About this file
This is Amendment #1 to a Request for Bid (RFB) issued by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Purchasing Services for the purchase of exterior signage for the UW-Madison Campus and Affiliated Buildings under Contract No. 20-5030. The amendment was issued on March 6, 2020, with a bid due date of March 12, 2020. The document primarily addresses specification clarifications requested by potential bidders, specifically regarding the mandated dimensions of extruded aluminum posts required for the signage project. The amendment confirms that UW-Madison specifications require 4.5-inch extruded square aluminum posts and explicitly reject alternative 4-inch extrusions, despite bidders' concerns about sourcing availability. Bid prices and terms are firm for sixty days from the bid opening date.
The amendment includes standard certification requirements that bidders must acknowledge, including non-collusion certifications, conflict of interest disclosures, and certification that neither the bidder nor its principals are debarred from federal participation. Questions regarding the bid must be directed to Doreen Forslund, Procurement Specialist, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Purchasing Services. The document does not specify total project cost, funding sources, or award timelines in the amendment itself, as it functions solely as a clarification document to the original RFB.

Answers to Questions received from Bidders
Q. 1 Upon review of the design specifications and having had discussions with several manufacturers, we are not able to find anyone who can provide us with a 4 1/2" post extrusion. We are able to get a 4” extrusion from any number of manufacturers. It would appear that the specifications may be limited to a private and custom produced extrusion that we don’t have access to. Will a 4” extrusion be acceptable?
A1: No, a 4” extrusion will not be accepted. UW specifications mandate a 4.5” extruded post.
Q. 2 This question concerns the 4.5” extruded square aluminum posts. We are unable to manufacture or purchase these posts as described in the RFB. We would only be able to bid the project with 4” aluminum posts. Is it acceptable?
A2: See A1 above.
