About this file

This is an addendum to a Copier Request for Proposal issued by Forest Hills Public Schools dated February 24, 2021. The addendum provides clarifications and answers to vendor inquiries regarding equipment specifications and contract requirements. Key clarifications include confirmation that a 5% Bid Bond is required, along with Performance and Payment Bonds as outlined in Section 1.10 of the RFP. Regarding equipment specifications, the school district clarified that the "large capacity drawer" requirement refers to total paper tray capacity of 4,000 pages or more, and that locations including Knapp Forest Elementary's main office and Central Middle School's mail room will continue to utilize 40 ppm machines as originally specified in the RFP despite their high annual usage volumes. A revised Appendix A was posted containing current page counts for existing equipment and a new line item for PaperCut support.

The addendum confirms that PaperCut support should be included in vendor quotes and specifies that the school district is interested in PaperCut migration and upgrade to the most current version available rather than a fresh installation. Vendors should reference the updated Appendix A documentation posted alongside the addendum for current equipment details and revised specifications. All responses should comply with the bonding requirements and equipment specifications as clarified in this addendum.

Re: Copier RFP – Vendor Inquiries

Clarifications and answers to vendor questions received before the deadline for questions have been provided below.

QUESTION ANSWER

1. Is the 5% Bid Bond required for this RFP? Yes, the Bid Bond is required.

2. Are either the Performance Bonds and/or

Payment Bonds required for this RFP?

Yes, Performance and Payment Bonds are required for this RFP, as described in Section 1.10 of the RFP.

3. Do you have current page counts on the existing equipment?

Yes. A revised version of Appendix A with these details included on the “Current Copier Details” tab has been posted alongside this addendum.

4. Can you please clarify #7 on each of the equipment spec sheets, it states “large capacity drawer (4000+)”. Are you looking for total paper tray capacity to be 4,000 plus or an additional high capacity tray that holds 4,000 pages in addition to the standard paper trays?

For these devices, FHPS is looking for total paper tray capacity to be 4000+.

5. I noticed on the current copier details page that the machines slated for Knapp Forest

Elementary (main office) and Central Middle

School (mail room) both have very high annual usage and are asking for 40 ppm machines.

Will this volume be routed to another location?

If not, you should spec 90 ppm machines at these locations.

FHPS requests that vendors propose the machines required by the RFP. The locations described in the question should have 40 ppm machines.
