1. Instructions to Proposers (p. 1) The Instructions require three (3) original hard copies and
one (1) USB flash drive of the complete proposal and also state that the cost proposal must be
submitted separately in a sealed envelope/package. Question: Could the County please clarify
whether the USB flash drive should include the cost proposal as a separate file within the same
device, or whether the cost proposal must also be provided on a separate USB flash drive, sealed
in its own envelope/package, in addition to the hard copy cost proposal?
A: The cost proposal needs to be separate file on the USB. Only 1 USB is required.

lists Gus Rojas as the contact for questions, while the Instructions to Proposers and cover page

the designated contact. Question: Could the County please clarify who is the official point of
contact for all written questions and communications during the Cone of Silence period —
Shannon Metty, Gus Rojas, or both?
A: The point of contact is Shannon Metty, smetty@jeffersoncountyfl.gov.
