It should be either 1 ply, 1000 sheets/roll OR 2 ply, 500 sheets/roll. There is no item that is 2 ply, 1000 sheets. Please clarify. 1/17/2023 1:05:23 PM 2 ply, 500 sheets/roll. 1/19/2023 2:05:23 PM I’m working on the pricing page for this bid, but some of the “brand or equal” columns are locked and it won’t allow me to type in the requested information. For example, item 1 was fine; I was able to put in all of the requested brand information. Item 3 is protected and an error message pops up.

Can you clarify which requirements are NOT applicable to this RFP so we know how we should respond to that section? 1/18/2023 1:45:54 PM In Section 4 of this, ITB is boilerplate verbiage regarding if purchase services are required. 1/20/2023 9:53:23 AM ITEM NO. 7 - Is this a WHITE torkmatic paper towel? 1/19/2023 9:18:20 AM Brown.
