Answer: Approximately 300
3. Please provide the total quantity of G.P. dispensers that will be required for the installation in the 1131 UWM Academic Building Lavatory stalls.
Answer: 1131
4. Can you provide the paper towel and toilet tissue dispenser SKUs you were interested in? Asking because GP has multiple color options available in both the enMotion towel dispensers and Compact toilet tissue dispensers. Plus, we have just recently begun to launch new versions of these dispensers. Same overall functions, but new look and feel. Sales recommendation would be to look at newer models?
Answer: Paper Towels #59426A and Toilet Paper #56744A and #56790A
5. Clarification on the Tab (B) section 4.2 on the bid. Is this optional or are we missing tab (B) on the original RFB (as I do not see this attached on the bid).
Answer: A “Tab B” would only be required, if a vendor is taking exceptions to the terms and conditions included in the RFB or is requesting that a vendor contract be considered as part of the response to the RFB.
