Exhibit "E" Acknowledgment of Addenda

Exhibit "E" is an acknowledgment form used by the City of Hayward and other local jurisdictions to confirm that proposers have received all addenda issued and incorporated into a Request for Proposal (RFP). The form requires proposers to document the addendum number, date received, and obtain authorization through a printed name, title, and signature in blue ink only from an authorized representative. The form serves as a critical compliance document in the solicitation process, as the instructions explicitly state that failure to list received addenda constitutes acknowledgment of receipt of all addenda, whether or not physically received by the proposer. This mechanism protects the issuing jurisdiction by ensuring all bidders have access to the same modified bid documents and prevents claims of non-receipt as grounds for bid protests or disputes.

The acknowledgment form contains no pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, or funding requirements, as it functions solely as a procedural compliance document. Proposers must complete and submit this exhibit as part of their sealed proposal package to demonstrate awareness of and incorporation of all RFP amendments into their bid response.
