QUESTION 1: I have a question about the cost proposal. The Vendor Specifications (pg. 20) state that each child may be tutored for "one to five days per week, one to two hours each day per subject." Since this proposal is unclear as to the actual number of hours of tutoring that would be offered, would it be permissible to quote a range based on the information given?
