About this file

This document is a Questions & Answers (Q&A) addendum for Solicitation CC#23-07, a Competitive Contract Digital Archive for File Preservation issued by the City of Cape May, New Jersey. The solicitation seeks services for digitizing and microfilming construction department files, with an anticipated project start date within 2 months of bid receipt. Bidders can visit the Construction office during normal working hours (7:30-3:30) to view files, and the files will be organized and microfilmed in block & lot order. The project requires PDF/A compliant imaging and will follow DORES (Department of Record) microfilming standards, though the city is not currently seeking Imaging Registration.

The Q&A document provides critical clarification on indexing and pricing details, indicating that indexing will be priced per block, lot, and address, with bidders expected to provide pricing as listed on the bid proposal form. The city does not specify an average number of pages per permit, instructing bidders to rely on their prior experience in scanning construction department files. The document suggests flexibility in the workflow process, allowing documents to be scanned and microfilm created from those scanned images, provided they meet state standards. No specific budget or funding sources are mentioned in this Q&A document.
