ADDENDUM 1: Responses to Questions

March 5, 2026

Question 1: The RFP currently offers four selections: Partnership, Corporation, Limited Liability

Company (LLC), and Individual Doing Business As. Our organization is a nonprofit. Is there an

accommodation for nonprofit entities, or would we simply select 'Corporation' to reflect our

status?

Answer: If your organization type is not reflected in Attachment A: Respondent

Information Form, entities can type or write in the appropriate organization type.

Question 2: Could you help us understand the pros and cons of submitting separate proposals

for each service category versus a single, bundled proposal covering multiple categories?

Answer: Dependent on the number and quality of Responses received, NCPA and the

evaluation committee will determine the number of agreements needed and may

prioritize entering into Agreements with Respondents that offer multiple services. NCPA

may enter into Agreements with multiple Respondents to ensure coverage of all needed

services. Respondents should include any services that they are interested in providing

and qualified to provide.

Question 3: The solicitation document references Exhibit C – Certification as to California

Energy Commission (p. B-8). Is this applicable as there is no Exhibit C included in the solicitation

materials?

Answer: The reference to “Exhibit C – Certification as to California Energy Commission”

within the template agreement is inadvertent, and Exhibit C will not be required for the

services covered by the RFP.

Question 4: The Types of education and outreach included on page 3 of the solicitation includes

"Advisory services for customers." Would services that support the deployment of zero-

emission vehicles/infrastructure and/or planning activities to support the transition to a zero-

emission fleet be considered advisory services?

Answer: “Advisory services for customers” encompasses responding to general

customer inquiries pertaining to any of the topics listed in Section 2. Scope of Services,

which includes zero-emission vehicles and infrastructure. Advisory services, as

contemplated by the RFP, do not include assistance with the design or implementation

of a specific project.
