The Cisco Silver Business Partner certification

The information in Addendum 1, Exhibit E is
provided for reference purposes only, and is subject
to change. Qualifications for Proposers can be
found in Form 3, Section C of the RFP.

Are Proposers who have not worked with CLT
previously automatically disqualified?

Is a Proposer’s technician who has just completed
the BICSI ITS training and certification prohibited
from working on site because the technician didn’t
have the certification 2 years prior?
Answer:
No, please reference the Modification in Item #1

note, the information in Addendum 1, Exhibit E is

A. of the RFP, which details the Experience and
Qualifications that should be included by the
