Answer to Question

The question references the appropriate Bid Solicitation section.

Section Reference Question (Bolded) and Answer

Question: Hello. I only see 3 items in the bid. Transmissions (060-94), P&A (060-66), Windshield (060-97). Is this the complete bid? For Item # 2 P&A, there are many categories and line items. How do you choose what to bid within that line item?

Answer: The 3 price line numbers in the Items tab of the Bid Solicitation in NJSTART will not match the price line numbers on the State-Supplied Price Sheet. Bidders submitting a Quote must not use the Items tab in NJSTART to insert pricing; rather, Bidders must use the State-Supplied Price Sheet, as it contains required information – such as percentage discount or markup, brand name and regions served for each Category - necessary to the Quote evaluation.

To access the State-Supplied Price Sheet, please refer to the attachment titled ‘T2761 Revised 24DPP00965 Price Sheet 3.15.24‘ in the Attachments tab of Bid Solicitation 24DPP00965 in NJSTART.

Bid Solicitation Section 3.36 states, in pertinent part (emphasis added in bold): “The Bidder must submit its pricing using the State-Supplied Price Sheet accompanying this Bid Solicitation and located on the “Attachments” Tab.”

Please refer to Bid Solicitation Section 3.36 for further instructions regarding the State-Supplied Price Sheet.

Additionally, Bid Solicitation Sections 1.1, 3.36 and 4.1 list all of the Categories and price lines contained within the Bid Solicitation and State-Supplied Price Sheet.

Please refer to Bid Solicitation Section 1 for instructions and Quick Reference Guides on how to submit a Quote in NJSTART. Bid Solicitation Section 1 states, in pertinent part:

“Bidders are strongly encouraged to visit the NJSTART Vendor Support Page, which contains Quick Reference Guides (QRGs), supporting videos, a glossary of NJSTART terms, and helpdesk contact information. Bidders should utilize the QRGs before attempting to submit a Quote through NJSTART. It is the Bidder’s responsibility to ensure that the Quote and attachments have been properly submitted. Inquiries concerning the use of NJSTART may be directed to njstart@treas.nj.gov. The Division will not respond to substantive questions related to the Bid Solicitation or any other Contract via this email address.”
