Questions and Answers IFB No. 304T-26-325M2.1 Title:

Question No.

Question Answer

Please confirm whether the manufacturer/distribution license requirement may be satisfied by the licensed feed manufacturer, distributor, or subcontractor supplying the product, or whether the prime contractor must independently hold a Texas commercial feed license at the time of bid submission or award.

Reference Section A.7.1 which states: "Per Texas Statute, Agriculture Code, Chapter 141 - Commercial Feed, Section

141.001 and 141.021, a person may not manufacture or distribute commercial feed in this state without a valid current license issued by the Texas Feed and Fertilizer Control Service for each feed facility that manufactures or distributes commercial feed. A person making only retail sales of commercial feed bearing the label of a licensed manufacturer, guarantor, or distributor is not required to obtain a license."

Prime Contractor Licensing under Texas Agriculture Code, Chapter 141 (ref. Part A §A.7.1; Attachment F, Lines 1, 2–3, 6–7, 12) Attachment F repeatedly requires conformance with Texas Agriculture Code, Chapter 141 - Commercial Feed. Could the State confirm whether (a) the prime contractor must hold a current Texas commercial feed license, or (b) it is sufficient for the prime to source through licensed feed manufacturers, distributors, or feed mill subcontractors?

Reference question and answer 1.

In Section A.4.2 of the package, the invitation states that the Manufacturer's Price List + Contractor's Constant is applicable to Lines 6-7 and Lines 13-21 of the IFB. However, in Attachment F, on Page 5, Item 4 states that the Pricing Structure for Lines 6-7 is 'Firm with no escalation'. In addition, on Page 13 of Attachement 5, Item 5 states that the Pricing Structure for lines 13-21 is 'Firm with no escalation'.

These two sections of the IFB are not consistent in terms of the pricing to utilized when bidding. Will you please clarify the Pricing Structure that is acceptable for Lines 6-7 and Lines 13- 21 of the IFB?

There is no inconsistency between Part A and Attachment F.

Section A.4.2 states: "Contractor's Constant must be firm, all-inclusive prices at a fixed rate for the life of the contract." The references in Attachment F to Section A.4.2 are to direct prospective Respondents to Section A.4.2 for how the price per ton will be calculated. Again, the Contractor's Constant can not be increased during the life of the contract.
