About this file

This document is an addendum to a Centralized Request for Quote (CRFQ) issued by the West Virginia Department of Administration Purchasing Division for Library Print Materials. The addendum extends the bid opening date from August 13, 2024 to August 15, 2024 and provides answers to vendor questions. The solicitation is for a statewide master agreement contract to serve the Division of Culture & History located in Charleston, West Virginia. It includes renewal options for years 2-4. The agency clarified that vendors must provide pricing for the specific titles and formats listed, even if an alternative format is available. Incomplete bids will not be accepted.

The addendum also explains the rationale for including the optional renewal years, which is to allow vendors to anticipate price increases and provide the agency an opportunity to continue working with the same vendor for multiple years rather than rebidding annually. The solicitation does not include any set-asides, information on incumbent contractors, or details on funding sources.

CRFQ DCH24-07 - Library Print Materials Answers to Vendor Question

Vendor Question 01:

If a book distributor doesn't have the book available in the desired format listed in the product category column, can we quote the available format and notate the bid, or would you prefer we do not list a price on the bid Excel spreadsheet? For example, the product category lists Hardcover, and the distributor only has it available in Paperback, etc.

Agency Answer 01:

The books on the pricing page are representative of titles and categories the agency may purchase under the agreement’s terms. The books and their formats were chosen to set an objective means by which multiple bids could be compared. Therefore, in the interest of fairness, each bid must complete the pricing page given the selected titles and formats.

Vendor Question 02:

Will the agency accept incomplete bids if we can't quote an alternative option if the book isn't available in the desired product category?

Agency Answer 02:

We cannot accommodate a bid that does not include all the requested books.

Vendor Question 03 Is it possible to extend the bid due date from 6/24/24 to 7/1/24?

Agency Answer 03:

The bid due date has been extended.

Vendor Question 04:

Lastly, it is not common for us to receive a request to quote option years for book quotes, and it would be very helpful for us to understand why the agency is looking for vendors to quote the same list of books for option years 2 through 4.

Agency Answer 04:

Optional Renewal Years 2, 3, and 4 allow vendors to anticipate possible price increases, and give the agency an opportunity to continue working with the same vendor for multiple years versus having to re-bid the contract every year.
