RFI2026-03 Question Template.xls

This is a Question Template document issued by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) in support of RFI2026-03 regarding Roadway Work Zone Safety Training. The template provides instructions for vendors and interested parties to submit questions about the RFI using a standardized Microsoft Excel spreadsheet format. Questions must be submitted via email attachment with a specific file naming convention (RFI202601Questions.FirmName) and must reference "RFI202601" in the email subject line. The document establishes a structured format for questions, requiring respondents to identify the specific location of their inquiry by RFI page number, section, paragraph number, attachment name, or appendix name to ensure clarity and organization of responses. No specific response deadline, bidder conference date, or award timeline is provided in this template document itself, as it serves solely as a procedural guide for the question submission process.

The RFI is not a request for proposals, request for quotes, or invitation for bids, and therefore no contract will be awarded based on RFI responses. NYSDOT will not reimburse respondents for costs incurred in preparing submissions or participating in demonstrations. All submitted materials become the property of NYSDOT and are subject to New York State's Freedom of Information Law. The underlying RFI2026-03 seeks information from vendors capable of developing and delivering work zone safety training to comply with federal requirements under 23 CFR Part 630 Subpart J, which mandates that NYSDOT personnel involved in roadway work zone activities receive appropriate training and periodic updates.
