E. Question: All the last bids were rejected. Is there a difference between
non-responsive and rejected?
F. Answer: Yes there is a difference. Please see Notice Inviting Bids Rose
Bowl Cleaning and Administrative Offices Housekeeping, section 1.8
“Award of Bid and Determination of Responsiveness” for further
specification.
G. Question: Are you guys just looking at a closer view for each event?
H. Answer: The Price Matrix is now consistent to keep an accurate
comparison for all bids.
I. Question: Is the Price Matrix is based only on the labor? Are we
supposed to show a line item for the equipment as well?
J. Answer: No. The cost of equipment should be built into the staffing rates.
K. Question: When will we know if we are awarded the contract, following
the board meeting date or prior?
L. Answer: Prior to the next RBOC Board Meeting on June 4, 2015, a Notice
of Intent to Award Contract for Rose Bowl Cleaning and Administrative
Housekeeping will be distributed to all bidders notifying them of which
company the RBOC intends to award the contract to.
M. Question: When the bid was rejected did it open it up completely for any
new companies to submit a bid?
N. Answer: Yes, as long as they attended the mandatory pre-bid meeting on
May 19, 2015.
O. Question: For the Price Matrix are there a set number of events instead
of a range? If so how many?
P. Answer: Yes. The Price Matrix has a fixed number for the various types of
events (football, soccer, concert, minor events, etc.) and it is all locked in
place, all that needs to be entered are the staffing rates.
Q. Question: Once a contract is provided to the winning bidder is it possible
to replace a cashier’s check with a bond?
R. Answer: That is not necessary. Once the contract is fully executed the
cashier’s check will be returned to you.
