About this file
This is a Q&A document from the Governor's Office of Management Budget (GOMB) dated December 17, 2024, regarding RFP B-45603 for Municipal Advisory Services. The document addresses key questions about proposal requirements and appendices, specifically clarifying that the appendix requested in Section D.5.2 does not count toward the page limit for Section D.5, while other additional supporting information will count toward the page limit unless otherwise specified.
The document provides important clarification regarding Business Enterprise Program (BEP) participation requirements, noting that while there is no specific BEP participation goal in the BidBuy solicitation, GOMB applies a statutory aspirational 30% participation goal aggregated across bond sales each fiscal year. BEP-certified firms are not required to submit BEP Utilization plans but should provide sufficient information to support responses to RFP Section D.5.4. Additionally, interested firms must respond to all six Commitment to Diversity scoring factors and include supporting materials as outlined in the Commitment to Diversity Answer Sheet and Vendor Guidance document.

Question GOMB Answer RFP Section D.5.2 requests that information be provided as an appendix. Does this appendix apply to the page limit for Section D.5?
No, the appendix requested by item D.5.2. does not count toward to page limit for Section D.5.
Can proposers provide additional supporting information as an appendix in response to the questions in the RFP Section D.5? And if so, does this count toward the page limit?
Firms may provide additional supporting information. However, additional information will count toward the Section D.5. page limit unless otherwise specified.
Do BEP-certified firms intending to meet the 30% participation goal through self-performance need to include more than Part I of the BEP Utilization Plan?
Please note that the BidBuy solicitation page does not include a BEP participation goal. However, as noted in RFP Section A.24., GOMB applies the statutory aspirational 30% participation goal in the aggregate across bond sales each fiscal year.
Therefore, firms need not submit BEP Utilization plans, but should provide information sufficient to support responses to RFP Section D.5.4 or similar items.
Should a self-performing BEP firm submit more than a completed Utilization Plan in response to the Commitment to Diversity scoring factors?
Yes, interested firms should respond as appropriate and possible to all six Commitment to Diversity scoring factors included in the Commitment to Diversity Answer Sheet attached to the solicitation page and include supporting materials. Please see the Commitment to Diversity Vendor Guidance document attached to the solicitation page and RFP Section B for additional information.
