Description of Modification to Solicitation:

No other changes
Additional Documentation: Documentation related to this Addendum (if any) has been included herewith as
Attachment A and is specifically incorporated herein by reference.
Terms and Conditions:
1. All provisions of the Solicitation and other addenda not modified herein shall remain in full force and effect.
2. Vendor should acknowledge receipt of all addenda issued for this Solicitation by completing an
Addendum Acknowledgment, a copy of which is included herewith. Failure to acknowledge addenda may result in bid disqualification. The addendum acknowledgement should be submitted with the bid to expedite document processing.
Q1. Is this a new design or a rip-and-replace? What products do you currently have in place? Do you have specs for the firewall and SFPs? This will help us to determine what products to offer.
A: This is a hardware refresh. The state will not be disclosing details regarding existing internal network models or active configurations. Technical requirements for the firewalls and transceiver modules are fully detailed in Section 3.1 of the RFQ specifications.
Q2. The spec asks for central management like Panorama, but Panorama only manages Palo Alto firewalls - with any other brand you would be getting a different management system either way. With Check Point, a pair of firewalls can be managed from the appliances themselves at no added cost, or from a separate management system we would price into the bid. Which do you need?
A: If submitting an alternate brand, the vendor must include centralized management software/capabilities equivalent to Panorama (capable of unified logging, template-based policy distribution, and multi-device administration) priced into the bid, in accordance with Section 3.1.1.5 and Section 3.2.1. Managing appliances individually without a centralized management platform is not acceptable.
Q3. The spec asks for both active/active and active/passive. Active/active is a highly unusual setup for a pair of firewalls - is that something you are intending to run, or will you be using active/standby?
A: The requirement specifies that the hardware/operating system platform must support both Active/Active and Active/Passive High Availability modes to meet state standards. The primary intended operational deployment is Active/Passive (active/standby).
Q4. It says to include the security software "for the duration of the hardware life," but does not say how many years, and there is no line on the pricing page to put it on.
A: For any alternate "or Equal" firewall submission, software subscription pricing must cover a 5-year lifecycle. All subscription costs must be included in the unit/extended pricing provided on Exhibit A (Pricing Page) under Item 1 for the firewall hardware, as outlined in Section 3.2.1. Separate line-item software fees will not be accepted.
Q5. Which address should this ship to? The spec says 900 Pennsylvania Avenue in Charleston, wvOASIS says the ABCA warehouse in Nitro.
A: Please deliver to the official RFQ delivery address specified in Section 6.1: West Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control Administration, 900 Pennsylvania Ave., 4th Floor, Charleston, WV 25302.
