QUESTIONS FROM OFFERORS - AMENDMENT (JUN 2017)

The solicitation is amended as provided herein. Information or changes resulting from questions will be shown in a question-and-answer format. All questions received have been reprinted below. The “state’s response” should be read without reference to the questions. The questions are included solely to provide a cross-reference to the potential offeror that submitted the question. Questions do not form a part of the contract; the “state’s response” does. Any restatement of part or all of an existing provision of the solicitation in an answer does not modify the original provision except as follows:

underlined text is added to the original provision. Stricken text is deleted. [02-2A097-1]

Q-1 It is my interpretation, as well as the interpretation of the approved manufacturer, that the SCDOT is requesting a price for the cable in this solicitation to be held for 5 years. Please confirm that this is in fact the case. That said, would there be a way for the state to accept pricing for these items to be held for a much shorter tine frame, such as 30 days, and then adjusted, up or down, depending on the market for the length of the requested contract?

A-1 Previous contracts have been issued over one year with four renewal years. Each line provides the vendor the ability to provide pricing for each year, considering possible influx and decrease in pricing. Please reference section 7B. Terms and Conditions – Special for more information on price adjustments.
