ATTACHMENT G - COMMONWEALTH RESPONSE TO 2ND SET OF VENDOR QUESTIONS- RFB 758 2600000066.xlsx

This document is an attachment containing a Commonwealth's response to vendor questions for RFB 758 (Request for Bid) 2600000066, specifically related to off-site data and document storage services. The solicitation appears to involve a contract for document storage and management, with vendors seeking clarification about bid submission requirements and pricing strategies. While specific details about the full scope are limited in this excerpt, the document reveals a key concern from potential bidders about the lack of current storage volume information, which could impact competitive pricing.

The vendor questioning the bid process argues that without knowing the total volume of items currently in storage, vendors cannot provide the most competitive pricing. The example provided suggests that pricing could vary significantly based on volume - potentially ranging from $3.50 per case per month for smaller volumes to around $2 per case for larger storage quantities. The vendor explicitly notes that omitting current storage volume details could provide an unfair advantage to the incumbent provider and potentially prevent other bidders from submitting the most cost-effective proposals. The Commonwealth appears to have prepared this attachment as part of the bid clarification process, though the full response is not completely visible in the provided document excerpt.
