EXHIBIT 1

QUESTION 1: Will CCPS accept conditional Bids?

ANSWER 1a: CCPS will not accept conditional Bids. CCPS will consider proposed exceptions that are submitted with a bid, however, CCPS will not consider a bid that is conditioned upon acceptance of proposed exceptions or revisions.

Any proposed revisions to the terms or language of this IFB must be submitted in writing with Bidder’s response. Since proposed revisions may result in a bid being rejected if the revisions are unacceptable to CCPS, Bidders should review any proposed revisions carefully. Refer to Information and Instructions to Bidders, Award and Execution of Agreement in this IFB.

QUESTION 2: Will CCPS accept a Bid without a signature on the Response Submission Form on Page 2 of the bid packet?

ANSWER 2a: CCPS will not accept a bid if the Response Submission Form is not completed, signed and returned. Submitting a bid in Bonfire without signing and returning the Response Submission Form will cause a bid to be considered non-responsive.

Portal?

ANSWER 3a: Yes, all pages of the Bid must be returned to CCPS in Bonfire.
