CalRecycle is issuing Addendum No. 1 to provide the following information to all interested parties.

1. Attached is a list of all businesses that have expressed an interest in the contract to date (Attachment 1).

2. The following questions were received during the Questions and Answers period.

Q 1 For this RFP, would CalRecycle accept a focused approach to preparation of the

Tribal Engagement Plan, such as selecting five large tribal lands and five small tribal lands throughout the state of California to attempt to obtain representative information for the purposes of the Study?

A 1 CalRecycle would accept this approach as an opportunity to gain more in-depth information to support the needs assessment and thoughtfully includes a diversity of perspectives representing different regions. CalRecycle would also encourage additional engagement efforts with Tribes throughout California, such as virtual listening sessions or roundtables, to supplement this approach, recognizing that each Tribe is unique and can add value to the needs assessment.
