The addendum addresses a critical omission from the original solicitation by providing Appendix A - Cost Proposal Table, which offerors must use when submitting their cost proposals in accordance with RFP requirements. The proposal due date remains September 4, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time. The addendum confirms that all other terms, conditions, requirements, and provisions of the RFP remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

The cost proposal table is the primary deliverable of this addendum, enabling offerors to submit itemized pricing for the marketing and communications services. Offerors are required to utilize the provided Cost Proposal Table template when preparing their cost submissions. The Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations will use weighted evaluation criteria including Creativity and Strategy (30 percent), Experience and Qualifications (25 percent), Budget and Cost Efficiency (20 percent), Timeline and Implementation Plan (15 percent), and References and Past Performance (10 percent) to select the responsible offeror with the highest-ranked proposal. Notice of Award is estimated for September 11, 2026, and the contract will be firm-fixed-price for an initial one-year term commencing November 1, 2026, with potential extensions of up to 180 calendar days each subject to mutual agreement.
