QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. When is the effective date of the insurance policies?

Our current insurance policies for all listed vehicles are valid till October 31st 2015. We estimate that the new contract shall be awarded at the end of February 2015; therefore the pricing of the base year should be effective from the date of contract award. The Consulate expects to add new vehicles to the list during the base year and therefore the insurance for any new vehicle will be priced based on the costs established in the base year. However all other policies will need to be paid at the end of October 2015 upon their expiration.

2. Should the Compulsory insurance cover Gaza area?

All compulsory and 3rd party insurance shall be effective throughout the State of Israel and the West Bank areas under the Palestinian Authority control only. Coverage in Gaza area is not required under this contract. See Amendment # A001.
