WHAT OTHERS ASKED
60 questions answered
▶
The RFQ states this will be for a minimum of 26 city employees but then mentions that the program may be opened to employees from other nearby Cities. Should we still assume the cap will still be 26 participants in total regardless of which city employees them? Or should we assume a higher cap—say 40 participants?
Scope/requirements
▶
What level of the organization shall we assume the participants are at? The RFQ states: "Entry-Level Worker to Lead, from Lead to Supervisor, and from Supervisor to Manager." Could the participants be at any of these 3 levels or shall we assume they will all be Leads aspiring to become Supervisors?
Scope/requirements
▶
Is there an incumbent vendor who provides these services presently?
Incumbent
▶
Will the City consider live virtual delivery or a hybrid delivery model for the Leadership and Supervisory Academy, or does the City expect all 40 hours of instruction to be delivered in person in Buena Park?
Scope/requirements
▶
If any or all Academy sessions are required to be delivered in person, should consultant travel and lodging expenses be included within the proposed project fee, or may reasonable travel expenses be identified and reimbursed separately?
Pricing
▶
The RFQ states that the selected vendor must be able to conduct business in California and maintain a City of Buena Park business license during the agreement term. May an out-of-state firm submit a proposal before completing California business registration and the City business license process, provided all applicable requirements are completed prior to contract execution or commencement of services?
