About this file
This document is a Question and Answers summary for the FPB Hearing Officers solicitation issued by the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS). The solicitation addresses questions submitted by prospective bidders regarding submission requirements, contract terms, insurance provisions, and eligibility criteria. Key clarifications include: bids may be submitted either online or as hard paper copies with electronic media; the State will not replace price adjustment clause 07-7B165-1 with 07-7B170-1, though contractors may request price increases per 07-7B160-1; Section 3.3 regarding printer provisions has been amended to reference toner; and Sections 4.1(3) and 7.24 regarding liability insurance have been deleted in their entirety to align with previous Hearing Officer contracts issued since 2007.
Additional clarifications address Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) certification questions, directing respondents to the SC Division of Small and Minority Business Contracting and Certification and SC Department of Transportation for guidance on DBE eligibility. The solicitation permits multiple awards to responsive and responsible offerors, allowing contractors with extensive experience in hearings and scheduling to potentially receive multiple awards for qualified attorneys. These responses indicate amendments to the original Requests for Proposals and reflect modifications intended to streamline requirements and broaden potential contractor participation.
