- THIS ANNOUNCEMENT HAS ALSO BEEN ATTACHED AS AN AMENDMENT TO THE SOLICITATION QUESTION(s) 1. Question: When is the desired start date to begin operations of the facilities as a DOH approved potable water system? The delivery date specified on page 3 of the solicitation specifies a Start Date to End Date period of 6/15/10 to 9/30/10, please clarify what is expected to be delivered in this time frame.
