- The purpose of this amendment is to answer all questions submitted prior to the closing date of this solicitation. 1.)

If business entity establishment is less than two (2) years, provide related experience of key personnel. Past Performance shall be valued as acceptable, unacceptable, or neutral. 2.) May we use our past experience with much larger contracts that included recycling and document destruction services? Yes, if the experience is pertinent to this requirement. 3.) Do you have a sample of a past formatted quote on what the submitted quote should look like? If so, can you send a copy? There is no mandatory format for the RFQ. It should contain all information requested in the solicitation. 4.) Do we enter "New Business? for your question or areas to respond to past experience if we have no past experience?
