Page 21 of the RFP, Paragraph P (Pricing), Item 4., states:
All prices quoted shall be in United States dollars and "whole cent," no cent fractions
shall be used. There are no exceptions.
Pricing requested in the bid is often, “per impression,” “per image,” and “per sheet” and is
for hundreds to thousands of impressions, images or sheets. One half cent difference per unit
is significant. Does this require a vendor not to charge one half cent per unit or that
invoicing must be done in whole cents?
All prices quoted, including those for “per impression,” “per image,” and “per sheet,”
should be quoted in whole cents, not fractions of cents.
If a vendor has two (2) other divisions within California but not within the County of
Alameda, can the vendor use these other divisions to perform services under this contract?
It is the intent of this bid to contract with Small Local Emerging Businesses who will
use products, labor and materials available in Alameda County to meet the contract
deliverables.
If a bidder has three (3) other divisions located out of state, can a vendor use these out of
state divisions to perform services under this bid?
See response to Q2 above.
Will pending orders with fulfillment scheduled after the end of the current contract be
honored under the current [previously issued Blanket Purchase Order (BPO)]?
All orders pending prior to the expiration of the contract (August 31, 2010) will be
honored.
Can two or more SLEB vendors “partner” or submit a bid as a “joint venture”? If so, is there
special form that needs to be submitted with the bid?
Per page 19, Section K (SUBMITTAL OF BIDS), item 9:
Only one bid response will be accepted from any one person, partnership, corporation,
or other entity; however, several alternatives may be included in one response. For
purposes of this requirement, “partnership” shall mean, and is limited to, a legal
partnership formed under one or more of the provisions of the California or other state’s
Corporations Code or an equivalent statute.
