We should have the intent to award posted on Wednesday. We’ll extend the protest period to account for the holidays.

We had a lot more responses across more lines than we expected so it has taken us a little longer than anticipated.

In the initial documents, it stated that the award was to be made on 12/8; however, I was unable to locate any information on the website.

Thank you.

A manufacturer can revoke and reassign their contractual rights to resellers as they see fit. There is no contractual restriction on the number of changes and when they can happen. The terms of the contract (pricing, products, etc) are what the RFP covers.

However, there are operational considerations that may make changing resellers too often unfeasible. Those considerations are unique to each contract and awardee, so I can’t give a blanket statement as to what would apply here. I will say that we can usually work something out that is feasible for all parties involved. To date it hasn’t been an issue.

If resellers changes are allowed, can they be made monthly, quarterly or one time per contract period?

Sure. We care about the cost column as that is what we pay the vendors. We can always round up to make the numbers more readable. We cannot round down.

Just place your items in the blank Exhibit A spreadsheet. If we are unsure if the product fits the RFP standard we will contact you for clarification.

The formula works for me in all of the cells. However, it is not material. You need to bid the correct cost to OETC. The price is simply the cost plus the administrative fee. The scoring is based on cost, not price.

It seems the only the first Cost & Price cells have a formula.

Where would we reference that our product is an equivalent/alternate to a product/s that is listed on the SMART or Promethean tabs?
