Ladies/Gentlemen:

SBE is issuing this Question and Answer Set #5 in response to the questions asked through August 1, 2022. The statements and interpretations of contract requirements, which are stated in the following questions of potential offers, are not binding on the State, unless the State expressly amends the RFP. Nothing in the State’s responses to these questions is to be construed as agreement to or acceptance by the State of any statement or interpretation on the part of the vendor asking the question as to what the contract does or does not require.

1. Refer to page 42, “C. Executive Summary (Submit under TAB C)” it is mentioned section “4.16. Offeror Responsibilities” whereas in the RFP document section 4.15 is an Offeror Responsibilities and 4.16 is Acceptance of Terms and Conditions.

Answer: The RFP reference will be amended and corrected to reflect that section 4.15 is Offeror Responsibilities.

2. Refer to page 22, 3.8.1. Personnel Experience state refers to “section 2.3.2- Staffing, 2.3.3- Duties and Hours, and 2.3.4- Qualifications” whereas the correct section number is 2.3.1.

Answer: Yes that is acceptable and the RFP will be updated and corrected.

3. Refer to page 43, “Section G Offeror Qualifications and Capabilities” which states the Offeror Experience criteria in Section 3.10.1. This section is not mentioned in the RFP. Please specify the correct section number.
