  Addendum No. 2

Q4. We are working to submit the documents for the above RFQ but have one question about the Price Redetermination Consideration listed on the Pricing Sheet. My corporate office thinks this is something internal that the county will fill out since it’s asking for information that we are not privy to, e,g, Cost of Fuel, Cost of Wages, Cost of Materials. Is this correct?

R4. Price redetermination is based on bls.gov and pertains to increases on fuels, wages, and materials.  It’s asking what percentage of each item (fuel, wages, materials) is the basis of your entity expenditure.  Since this solicitation is based on rental/lease rates, this would not apply. Please leave this area blank.
