The fifth school is Guam High School, which covers both the McCool Schools zone in the south and the Andersen Schools zone in the north (see attached map). As part of this RFI, please respond to the following questions: 1. Would you be more likely to make an offer if the requirement was split into three smaller geographical zones instead of just one large zone covering the entire island?� Each zone would be offered independently from one another, with prospective offerors submitting proposals for a single, a combination, or all of the zones. 2. For Guam High School which has students from both zones/entire island, would you be more likely to make an offer if that school�s requirement was split between the north and south zones (minimizing geographical distances)? 3.
