REFERENCE: Request for Proposal: R-LD-23013
RFP Issue Date: May 24, 2023
Title: Automotive Parts and Accessories for Light, Medium, Heavy Duty
Vehicles and Related Products and Services
Sealed Bid Due Date: June 27, 2023 @ 2:00 pm EST
All Bidders are advised of the following changes and clarifications in the referenced solicitation:
Questions:
1. Question: My company sells suspension parts and services for light trucks, heavy trucks, trailers and
fire equipment. Would it be useful to the county for us to bid on this contract due to the specialized
services we provide?
Response: PWCS cannot advise a company whether or not to submit a proposal. The main purpose of this
contract will be for aftermarket auto parts. Please refer to the RFP Statement of Need, Section 6.
2. Question: Is there a list of locations that typically require deliveries for the auto parts bid?
Response: For PWCS: The majority of deliveries will be to our main location at Brentsville Shop, 12153
Hooe Road, Bristow, VA 20136, unless special arrangements are made. All additional sites are located
within Prince William County, Virginia. See the response to Question 5. For the list of additional sites.
3. Question: We see the estimated value of this is $100 Million. Is that what the aggregated auto parts sales
are through all OMNIA Partners suppliers today?
Response: No, as stated under Special Provisions, Section 1, the $100 Million is an estimated annual
volume of Automotive Parts and Accessories for Light, Medium, Heavy-Duty Vehicles and Related Products
and Services under the Master Agreement through OMNIA Partners.
4. Question: Are the terms "Supplier'and "Contractor" interchangeable throughout the bid does or is a
company only supplying products called a "Supplier" and those supplying services would be a "Contractor"?
Response: The terms "Supplier" and "Contractor" are interchangeable.
5. Question: How many locations does PWCS have where vehicles are maintained? We found one at 12153
Hoe Rd, but are there others? If so, what are those addresses?
Response: We have a total of six shop locations.
Shop 1 —Brentsville, 12153 Hooe Road, Bristow VA, 20136 (Main Location)
Shop 2 - Independent Hill, 14800 Joplin Road, Building 1, Manassas VA, 20112

PROCUREMENT AGREEMENT NUMBER: P-24-541

6. Question: In the Proposal Submission Requirements it is stated that the proposal shall be submitted as
ONE attachment and that the attachment should not exceed 25-34 MB. The electronic Catalog listing part
numbers, descriptions, etc. alone is over 56,000 KB. The location list is 472 KB. All the other Attachments
required for Tabs 1-9 are coming in around 1,800 KB. That equals about 67 MB before we add in other
supplementary does. Therefore, is it possible to break this up into perhaps 3 separate emails? For example,
Tabs 1-6 in one email as one attachment, Tab 7 in another email as an attachment and Tabs 8-9 in a
3rT'email as one attachment. This would ensure the emails go through.
Response: You may send more than one (1) email. In the subject of the email, you must insert the
solicitation number and title of the proposal and the email number, for example: "RFP R-LD-23013 —
Automotive Parts, Email 1 of 3". In addition, you may include a link for PWCS to access your catalog and
price lists if the file size is large.
7. Question: For a bidder that submits pricing on multiple categories but only is awarded a contract on one or a
few of the submitted categories, can OMNIA and the awarded bidder pursue other national opportunities on
ALL the submitted categories or only pursue national opportunities on the awarded categories?
Response: As noted in Special Provisions, Section 1, each awarded Offeror may propose their complete
product and service offering, or balance of line. PWCS reserves the right to accept or reject any or all
balance of line items offered. This is also covered in Exhibit A, Section 3.2 A, each offeror awarded an item
under this solicitation may offer their complete product and service offering/balance of line.
8. Question: We have the impression that OMNIA has not actually facilitated any contracts or purchases to
public entities successfully and that it is in a startup phase with developing business model. While I can
understand a reluctance to publish the exact figures of spend that has been directly created through OMNIA
cooperative arrangement with government entities, could you tell us the range of OMNIA directly created
spend over the last year using these or similar categories? 04100,000, $100,001-$1,000,000, $1,000,001-
$10,000,000, 10,000,001-$25,000,000, $25,000,0004100,000,000, $100,000,001041,000,000,000, Greater
than $1 billion. It would be helpful to know whether the OMNIA part of this RFP is worth pursuing given
OMNIA apparent nascent situation.
Response: OMNIA Partners, Public Sector is the nation's largest and most experienced cooperative
purchasing organization dedicated to public sector procurement. OMNIA has been operating for more than
20 years now and works with 33 lead agencies and has over 86k active parent agencies. Starting as Horizon
Resource Group in 2001 and expanding in 2006 was rebranded as National IPA. After several additional
acquisitions in 2017 OMNIA Partners brand was launched, acquiring U.S. Communities in 2018, and
acquiring Insight GPO in 2019. In 2021 OMNIA Partners acquired PAS Purchasing Solutions and Buyers
Access and in 2022 acquired National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA).
(�I� //www.ornniat.)artners.coni/about-u ) OMNIA Partners cannot provide exact figures and there is no
minimum volume guaranteed but the estimated annual volume by Participating Public Agencies is
$100M as indicated in Special Provisions, Section 1.
9. Question: Section 7.9.3.7.1 states that you need pricing based on a discount from a manufacturer's price list
or catalog. Do you only need that discount percentage for evaluation? Or do you also need section 7.9.3.7.2
which requests electronic copies of pricing catalogs? If it is the latter, our large supply chain would result in
providing prices for tens of thousands of part numbers across dozens of manufacturers in our submission.
The files would be large and time consuming for PW to review. We are happy to provide you with as much
information as you would like.
Response: Refer to the entire Section 7.9.3.7 and provide the requested information. Include both the
percentage discount and a price list. The price list may be submitted in excel, however, if it is a large file, you
may submit a link for PWCS to access your price list and catalog.

10. Question: When it comes to the email submission, section 7.9.3.7.2 requests electronic copies of pricing
catalogs. If needed, are we ok to attach our price lists as excel files to our emailed submission? This seems
to be contrasting to Section 7.1 that's states the proposal must be ONE attachment and it must be a PDF.
Please clarify.
Response: Please reference the response to Question 6, for further information. Multiple emails with
attachments may be sent. You may include as many attachments as needed. Yes, you may attach your price
lists as excel files, however, if it is a large file, you may submit a link for PWCS to access your price list and
catalog.
11. Question: Can you please provide a recording of the pre-bid meeting?
Response: Yes, please email Lesley Dean at i?earLM Papwcs_edu to request a copy of the audio file.
12. Question: Is participation on Omnia a requirement? Or may we opt out by stating so in the exceptions?
Response: Participation in the national portion of the contract is not a requirement. If you elect to opt out, do
not complete the Omnia Exhibits. All other Attachments shall be submitted with your proposal. If you opt out,
you will not be able to utilize the local awarded contract to sell nationally
'13. Question: If we are allowed to opt out of Ornnia, are we still required to submit the 3% admin fee?
Response: No
14. Question: Are we allowed to opt out of the National participation?
Response: Yes. See response to Question 12.
15. Question: Omnia is nationwide. Do you have a fleet card like Navistar where you pay for your accounts or is
it through centralized purchasing or does each individual location will have its own accounting department?
Response: Orders are not placed through Omnia. Purchases are made directly between the member
agency and the awarded supplier in accordance with the contract.
16. Question: If Omnia markets to someone in California, is the pricing still the same because the FOB pricing
to include freight. If we use our own delivery truck, there is no freight. If we have to ship it, that would be an
issue.
Response: Refer to Section 7.9.3.7. The resultant contract will primarily be for in-store pickup and local
deliveries; therefore, shipping will not generally factor in. Refer to section 7.9.3.7 and 7.9.3.7.1. Include in
your proposal to describe any proposed shipping costs and/or how you determine your shipping charges for
items requiring shipping.
17. Question: I believe to be an unfair provision in the RFP relating to the necessity of holding prices firm for the
first year of the contract and that any increases thereafter also be held firm for one year.
Response: Please refer to Section 10.15, Prices and Price Adjustments.
ALL OTHER SPECIFICATIONS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS REMAIN UNCHANGED.
A signed acknowledgment of this addendum must be received by the Purchasing Department either prior to the Bid
due date and hour specified or attached to the Bid. Signature on this addendum does not constitute the bidder's
signature on the original bid document. The original bid document shall also be signed.

Executive Summary
Advance Stores Company, Incorporated submits this proposal on behalf of itself and some of
its affiliates. Company-owned Advance Auto Parts and Carquest Auto Parts stores, and
Worldpac branches ("Company", "Advance" or "Supplier"). In addition, the proposal anticipates
participation by certain of our independently-owned Carquest Auto Parts stores.
Advance has read and understands the Prince William County Schools Request for Proposal
#R-LD-23013 and is willing and able to supply the products as required in the RFP documents.
With this offer Advance desires to be named the exclusive or at least primary supplier to
PWCS and OMNIA Partners.
Advance Stores Company, Incorporated is a Fortune 500 company (NYSE: AAP) and is a
leading automotive aftermarket parts provider that serves both professional installer and do-it-
yourself customers. Advance operates approximately 5,000 company-owned stores and
Worldpac branches in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The
Company also serves approximately 1,300 independently owned Carquest stores.
=ST AUIV PARTS WORLDPAC"410mp,
Advance employs approximately 70,000 team members throughout our stores, distribution
centers, support centers and corporate offices. Approximately 600 of those are outside sales
team members who are trained and responsible for selling and supporting the OMNIA Partners
Master Agreement.
In addition to auto parts Advance also offers hand tools and power tools for automotive repair
work and equipment for automotive service centers. Technician training is also available through
Carquest Technical Institute (CTI).
Additional information about Advance can be found at ,vww.AdvanceAuto Parts.com.
Please note that the exceptions suggested by our Legal team on Tab 8 generally have to do
with a) redlining clauses that are not applicable. For example, when a requirement is referring
to a service that Advance, as a retailer of products, does not provide. b) striking federal
clauses since Advance is not a federal contractor and/or c) making certain terms and
conditions mutual. We are open to discussion about any of the redlines.
We look forward to meeting the PWCS team on July 26 to discuss and clarify the offering in
this proposal.

Carquest(Advance Auto Parts)

Advance currently has no litigation that would impact our ability to sell to state and local
government agencies. Advance has never filed bankruptcy and we are not in the process of
any reorganization. Advance is in a solid position to serve Prince William County Schools
("PWCS") and participating members of the OMNIA Partners GPO.
You asked that we Include a copy of a standard service agreement for additional services,
however, Advance has found that every government agency has their own set of requirements
and generally prefer to start with their standard contract and work from there. For this reason,
we are not providing a standard service agreement at this time. If required, we can prepare a
standard service agreement for public sector customers for this bid, but most public agencies
will not use it.
For over 85 years Advance was headquartered in Roanoke, Virginia. However, after its
acquisition of General Parts International (Cat-quest Auto Parts), Advance's headquarters
moved to Raleigh, North Carolina. The Corporate address is:
4200 Six Forks Road, Raleigh, NC 27609
Advance's 2022 sales to K12 agencies were approximately $14 Million. Over the last 12
months PWCS has purchased about $45,000 of products from Advance.
