Could you please provide more details about which model number(s) you would like quoted? There are multiple models that would be appropriate for school use. Please visit the manufacturers website if unsure of the models available. https://www.cscproducts.com/products.html Shen also makes good quality cellos as well. Please provide preferred model number(s) for those, too, if you would like Shen instruments quoted, specifically. A great alternative/comparable to Shen instruments is Eastman. The current supply chain for all manufacturers of basses is somewhat bottlenecked at the moment, therefore, depending on your requested delivery schedule, it may be necessary to order from multiple manufacturers in order to fulfill the requested quantities. FYI - Triton Music Services is a qualified, local dealer of both Shen and Eastman instruments. We are located in Manatee County. Thank you, Jamie Ruetz Triton Music Services 941-677-8150 6/13/2023 11:00:20 AM Please see the REVISED excel price sheet. 6/14/2023 11:42:11 AM What size cello is needed for line item #6? 6/14/2023 10:27:48 AM Please see the REVISED excel price sheet. 6/14/2023 11:42:38 AM Will this bid nullify any of the cellos and bases on bid #22006-EST-EJ, or are these separate altogether? Is there a reason a separate bid is being released with some of the same types of items? 6/14/2023 2:20:21 PM This is a separate bid and will not nullify awarded items on 22006-EST-EJ. The district Music Department decided to add these items and it was determined by Procurement that a new bid would be completed. 6/14/2023 2:45:28 PM Could you elaborate on proof for experience, would our Florida business license suffice for 3.3 experience and licenses? 6/16/2023 4:00:38 PM Yes, you can submit your Florida Business license with the bid documents. 6/19/2023 7:25:17 AM Contract Dates Total: 0 Awarded CompanyTerm TypeContract NumberApproval DateStart DateEnd DateSubstantial Completion DateStatusAmountComment Pre-Award Documents Total: 0 CategoryNameFile Type Contract Documents Total: 0 CompanyAwardee TypeCategoryNameFile Type Bidders Total: 4 CompanyEmailPhoneFaxBoothe Music LLCmax@boothemusic.com (801) 400-4744 Guitar Centerkcrayton@gcpro.com (781) 400-0881 Guitar Center Stores, Inc.schools@musicarts.com (301) 620-4040 Violin Shop Tampa Inc.ethan@violinshoptampa.com (813) 288-8245 Awardees Total: 0 CompanyEmailPhoneFax Insurance Total: 0 CompanyTypeStart DateEnd Date Bond Total: 0 CompanyTypeStart DateEnd Date
