Answers to Questions

Note: Some of the questions have been paraphrased in the interest of readability and clarity. Each question is referenced by the appropriate Bid Solicitation {RFP} page number(s) and section where applicable.

b.) Also, Plastex is no longer in business.

a.) Please refer to Section 4.4.7 “Method of Bidding/Price Sheet Instructions”. The State has provided a “write-in” line for Vendors {Bidders} to provide a brand that is not listed on any price line. There is one (1) “write-in” line for each of the five (5) categories (price lines 00016, 00019, 00021, 00023 and 00033). In addition to providing the brand, the Vendor {Bidder} must fill out the discount, price list date, page numbers of the price list, catalog date and page numbers of the catalog.

Please follow these instructions for each write-in brand offered by copying and completing the price sheet.

b.) The Price Sheet will remain unchanged. This is not an all or none grouping award, therefore bidders do not have to bid on all line items/brands.

The item description in the “Items” tab / “General” sub-tab further states, “The Vendor {Bidder} must enter a Unit Cost of $1.00 for each price line item on the Items Tab. The Vendor {Bidder} must submit its pricing as an attachment using the State-supplied price sheet/schedule(s) accompanying this Bid Solicitation {RFP} and located on the Attachments Tab. Please refer to Bid Solicitation {RFP} Section 4.4.5 for more information”.
