This document is an Addendum (No. I) issued by the School District of Manatee County Purchasing Department for a Maintenance, Repair, and Operating Supplies - LOCAL contract (SDMC No. 25-0016-KD). The addendum clarifies the pricing submission requirements for the solicitation, which seeks to establish multiple suppliers for maintenance, repair, and operating (MRO) supplies from local vendors in Manatee and Sarasota Counties. The district intends to award the contract to multiple suppliers who can provide in-store pickups and local delivery of MRO supplies, with the potential for greater utilization of bidders offering the most competitive pricing.

The pricing methodology for this contract requires vendors to submit prices as either a mark-up from cost or a firm percentage discount from current preprinted catalog prices, manufacturer's price lists, dealer's published price lists, or documented inventory with verifiable price structures. While catalog prices may fluctuate throughout the year, the agreed-upon mark-up or percentage discount must remain constant for the entire contract period. The district emphasizes that no specific purchase volume is guaranteed, and the decision to order from specific contractors will be at the discretion of district personnel, with a notable provision that during declared disaster situations, any marked-up items must be billed at actual cost without additional markup.
