This is Amendment #2 to a Request for Bid issued by the University of Wisconsin-River Falls Purchasing Services for the purchase of compact refrigerator/freezer/microwave oven combination appliances (MicroFridges) for residence halls and apartments. The original bid was issued on March 16, 2020, with an initial due date that was extended to April 9, 2020, at 2:00 PM CDT. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, all bid openings through April 24, 2020 were conducted without public attendance, with results distributed via email to responding bidders. The contract term is five (5) years from the date of award. Bidders were required to submit two hard copies of completed bids or email submissions to bids@uwrf.edu, with required documentation including the signed Request for Bid Form, Bidder Response Sheet, specifications and descriptive brochures, Itemized Bid List, Vendor Information Sheet, and Client Reference List. Bid prices and terms were to remain firm for sixty (60) days from the date of bid opening unless otherwise specified.

Bidders were required to provide pricing on an F.O.B. Destination and/or F.O.B. Destination and Installed and/or On-Site Service basis. The University required firm pricing for the entire contract term with specified delivery and invoicing requirements, insurance coverage, and warranty provisions. Bidders were required to demonstrate relevant experience through client references and certify they were not debarred from federal participation. No specific funding source or budget amount was identified in the amendment. The contract included provisions for item returns, timeliness of delivery requirements, activity reporting, and termination clauses, with the University reserving the right to make award determinations based on best value and fair price analysis.
