A4. Qualification may be met collectively across the proposed team.
Q5. Is there any preference, requirement, or limitation regarding the percentage of the 800 estimated hours that must be performed personally by the individual(s) named in the bid, versus other firm staff not named in the bid?
