| On page 75 of the bid under "Experience, References & Certification," the form requests a minimum of four (4) clients we are currently serving. However, each client entry includes a field labeled "Date Completed." Could you please clarify whether this section refers to past clients or those we are currently serving? | 7/9/2025 4:40:38 AM | This section refers to both past and current. If you have a client that you have been servicing for a minimum of a year, and you are still servicing them you would enter - Ongoing, Active, or Current (something to indicate that you have met the requirement, and you are currently working with this reference, so when/if we reach out them we will have that information.) | 7/9/2025 7:55:01 AM |

Hi,
We have downloaded the bid documents, but it has a watermark saying draft under Sample Agreement. Are we expected to review the Sample Agreement? We only have the Exhibit_A_Pricing attachment, but the main RFP document talks about Tab A to Tab G. Please guide us on where we can find the rest of the Tab information. |
7/9/2025 5:14:38 PM | Please see Addendum 2. | 7/16/2025 3:22:15 PM |
| Could you please share an editable word version of the Sample Agreement? | 7/10/2025 2:37:55 PM | Please see Addendum 2 and Attachment B RFP 25-051-MC Sample Agreement. | 7/16/2025 3:30:43 PM |
| Can you please provide a map with the locations of the poles to be serviced via drone? While your service area map is helpful to get an idea of the area, more detailed information like where the poles are will allow us to be more competitive from a pricing perspective. | 7/15/2025 4:58:43 PM | Please see Addendum 2. | 7/16/2025 3:23:14 PM |
| What is the start date? | 7/16/2025 3:16:31 PM |
