Can you explain the anticipated piggybacking option? Do you mean that any other school district in the state of LA might piggyback?

Does this bid requirement on page 4 -- "Objections to the specifications and/or bid conditions must be filed in writing and must be received by the Purchasing Agent at least five (5) business days prior to the date specified
for acceptance of the bid" also refer to any exceptions to terms we may be requesting? If we need to submit requested exceptions or deviations at least 5 days before the due date, where do we sent them?

Can you clarify this bid requirement: "For award consideration, vendor must offer at least 60% of the evaluation items. Evaluation items will include items similar to, but not limited to, bulletin board materials, pocket charts,
manipulatives, games, flash cards, craft items, musical items." Is there a definitive list of desired items so that we can determine we carry at least 60^ of those listed categories?

Any other school districts or public entities may piggyback. RPSB and the vendor would agree to this on an individual basis - once we give our approval the public entity would reach out to the vendor for permission to
piggyback on the bid. There are numerous other Districts and Police Juries that have piggybacked on our current bid.
Exceptions to terms may be written on your bid form.

What is meant by this requirement in the portal? Can we list our Tax ID #? - Enter your Contractor's License Number or Certificate of Responsibility
|
|
SCCGRFP on 08-Apr-2025 10:50:53 AM CDT
We are unclear as to whether this bid is open to instructional resources/materials like professional books, flash cards, reading posters, etc. Or, is this bid prioritizing more like craft supplies (scissors/glue/etc.)?
|
|
RPSBKB on 08-Apr-2025 12:50:51 PM CDT
RPSB will not refund the cost of a bid bond.
Your tax id number may be used in place of the contractor's license number.
This bid would cover a variety of items including all of those mentioned in your question. We will be looking at a number of items - companies with more of the items (see list in the answer section of this bid) will score
higher in our evaluation.

Is ELA/Reading curriculum included in this RFP's scope?
|
|
RPSBKB on 10-Apr-2025 12:59:37 PM CDT
This is a catalog discount bid; if ELA/Reading materials are included in your catalog you may include it in your bid. However, items such as pencils, colors, flashcards, etc. will also be needed. If you only offer ELA/Reading
Materials this would not be a good fit.
