EXHIBIT 1 – QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
1. Q1: Section III.E.2 states:
Certificates or verification of training from manufacturer(s) for all employees who may
perform work under this Agreement.
NFPA 1851 – 2014 edition does not require manufacturer training for ISP employee who
service their equipment. As a result, manufacturers do not / cannot offer NFPA 1851
training to ISPs. Instead, NFPA 1851 – 2014 edition requires 3rd Party Verification of an
ISP’s ability to perform advanced cleaning, advanced inspection, and all repairs. To meet
the requirements of this section, is it permissible to submit NFPA 1851 – 2014 edition 3rd
Party Verification Certificate?
Yes, this is acceptable.
2. Is submitted pricing fixed for the length of the contract? If pricing is not fixed, please provide
details for yearly increase percentage allowance.
The submitted pricing will be fixed for the initial 1-year agreement term. Any
pricing increases may be negotiated annually at the time of contract renewal. The
City does not guarantee a set annual percentage increase and will not consider
any increase that exceeds the rates set forth in the Denver/Boulder CPI-U.

provided to satisfy the requirement of section III.H.3?
