Question 3
Posted: 11/1/2023
Question: Per RFP Page 26 1a. Proposal Form, as the items pertaining to “required FTA certifications” (Exhibit D – FTA Clauses and Certifications, page 30) are not part of the RFP, where can they be found?

Question 5
Posted: 11/1/2023
Question: Per RFP page 27 3. Executive Summary and Proof of Registration, “the Offeror should submit one executive summary that is applicable to all of the Specialization Areas.” If we are submitting separate proposals for each Specialization Area, should the Offeror include the same executive summary with each submission?
Response: Refer to answer to Question 4.
Question 6
Posted: 11/1/2023
Question: Is it worth it for a company that is not DBE to apply for this project? Would one be rejected if the prime were not DBE but a subconsultant that is being used on the team is DBE?
Response: This agreement will be for on-call A&E services so DBE participation will vary per the funding of each task order assignment. There will be a DBE participation goal for federally funded task order assignments. The County will accept proposals from all DBE and non-DBE Offerors. DBE participation is not a requirement; however, the County encourages DBE participation by both prime contractors and subcontractors to meet the DBE goals set for task order assignments.
