PROPOSAL QUESTIONS

Can you please clarify your bid lines on your Grocery bid? For example, for mustard you have "qty 80." However, under mustard you have Packs - 245; Pumps - 10; Gallons - 45. Do you need a total of 80, 245, 10, or 45?

It looks like a clerical error. Please combine the 80 with the 245 for a total of 325. We apologize for any confusion. Thanks for catching that one!

I am trying to enter in all the information and coming across this below. Is there an unlocked sheet (Paper Goods Proposal) you can send for the data entry?

Yes, we have uploaded a revised copy with the cell unlocked.

Would you consider extending bid due date ?

Yes, ACTION has extended the due date for the RFP submissions to Thursday June 7, 2018 by 12:00pm PST.

Do you have a Produce bid pending to be published or published?

No, ACTION does not purchase enough produce to meet the bid threshold.

Can you also confirm that this is an all or nothing bid? It states that in the document, but I just want to make sure.

The following bids are single distributor awards; Dairy, Supplies (Paper Goods), Fresh Bread.

To whom should I be sending questions for clarification to?

Any questions concerning any ACTION Cooperative RFP's to be directed to the Lead District, Dublin USD, Frank Castro, Director, 925-828-2551 castrofrank@dublinusd.org
