The Pre-Bid Conference was attended by several prospective bidders, and the Procurement Officer reviewed key sections of the IFB, including Minimum Qualifications, Contractor Requirements, Procurement Instructions, and Bid Format. The Scope of Work Requirements was reviewed in detail by the Director of General Services. The Procurement Officer advised that questions raised would be answered in writing, and responses provided at the conference were to aid in understanding the State's requirements.

The document provides responses to several questions raised by the attendees, including chair leg requirements, chair dimensions, delivery and loading considerations, and weight capacity requirements.

Answer: The Chairs need to have four legs no sled legs.

Answer: We would prefer to keep as close to the dimensions as possible.
Question 3. - Are we going to be able to park right in front of the building for a delivery?
Answer: Yes. Since the building does not have a loading dock, all deliveries come through the front door.
