PREFERENCES - A NOTICE TO VENDORS (SEP. 2009): On June 16, 2009, the South Carolina General Assembly rewrote the law governing preferences available to in-state vendors, vendors using in-state subcontractors, and vendors selling in-state or US end products. This law appears in Section 11-35-1524 of the South Carolina Code of Laws. A summary of the new preferences is available at www.procurement.sc.gov/preferences. ALL THE PREFERENCES MUST BE CLAIMED AND ARE APPLIED BY LINE ITEM, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER AWARD IS MADE BY ITEM OR

LOT. VENDORS ARE CAUTIONED TO CAREFULLY REVIEW THE STATUTE BEFORE CLAIMING ANY

PREFERENCES. THE REQUIREMENTS TO QUALIFY HAVE CHANGED. IF YOU REQUEST A

PREFERENCE, YOU ARE CERTIFYING THAT YOUR OFFER QUALIFIES FOR THE PREFERENCE

YOU'VE CLAIMED. IMPROPERLY REQUESTING A PREFERENCE CAN HAVE SERIOUS

CONSEQUENCES. [11-35-1524(E)(4)&(6)]

PREFERENCES - ADDRESS AND PHONE OF IN-STATE OFFICE: Please provide the address and phone number for your in-state office in the space provided below. An in-state office is necessary to claim either the Resident Vendor Preference (11-35-1524(C)(1)(i)&(ii)) or the Resident Contractor Preference (11-35-1524(C)(1)(iii)). Accordingly, you must provide this information to qualify for the preference. An in-state office is not required, but can be beneficial, if you are claiming the Resident Subcontractor Preference (11-35-1524(D)).

Amendment One

Solicitation # 5400019425

AMENDMENTS TO SOLICITATION (JANUARY 2004) (a) The Solicitation may be amended at any time prior to opening. All actual and prospective Offerors should monitor the following web site for the issuance of Amendments:

www.midlandstechstech.edu/vendors (b) Offerors shall acknowledge receipt of any amendment to this solicitation (1) by signing and returning the amendment, (2) by identifying the amendment number and date in the space provided for this purpose on Page Two, (3) by letter, or (4) by submitting a bid that indicates in some way that the bidder received the amendment. (c) If this solicitation is amended, then all terms and conditions which are not modified remain unchanged.

Solicitation No. 5400019425 is hereby amended as follows:

RESPONSES TO WRITTEN QUESTIONS RECEIVED FROM VENDORS:

Question: We have multiple facilities within the Carolinas, Georgia, and Tennessee that can produce this work on a Heat Set Web Press. This would allow MTC a redundancy for production should there be any issues with a piece of equipment or a facility.

All of the facilities that could produce this work would be outside of the 25 mile radius noted in the bid.

Would this aspect of the bid be open to review taking into account the additional coverage we could offer with production facilities that could support the work?

Answer: The College cannot anticipate when and if we will need to be present at the facility to do a press check. Any work-around solutions for not being able to be physically present at the facility could add a day or more to the timeline that we may not be able to afford to lose. Therefore, having a facility within that proximity not only allows for us to address any print related concerns expeditiously but it is, also, a cost-savings (i.e. little to no travel expenses) for the College.
