Answers to Questions

Where applicable, each question references the appropriate Bid Solicitation section.

Section Reference Question (Bolded) and Answer

General When trying to open a Portable Document Format (PDF) document I am receiving an error message and unable to access the PDF document. How should I proceed?

It is recommended that users utilize Internet Explorer to view PDF documents. Certain PDF forms cannot be opened in the Chrome or Firefox built in PDF viewers that are enabled by default. If using Chrome or Firefox it is recommended that the file is downloaded instead by clicking the download button in the upper right-hand corner of the browser after an error message is received. An alternative option is to disable the built in PDF viewers in Chrome or Firefox.

General Should I check that I have properly completed and attached all of the required documents with my submitted Quote?

Yes. Prior to the Quote Opening Deadline, a Vendor {Bidder} should review the documents comprising of the submitted Quote to ensure that all of the required documents have been completed and attached. Oftentimes a Quote is deemed nonresponsive because a Vendor {Bidder} fails to attach a required form or attaches a blank form. To review a submitted Quote, a Vendor {Bidder} should log into NJSTART and review each document attached to the Quote submission. Instructions on how to review a submitted Quote can be found in the Divisions Quick Reference Guide entitled, How to Review a Submitted Quote- which is available in the NJSTART Vendor Support Page under Vendor Reference Guides.
