REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK

Questions are presented in the exact manner they were received.

BAYS - Received 7/17/2023

Question #1 Are there options to adjust the staffing pattern? For example, Okaloosa has 4.2 FTE’s allocated which would not ensure adequate staffing to cover full operations

Answer #1 Please see the updated language, included as a part of this Addendum.

Answer #2 If the Respondent choose to submit for both, the Respondent shall submit two proposals, one for each Circuit.

Question #3 Considering the ending of the current contracts, what’s the plan to implement services by the start date of 12/8/23?
