Answer: See Amendment 0001, Section L Instructions , Conditions and Notices to Bidders, revised L.6 Site Visit.

7. Page 97- Factor 1, first paragraph- “Each of the topics below shall be included in the narrative, tabbed in the non-price/cost proposal, and discussed separately.” We intend on including these subjects in a narrative, but can PNSY please advise what it means by “tabbed in the non-price / cost proposal”?

Answer: Please see section L Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Bidders, L.5, Content of Proposals, (a) Non-cost/price (1); “Include only information in response to Factors 1, 2, 3 and 4 separated by tabs, as applicable.”
