PREFERENCES - A NOTICE TO VENDORS (SEP. 2009): On June 16, 2009, the South Carolina General Assembly rewrote the law governing
preferences available to in-state vendors, vendors using in-state subcontractors, and vendors selling in-state or US end products. This law appears
in Section 11-35-1524 of the South Carolina Code of Laws. A summary of the new preferences is available at www.procurement.sc.gov/preferences
. ALL THE PREFERENCES MUST BE CLAIMED AND ARE APPLIED BY LINE ITEM, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER AWARD IS
MADE BY ITEM OR LOT. VENDORS ARE CAUTIONED TO CAREFULLY REVIEW THE STATUTE BEFORE CLAIMING ANY
PREFERENCES. THE REQUIREMENTS TO QUALIFY HAVE CHANGED. IF YOU REQUEST A PREFERENCE, YOU ARE
CERTIFYING THAT YOUR OFFER QUALIFIES FOR THE PREFERENCE YOU'VE CLAIMED. IMPROPERLY REQUESTING A
PREFERENCE CAN HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. [11-35-1524(E)(4)&(6)]
PREFERENCES DO NOT APPLY
PREFERENCES - ADDRESS AND PHONE OF IN-STATE OFFICE: Please provide the address and phone number for your in-state office
in the space provided below. An in-state office is necessary to claim either the Resident Vendor Preference (11-35-1524(C)(1)(i)&(ii)) or the
Resident Contractor Preference (11-35-1524(C)(1)(iii)). Accordingly, you must provide this information to qualify for the preference. An in-state
office is not required, but can be beneficial, if you are claiming the Resident Subcontractor Preference (11-35-1524(D)).

CLARIFICATIONS / RESPONSES TO BIDDER QUESTIONS:
QUESTION 1: Are you having a site visit?
District’s Response 1: Bidders are strongly encouraged to visit the site(s) prior to bidding to inspect. All visitors are required
to check in at the front office of the school upon arrival.
QUESTION 2: Do you have to bid on all jobs or just the ones we want to do?
District’s Response 2: Vendors awarded this contract are not required to provide quotes for every project.
QUESTION 3: How many schools/buildings are there?
District’s Response 3: The District currently operates a total of 13 elementary schools, 2 intermediate schools, 3 middle
schools, 4 high schools, 1 Center for Advanced Technical Studies and 1 alternative school. Additional basic information about
the District is posted on the District’s website: www.lexrich5.org.
QUESTION 4: Task Orders & Pricing Application - Will the District issue individual task orders using the awarded pricing
schedule, or will vendors be expected to submit a project-specific quote for each site following a site visit?
District’s Response 4: This is a fixed-price, multiple award contract. The District will not issue automatic task orders solely

the pricing established in the awarded bid schedule.

QUESTION 6: Measurements & Facility Data - Will the District provide estimated square footage, surface quantities, or facility
drawings for planning purposes, or should bidders assume all measurements will be contractor-provided

site/project

and is there any historical usage or estimated annual volume available for similar services
District’s Response 8: Award will be made to all responsive and responsible Offerors. Award may be made to more than one
Offeror. This is a new contract. There is no historical usage data available for these services. As such, the District is unable to
provide estimated annual volumes or projected volume.
