Questions and Responses to all questions and requests for clarifications received before June 17, 2025, by 12 p.m. Pacific Time:

1. How is the cost proposal to be provided and is it included in the page limit?

Response: The cost proposal (or Price Proposal as referred to in the RFP) must be provided as descried in section 3.3.9 of the RFP. The Price Proposal is counted towards the page limit as described in section 3.2.2.

2. Will the consultant or the library participant be responsible for any previous years of E-Rate funding applied for?

Response: The E-Rate Needs Assessment study narrowed it down to up to 35 Oregon libraries and none of them currently have assistance so it’s from the very beginning.

3. Does the state of Oregon have an E-rate consultant on staff or retained that will be a resource? Are they expecting the consultant team to provide the E-Rate specialist service?

Response: There is no E-Rate consultant on staff, nor will one be retained that will be a resource for the purposes of the OBO Oregon Libraries E-Rate Consultant Project. The expectation is for the Consultant to provide E-Rate specialist services to conduct the activities as described in section 2.3.2 Project Overview, Background, and Purpose and section 2.4 Scope of Work/Specifications of the RFP for up to 35 rural and tribal public libraries.

Thank you for your continued efforts and interest.
