Question 1
Posted: 7/11/2022
Question: There are multiple references in the Health RFP instructions that state a Proposal Form/Signature page needs to be completed in Section 9. There is no Section 9 in the RFP; it concludes at Section 8. I assume this is a typographical error that was carried over from the PBM RFP that has 9 Sections. Is someone able to confirm? I do not want to miss a form for completion. Thank you.

Question 6
Posted: 7/29/2022
Question: Medical, Dental, Vision RFP Formatting question – Page 13, Section 7 Proposal Questions. In the instructions for Section 7 at the top of the page it reads: “Please provide your responses on a separate sheet for all questions in Section 8…” Is that a typo? Section 8 in the Medical, Dental and Vision RFP is the Proposal Form.
Response: Please see Addenda.
Question 7
Posted: 7/29/2022
Question: Medical, Dental, Vision RFP Formatting question – Page 15, Section 7 Proposal Questions, Networks, Medical. In the Medical questions section, the questions on page 14 are numbered 1 through 7. On page 15, under the heading “Medical cont.,” the count begins anew and are numbered 1 through 11. In the question sections for “Financial & Reporting” and “Service & Reporting,” numbers are continued without restarting when a page break occurs. Do we maintain the RFP numbering as is?
Response: Please see Addenda.
Question 8
Posted: 7/29/2022
Question: Medical, Dental, Vision RFP Formatting question – Page 21, Section 8 Proposal Form. In the instructions (Section 3, number 5) it says the Proposal Form is Section 9. Is this a typo? How would the broker like to amend this? Do we call it Section 9 as the instructions indicate or do we leave it as Section 8 as in the RFP?
Response: Please see Addenda.
Question 9
Posted: 7/29/2022
Question: Medical, Dental, Vision RFP Attachment question – Page 8 of RFP, Terms & Conditions Page. On Section 8/9 (see above question) – Proposal Form, there is a paragraph that reads: “Proposer further agrees that the signing of this Proposal Form represents its acceptance of the terms and conditions set forth within said Request for Proposal.” In Section 3 – Instructions (page 8, number 5), it reads: “Each respondent MUST complete the Proposal Form/Signature page in Section 8/9 of This RFP, as well as the Terms & Conditions page.” Does the item on the Proposal Form equal the “Terms & Conditions page”?

Response: Please see Addenda.
