QUESTION #1:

I am working on this submitting an offer to this solicitation. It is difficult to provide an accurate dollar amount for the freight as there is not a breakdown of how much of each item is shipping to which district. Can you please provide some guidance as to how we should provide pricing for the freight?

SCDOT RESPONSE TO QUESTION #1:

As per the RFP instructions, use the Sample Order (Attachment E) for the items and quantities, and the shipping address(es) provided in Attachment D for respective line items in the bidding schedule. The tendering text for line items 0021 through 0027 on the bidding schedule provides clear instructions.

All other terms, conditions, bidding instructions, and specifications remain unchanged. If there are any questions or if any confusion or uncertainty arises as a result of this amendment, it is the sole responsibility of the offeror to contact the procurement officer for clarification.
