The following items are hereby incorporated:

Question 1: Can the "loss runs" information from the last 5 years be provided?

Answer: Currently, the university does not have ‘loss run’ information specific to D&O, Employment Practices, etc. policy; however, this information can be provided as it pertains to our General Tort Liability policy (see Attachment 2).

Question 2: Can you please provide 5-year loss runs for all lines referenced in the RFP along with the carriers for each line? This helps us develop our marketing strategy response requested in the RFP.

Answer: The current solicitation/RFP will result in inaugural policies for the following lines of coverage outside of our current General Tort Liability policy

· Directors & Officers Liability

· Employment Practices Liability

· Kidnap, Ransom & Extortion

For Commercial Crime – Please see Attachments 3-5.

Question 3: Does the University currently purchase cyber liability coverage?

Answer: No.

Question 4: Page 14 states “During the term of the resulting Contract, no fee or charge above the cost of the coverage may be imposed unless SCSU agrees in writing before an invoice is submitted.” Does this mean that “$0” is required in the Bidding Schedule on Page 30 for Line Number 0001 – Brokerage Services Fees?

Answer: Yes.

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.
