Any restatement of RFP text in the Question/Comment column shall NOT be construed as a change in the actual wording of the RFP document.

QUESTION / COMMENT STATE RESPONSE

1. Cost proposal shows to be per attendee per location (in the past the cost proposal was per seminar per location). Will the State guarantee a minimum number of attendees per session? It is difficult to put a number on each attendee if there are no minimums guaranteed.

Pursuant to pro forma Contract section C.1., “The State does not guarantee that it will buy any minimum quantity of goods or services under this Contract.”

Under the current contract, attendance has averaged approximately sixteen (16) in person attendees per session.

3. RFP Amendment Effective Date. The revisions set forth herein shall be effective upon release. All other terms and conditions of this RFP not expressly amended herein shall remain in full force and ef fect.
