ADDENDUM NO. 2 Issue Date: March 6, 2026 Request for Proposals Inmate Healthcare Services RFP 26-1009 To: All Potential Respondents The Request for Proposals (RFP) is modified as set forth in this Addendum No. 2. The original RFP documents and any previously issued addenda remain in full force and effect, except as modified by this Addendum, which is hereby made part of the RFP. Respondents shall take this Addendum into consideration when preparing and submitting its proposal response. Catawba County is issuing this Addendum to make RFP clarifications. Clarifications: 1. QUESTION: Section 2.2.18 requires Umbrella Liability Insurance in the amount of $5,000,000 per occurrence. Given the very limited number of insurance carriers willing to write correctional medical malpractice coverage, and the even fewer carriers willing to provide umbrella coverage for this type of risk, we have been unable to locate a carrier willing to offer the required $5,000,000 umbrella limit. In addition, umbrella coverage in the correctional healthcare market carries extremely high premium costs due to the constrained market. ANSWER: At this time, the County is not willing to consider any adjustments to the minimum insurance limits. 2. QUESTION: Would the County reconsider the requirement for the umbrella policy? If the concern is ensuring sufficient coverage, an alternative could be increasing the Professional Liability limits to $2,000,000 per occurrence / $5,000,000 aggregate. ANSWER: At this time, the County is not willing to consider any adjustments to the minimum insurance limits. 3. QUESTION: The RFP references a mandatory pre-proposal video conference. Will there also be an opportunity for proposers to visit the Catawba County Detention Facility in person prior to the proposal due date? If so, could the County please provide details regarding scheduling and any required coordination? ANSWER: Site visits are not being offered at this time. 1 4. QUESTION: Section G(6)(m) states that the Contractor is responsible for determining whether an inmate had or has insurance and, if so, to follow through with collection or have the hospital bill the insurance company. Our question is on the, “and, if so, to follow through with collection or have the hospital bill the insurance company, “part of that statement.
