This amendment (75H71025Q00274/0001) modifies a solicitation, addressing questions regarding installation schedules and TERO fee applicability. The amendment clarifies that while a comprehensive manufacturing, delivery, and installation schedule was initially requested, only the Kayenta Health Center location requires installation services. All other locations are responsible for installing the delivered, pre-assembled, and plug-and-play ready products. Additionally, the TERO fee, a tribal employment rights ordinance tax, will only apply to the service/installation at the Kayenta Health Center, as no other onsite services are expected under the contract. The amendment reiterates that offers must acknowledge receipt by the specified hour and date to prevent rejection.
