and Services
This Addendum modifies the original Bid documents for the above referenced Bid. Acknowledge
receipt of this addendum in the space provided on Bid Form (Attachment 2). Failure to do so may
disqualify your bid.
The following questions were submitted by the deadline and are answered in this addendum:
1) Question: Please confirm if the Port is accepting response submission for the subject RFQ
via email.
Response: Bids must be mailed or delivered to the submittal address by the due date and
time specified in the Invitation for Bid. E-mailed submissions will not be considered.
2) Question: The bid title references "Hardware," but Item 1 (CV-HSXHA-4-3N-51) is described as
"Appliance Software for Arrow HPE." Does the SKU include the HPE server hardware for the
two 3-node clusters, or will the Port supply the servers? What are the Server Model and
specifications?
Response: Yes, the SKU includes the HPE server hardware for the two 3-node clusters. The
server model (DL320 Gen 11) and specifications can be found at the following URL:
https://documentation.commvault.com/11.40/software/hyperscale_x_appliance_models_te
chnical_specifications.html
3) Question: Item 1 includes "Rack & Stack," while Enclosure A, Section C states that no on-site
services are required for installation or configuration. Who is expected to physically rack the
hardware? Please also confirm the delivery (Ship To) address and whether both clusters will
be installed at a single location.
Response: Physical rack and stack will be performed by a third-party service provider
relative to SKU CV-HSXHA-4-3N-51. The delivery address for each cluster is 530 Water Street,
Oakland CA 94607 and 1 Airport Drive, Oakland CA 94621.
4) Question: Appendix A-1, Section 3 grants a perpetual, irrevocable, fully-paid license, while this
bid is for a 5-year subscription. Please confirm that the 5-year subscription term for the
Commvault software satisfies Appendix A-1, and how the Port would like the license grant
addressed for subscription software.
Response: Should an awarding bid have a license structure that differs from Appendix-A-1,
the Port plans to discuss with the bidder whether there is a solution that can satisfy both
parties.

5) Question: Please confirm whether a Bid Bond/Bid Security and a Performance Bond are
required for this bid (the Instructions to Bidders reference these only if a box is checked).
Response: Bid Bond and Performance Bond are not required for this bid.
6) Question: Please confirm whether the Living Wage requirements (City Charter 728) are
expected to apply to this contract, given that it is primarily a purchase of goods and a
subscription with remote services, and that Attachment 6-A and 6-B are only required after
contract award.
Response: Yes. Bidders must acknowledge the Port's Living Wage Policy and compliance
by submitting the "Statement of Living Wage Requirements" (Attachment 7) with their Bid.
When a Contract (or Purchase Order) is awarded, the selected Bidder will be required to
complete the following forms included in the Bid packet:
* Employer Self-Evaluation for Port of Oakland Living Wage Form (Attachment 6-A)
* Certificate of Compliance-Living Wage (Attachment 6-B)
There are no other questions to Bid No. 26-27/13.
