TO: ALL PROSPECTIVE VENDORS

SOLICITATION NO.: RTQ-02181

TITLE: LAW ENFORCEMENT EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES

This Addendum is and does become a part of the above-mentioned Solicitation.

A. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

The following are the answers to questions received:

Question 1: For verification of authorized resellers/distributors is there another way? Requesting letterhead from 40-50 different manufacturers creates a heavy administrative burden. Would a link from the manufacturer's public website showing a list of authorized distributors be acceptable?

Answer 1: In accordance with Section 2, Special Terms and Conditions, Paragraph 2.4 Qualification Criteria, of the solicitation, Vendor(s) shall provide documentation evidencing the Vendor is a manufacturer, an authorized distributor or dealer / reseller of a manufacturer of law enforcement equipment and supplies. Vendor(s) shall list the name(s) of the manufacturer(s) in Section 4.02 for cross-referencing. Vendor(s) shall furnish one of the following as applicable:

a) Manufacturer – letter on Company’s letterhead and provide a verifiable webpage or price list

b) Authorized distributor or dealer / reseller – letter on manufacturer’s letterhead stating the Vendor is an authorized distributor or dealer / reseller of the distributor.

Question 2: Hope all is well; I have a question in reference to RTQ just put out for vendors to sell to Miami Dade PD. We have on file on the 1088 contract with you all most all the vendors that are listed on the RTQ we are Distributors for and or on file. Do you need us to re do all the contract and get new refences because we also have that on our contract.

Thanks.

Answer 2: Vendors are required to provide the appropriate information listed under Paragraph 2.4, Qualification Criteria, to be considered for Prequalification in the pool.

Question 3: For the included document in the Packet for this solicitation "Contractor Due Diligence Affidavit", if none of the three listed disclosures are applicable to our company (no lawsuits, no defaults, no debarment, etc.), are we still required to complete and submit a statement saying that the document is not applicable to us?

Or no action is required on our part if not applicable to us and we just have to acknowledge the document/requirement in Bidsync for future ITQ's? Thank you!

Answer 3: Yes, a completed “Contractor Due Diligence Affidavit” form is to be completed and included with a firm’s submittal packet to be considered for placement in the pool.
