QUESTION

Applicable to which section?

(Solicitation Page Number and Paragraph) DEPARTMENT's RESPONSE/ANSWER

6 Does the DOR expect to receive this form for Individual Sample Collectors or a

Collection Site that a Collection Contractor may use? Since the collections being requested by the DOR may be a single collection and not known until the time of scheduling, it would be impossible to identify at submission. Does the

DOR consider the Sample Collectors or Sites that the Collection Contractor may use a Sub-Contractor?

Attachment J: Sub-Contractor Form Reference Section 448.095(2), F.S.

There doesn’t appear to be a location to add pricing for Category B? Is this an oversight or should the Vendor use the grid on the Category A Cost Information

Sheet?
