Do we provide the redacted copy of RFP on the same USB drive as the original response or a separate one? Does the redacted version need to be electronic only or also mailed as a hard copy? Answers A pricing document is attached. Please use this document for each benefit being quoted. For reference, the pricing spreadsheet and Executive Summary can be attached to the RFP document. You can provide the redacted copy on the same USB. To avoid any confusion, it is recommended that it be on a separate USB clearly marked on the drive it is redacted. One USB of the redacted RFP Where do we provide pricing for dental and supplemental products? Is there a template to use or do we just provide attachments? At the top of section 3 it indicates "Do not provide responses to items in this section." but later it lists 3.5 "Summary & Experience" and 3.6 "References" that seem to indicate that we would need to submit those two items with our RFP package. Can you confirm if they should be submitted in the packet? How many hard copies need to be mailed? A pricing template is attached to be used for each benefit the vendor is quoting. The quoted pricing does not go into Section 3 but will be in the Appendix – it is attached to this question and answer document. Section 3.5 and 3.6 should be completed. One USB and One Hard Copy minimum. Question 6 4.7 Question 7 Appendix- Page 25 Question 8 Disability Portion of the RFP We sell supplemental services through another company. Do we need to provide separate forms (equal opportunity, contract and grant disclosure, etc.) for that company or just our TPA? TPA is sufficient for the supplemental benefits This section is titled Family Forming Benefits, but it looked like only section "Services offered" is for Family Forming Benefits and the rest are for the Medical TPA. Can you confirm? Pg. 25-29 is questions specific for those quoting family forming services. You can provide answers to those questions in your response if you’d like, but this is not required if you aren’t quoting that benefit.
