Vendor Questions and Answers

Submitted Questions About This Proposal

These are vendor questions for which the agency has supplied an answer.

Questions
Two related questions regarding the Submission Forms: 1) In filling out the electronic Submission Forms, I find myself unable to include an electronic signature (the forms only accept text inputs). Typically, I would copy and paste a scanned image of my signature into the form to keep everything electronic, but I can’t seem to be able to do that in this submission form. Alternatively, I can always fill out the form electronically, print it out and sign it, and rescan it to then submit it electronically. Does that work for you, or were you hoping to receive the form in its native electronic format? 2) Regarding the Technical and Original Proposal Packages – is it acceptable to submit the Submission Forms electronically in their current format (all forms in one document), or would you like us to include the individual for pages within the designated sections of our Proposal Packages (ie. the Reference Forms within the Technical Proposal Package and the other forms in the Original Proposal Package?)
Asked Dec 13, 2024 3:20PM
Answer:

1) The document can be saved as a pdf, which should then allow the copy and paste a scanned image process. The documents can be printed and signed then scanned. It is a business decision regarding what process you follow to sign the documents. 

2) The content of the proposal packages should be followed. The Technical Proposal Package content is described in Section 2.0 of the RFP. The Original Proposal Package content is described in Section 3.0 of the RFP. 

You mentioned this project will be split over two fiscal years. What fiscal calendar does the college run on? July to June, January to December or other?
Asked Dec 16, 2024 9:41AM
Answer:

The College fiscal year is from July 1 to June 30.
