Section 1.1 Requirements, and Section 2.0 Specifications both say that a copy of the vendor's current printed catalog along with access to online equivalent must accompany the bid. We provide electronic catalogs in addition to our database of searchable titles, and do not have a single print catalog of spoken audio titles. Is a print catalog a requirement, or would trial access to our online database including e-catalogs be sufficient? If a print catalog is required, we could provide a print copy of our most recent monthly catalog of forthcoming popular titles, which includes a section for forthcoming spoken audio titles. Since the bid is to be submitted electronically, do we mail the catalog separately to the Purchasing Department, and does it have to be received by the October 12, 2017 bid opening?

I have sent your questions to the requesting department for clarification. Please be advised that this bid can be mailed in, hand delivered, or submitted on this site. All necessary documentation is to be submitted at the time of bid submission, no later than the due date and time.
