ADDENDUM TO BID NO. 2401 GARDEN GROVE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTIRCT Purchasing Department 10331 Stanford Ave, 4th Floor Garden Grove, CA 92840 (714) 663-6340 Date: March 14, 2025 Project: Bid No. 2401 – Expanded Learning Programs From: Lorraine McDaniel, Purchasing Addendum Number: 1 You are hereby notified of the following changes, additions or deletions to the Documents for the above titled Project. Take careful note of the addendum so that proper allowance may be made. Questions per verbatim: Q. Page 19 item 7: Attendance goals. The district indicates attendance goals of 90%, can you explain how that is defined? Is that 90 at each site or an average of 90 across all sites? How is the 90% calculated? A. The 90% attendance goal is based on the average daily attendance at each site. Q. Page 20 item 14: The district is asking for the cost and initial money to start the program. Would that be a calculation along the lines of our per day cost per student for a site, or is there another cost we need to include? A. It would be the cost per day/per student/per hour. Q. The RFP states that "privately-held companies wishing to maintain confidential financial information must provide information detailing the company’s long-term stability" and requires a Dunn & Bradstreet (D&B) report as part of the proposal response. Can you confirm whether a D&B report may be submitted in lieu of audited financial statements? Additionally, would a business credit report from another reputable bureau, such as an Experian Business Credit Report, be considered an acceptable alternative to the D&B report? A. Substitutions to the requested documents may affect the accuracy of the proposal response. Q. The RFP requests a statement of financial stability and the ability to maintain financial capacity, along with audited reviewed financial statements for the past two fiscal years. However, it also states: "Please do not include your company’s financial statements with your bid proposal." Could you clarify whether this means that we should submit only a statement confirming our financial stability and ability to provide audited financial statements upon request rather than including the audited financials in the proposal itself? Will audited statements be required later if selected? A. The request is to submit a signed audited reviewed financial statement for the past two (2) full fiscal years, which is different than submitting the company’s financial statements.
