This is an addendum document issued by the State of Florida for an electric motors and capacitors procurement (RFQ 18-066-JM). The addendum, dated July 16, 2018, addresses clarifications and modifications to the original solicitation regarding pricing for electric motors and capacitors offered on a discount off price list basis. The document provides responses to bidder inquiries and establishes requirements for vendors seeking to supply these products to the state. The solicitation seeks discounts applied to manufacturers' published price lists rather than firm fixed pricing, allowing for flexibility in product offerings. Bidders were required to submit their responses by the deadline specified in the original RFQ, with award anticipated following evaluation of all submissions. The contract would establish a term for supply of electric motors and capacitors to meet state agency requirements.

The pricing structure emphasizes discounts off established price lists, requiring vendors to specify their discount percentages or multipliers for various product categories. The addendum clarifies pricing methodology and ensures consistent evaluation across all bidders submitting proposals. This procurement does not appear to contain specific set-asides or minority business enterprise requirements noted in this addendum. The state anticipated establishing a blanket purchase agreement or similar vehicle to provide ongoing access to electric motors and capacitors at negotiated discount rates, thereby reducing procurement costs across multiple agencies and potentially creating a master contract for statewide distribution of these electrical components.
