About this file
This is an Offeror's Checklist document for a South Carolina state and local contract opportunity titled "SCJB Website Phase 2." The checklist provides guidance to potential bidders on avoiding common mistakes when submitting bid and proposal responses. Key requirements include: ensuring bids do not include standard offeror contract forms or unnecessary boilerplate clauses unless expressly required; confirming that the bid does not take exception to any mandatory state requirements; properly marking all protected, confidential, or trade secret information in accordance with submission guidelines while avoiding marking the entire response as confidential; properly acknowledging all issued amendments; including a signed copy of the solicitation cover page signed by an authorized representative; and including all requested documentation. Offerors are instructed to raise any concerns or questions during pre-bid conferences or designated question-and-answer periods rather than within the proposal itself, as concerns raised after opening cannot be addressed.
The checklist emphasizes that responsiveness will be evaluated against the actual solicitation requirements rather than against this checklist itself, and offerors are not required to submit the checklist with their response. No specific information regarding pricing, contract term, award timeline, site visits, or bidder conferences is detailed within this particular document, as it serves solely as a procedural guide to ensure bid compliance and completeness.

OFFEROR’S CHECKLIST
AVOID COMMON BID/PROPOSAL MISTAKES
Review this checklist prior to submitting your bid/proposal.
If you fail to follow this checklist, you risk having your bid/proposal rejected.
· Do not include any of your standard contract forms.
· Unless expressly required, do not include any additional boilerplate contract clauses.
· Reread your entire bid/proposal to make sure your bid/proposal does not take exception to any of the state’s mandatory requirements.
· Make sure you have properly marked all protected, confidential, or trade secret information in accordance with the instructions entitled: SUBMITTING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. DO NOT mark your entire bid/proposal as confidential, trade secret, or protected. Do not include a legend on the cover stating that your entire response is not to be released.
· Have you properly acknowledged all amendments? Instructions regarding how to acknowledge an amendment should appear in all amendments issued.
· Make sure your bid/proposal includes a copy of the solicitation cover page. Make sure the cover page is signed by a person that is authorized to contractually bind your business.
· Check to ensure your bid/proposal includes everything requested.
· If you have concerns about the solicitation, do not raise those concerns in your response. After opening, it is too late! If this solicitation includes a pre-bid/proposal conference or a question & answer period, raise your questions as a part of that process! Please see instructions under the heading "submission of questions" and any provisions regarding pre-bid/proposal conferences.
This checklist is included only as a reminder to help offerors avoid common mistakes. Responsiveness will be evaluated against the solicitation, not against this checklist. You do not need to return this checklist with your response.
