Questions and Clarifications:
Q1: May a bidder offer only selected lines, with unsupported lines marked “No Bid,” and remain eligible for an individual-item award?
A1: Yes, but the county reserves the right to award as indicated on the specs.
Q2: Is one unit of each offered line the evaluation basis?
A2: Yes, per unit. Often times we may purchase only one of a certain item. However, based on the project site, this may vary.
Q3: Please confirm the required door/frame preparations, hollow-metal door core/construction, wood-door veneer/finish, and any hinge or hardware preparations that must be included in the listed prices.
