245079 Supplemental Information Letter No. 2.pdf

This is a Supplemental Information Letter No. 2 issued by the City of Salem Department of Finance Services Contracts & Procurement division regarding Bid No. 245079 for Custom Hearing Protection. The bid closing date is December 4, 2024 at 11:00 AM local time. The document provides clarification that the hearing protection model being sought should be capable of being used alone or with electronic accessories connected to radio communication, though the hearing protection itself does not need to be electronic - it just needs a port where electronic accessories can be plugged in. The vendor will be required to perform on-site fittings, with the City working to ensure efficient site visits.

The document serves as a question and answer addendum, addressing two specific inquiries from potential bidders. The first clarifies the technical specifications regarding the "vented" requirement mentioned in the bid manual, explaining that while radio connectivity is not currently required, they want to maintain that option for future needs. The second point confirms the vendor's responsibility for on-site fittings. The document is signed by Shawna Self, CPPB, Purchasing Manager, with a copy to Elys Lance, Contract Administrator.
