Response Notes

Responsive to this request – and per clarification you are seeking the entire contract for CM, 9A, and 15A, but only the signature pages for the remainder of the requested contracts, and for the MBE related submissions, you are seeking all payment pages from the first requisition to current for contract package 9A, but only the most recent payment which shows everything carried forward for the others – as the records were developed for the specific use of these contracts, with copyright belonging to the company used by HCPSS for their development, issuance of this response does not convey permission to use/distribute these materials for other purposes. Materials can be made available via email/mail. Additionally, there are no summary of final certified MBE participation records as none of the above-referenced packages have been completed at this time.
