ADDENDUM NO. 1

RECEIVE CONSIDERATION. FAILURE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ADDENDUM WILL

RFP Section 3.3.2 is changed as follows: (changes in red) Respondent shall submit one (1) complete electronic copy of the Proposal on electronic media (e.g., USB Drive) in a Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Project and PowerPoint files) version 2003 or later format, or searchable Adobe .PDF files..
Respondents shall divide the electronic copy into TWO (2) separate electronic files, one of which shall contain Respondent’s Qualifications, Exhibit E, and the other of which shall contain Exhibits A-D, Exhibit F, Exhibit G, and respondent’s standard form of agreement.
The following questions were received by September 20, 2023 at 12:00PM.
1. Per Section 3.3.2 (RFP p. 12), there will be two files for submission: File 1 contains Exhibit E; File 2 contains Exhibits A-D, Exhibit F, and respondent’s standard form of agreement.
a. Exhibit E, #8 (RFP p. 19) asks for any exceptions to Exhibit F. Should our response (exceptions to Exhibit F) be included in both File 1 and File 2 per the requested format above?
Answer: Exceptions to Exhibit F should be noted under #8 in Exhibit E.
Exhibit F is for the sole purpose of review.
b. Could SFA please confirm which file should contain Exhibit G?
Answer: Exhibit G should be included with Exhibit A-D, Exhibit F, and respondent’s standard form of agreement.
2. Will SFA accept a Cost Proposal page to supplement SFA’s Exhibit C-Financial Proposal for vendors to share additional details related to pricing and deliverables?
Answer: You can submit a cost proposal page in addition to Exhibit C.
3. Are you willing to accept an electronic signature in lieu of a wet ink signature on all forms?
Answer: Yes.
4. Are you willing to accept an electronic submission in lieu of the hard copies? If not, will SFA accept responses on a USB shipped to your location (no hard copy provided)?
Answer: Please review section 3.2.6 and 3.3.2 of the RFP for submittal instructions.
5. How does SFA measure success in a partnership?
Answer: In partnerships with external organizations such as high schools, community colleges, and non-profit organizations, SFA measures success by determining whether the resources (i.e., time, money, etc.) allocated result in an adequate return on investment. For example, SFA has dedicated scholarship funds for students graduating from designated high schools. We would expect that this resource would drive enrollment from these institutions resulting in a net revenue gain and/or expanded opportunities for under-served students.
6. In regard to the statement of work regarding requirement number 6, “Evaluate the efficacy of the university’s dual credit commitment”.
a. Can you please explain/clarify what is meant by dual credit? Is SFA looking for us to look at the transfer population?
Answer: In the context of this proposal, dual credit refers to high school students taking courses at SFA that can be used to complete degree requirements at the high school and applied to a college degree either at SFA or another institution as transfer work. Dual credit students are non-degree students who have not graduated from high school or earned a high school equivalency.
