Attachment-2.-Pre-Bid_-Pre-Proposal-Conference-Response-Form.pdf

This document is Attachment 2, a Pre-Bid/Proposal Conference Response Form for a Maryland state government procurement opportunity related to the Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) Program. The form is designed for potential bidders to indicate their intent to attend a pre-bid conference, with space to list up to three attendees and provide contact information. Respondents are required to return the form via email to the specified Procurement Officer by the RSVP due date, indicating whether they plan to attend the conference and noting any reasonable accommodations needed. The form includes placeholders for the solicitation title, solicitation number, and bidder/offeror name, with instructions to reference the Key Information Summary Sheet for the specific conference date and time.

The document serves as a standard administrative tool for managing pre-bid conference participation, ensuring proper communication and documentation for the procurement process. While the form itself does not contain specific pricing or detailed contract information, it is part of the larger solicitation for a comprehensive impact and process evaluation of Maryland's statewide RESEA program. The evaluation aims to demonstrate a causal relationship between program activities and participant outcomes, focusing on reemployment rates and median earnings, in compliance with Unemployment Insurance Program Letter (UIPL) No. 01-20 guidelines. Potential bidders will use this form to formally communicate their conference attendance plans and any special requirements, which is a critical step in the procurement process for this research and evaluation service contract.
