opportunity for present qualified suppliers to become qualified
in vehicle and labour categories for services for which they are
not already qualified. The present qualified suppliers or any
other interested supplier can add cities where they can provide
the services.

Where the present qualified suppliers of the Supply Arrangement
wish to keep the same ceiling per diem rates, or if they wish to
modify their ceiling per diem rates, they MUST confirm, in
writing, by bid closing, that they wish to remain a qualified
supplier of the Supply Arrangement and that their current rates
will apply in the upcoming year or, their modified ceiling per
diem rates will apply. All to be submitted with their written
confirmation. 

If written confirmation is not received, by bid closing, the
qualified supplier of the Supply Arrangement will be immediately
removed from the Supply Arrangement List.

only those offices.  Deliveries will be within city limits
and/or contiguous areas of the city; some exceptions may apply.
