Addendum 4 Questions and Answers - Attachment.docx

This is an Addendum 4 Questions and Answers document related to RFP No. BRF 2022 for shared-ride taxi services in Black River Falls, Wisconsin. The addendum clarifies financial stability documentation requirements for offerors submitting proposals. The RFP seeks qualified contractors to provide door-to-door, demand-responsive, advanced reservation shared-ride taxi services to the general public, including disabled individuals requiring assistance. Required services encompass telephone communications, dispatching, driving, maintenance, and record keeping, with scheduled service typically operating seven days a week. The City of Black River Falls reserves the right to modify the taxi service schedule based on service demand and budgetary constraints following public comment through a public hearing.

The addendum resolves a conflict regarding financial documentation submission procedures by clarifying that offerors must submit two separate financial stability components: an audited financial statement attached to the main proposal for evaluation by the Source Selection Team, and a letter from either the offeror's bank or auditor verifying financial stability submitted under separate cover without accompanying financial statements or documents. The "under separate cover" submission remains sealed until after the Source Selection Team completes proposal evaluation. This dual-submission approach ensures the Source Selection Team has access to financial documentation during the evaluation phase while maintaining appropriate separation of price proposals and verification letters.
