Please clarify that the 25 page white paper will be the executive summary of the eight (8) questions, while the sixty (60) slides of the technical approach will outline the details of the response to the eight (8) questions.

A: This is correct.

Please clarify how you wish the five (5) sections (Technical Approach, Staff Resources, Relevant Experience, Past Performance and Business Management Proposals) be bound. Will each section be bound in single volumes for hard copy and electronic submissions?

A: Technical approach, staff resources, relevant experience and past performance shall be bound in one (1) volume. Business Management Proposal shall be separately bound. Each section will be bound in a single volume for electronic submission.
