• Where the State is unsure as to whether a specific concept complies with the RFP (e.g. due to the level of detail provided or to the limited time that the State has to review the designs), the State may direct Respondents' attention to the specific requirements of the RFP.
• The State should express a collective view and avoid personal opinions. In responding to questions the State project team shall ensure consistency of responses.
• The State may decline to discuss any or all issues raised by Respondents.
