13-Addendum 1, QA.pdf

This is an Addendum 1 Q&A document for Richardson Independent School District (RISD) in Texas regarding bid 26-368 for Custodial Supplies and Related Items. The procurement seeks to award multiple vendors to provide custodial supplies and related items on an as-needed basis, replacing all previously awarded vendors and items from RISD bid 24-290, which expires June 9, 2026. The addendum addresses bidder inquiries regarding the submission and evaluation process for this competitive solicitation.

The document clarifies that RISD will provide the previous award tabulation, including winning vendors and individual item pricing, which is available both as an attachment and on the district's purchasing website. Regarding pricing submissions, the addendum encourages vendors to bid on the items presented in the original specification to ensure equal review and consideration for award. Vendors offering catalog discounts may submit that discount information under the Additional Information section of their bids, though compliance with the specified item list is preferred for competitive evaluation purposes.
