About this file

This is an Addendum #1 Q&A document for solicitation 25PSX0331, issued by the State of Connecticut Department of Administrative Services (DAS) in collaboration with the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP). The solicitation seeks bids for the purchase and delivery of a rubber-track mounted direct-push drill rig, equivalent to the Geoprobe 6011DT, for environmental site investigation and sampling activities. The equipment must meet all applicable ISO, EN, OSHA, EPA, and ASTM standards and comply with Connecticut emissions requirements. No specific response dates, due dates, site visits, bidders' meetings, or contract term details are provided in this addendum document.

The addendum addresses four frequently asked questions from potential bidders regarding submission procedures and system navigation. Bidders are directed to complete the questionnaire before accessing the document upload function and response template download options. The State emphasizes that the questionnaire is a mandatory component of bid submission in accordance with Connecticut State Purchasing Procedures Section 4a-52-5, with no exceptions for established vendors regardless of prior business relationships. The solicitation does not contain line items; instead, bidders must download Exhibit B Price Schedule in Excel format, complete it with their bid response, and re-upload it as an attachment. Support resources including the CT Source supplier registration portal user guide and the supplier solicitation response and addenda guide are provided to assist bidders with the submission process.

Solicitation #: 25PSX0331 Rubber Track Mounted Direct Push Drill Rig

Addendum #1

QA

Question 1:

It’s our first time using your system and looking for a little help on how/where to upload that bid if possible.

Question 2:

Does the tab to attach documents only become available after the questionnaire is completed?

Does the same go for downloading the response template? This is what my Review Response tab looks like now, below.

Answer 2:

Correct, you will have to download the response template and respond to the questionnaire in order to proceed in uploading your documents.

Question 3:

We have not needed to complete a questionnaire in the past or provide references, etc. We have been working with the State of Connecticut since the 90’s so thought I would inquire to see if there is some way we can expedite that portion.

Answer 3:

In accordance with Department of Administrative Services State Purchasing Procedures Sec. 4a-52- 5 Submission of Bids: Bids must be submitted on and in accordance with forms supplied by the Commissioner. The questionnaire is part of the bid invitation.

Question 4:

After I completed steps 1-17 (overview-questionnaire) , I noticed my page my Review Response page did not have the buttons to download response template or import response.

Is there another step we are missing?

Answer 4:

This solicitation has no line items; it has an Exhibit B Price Schedule (excel) that needs to be downloaded in order to enter your bid response and re-uploaded as an attachment.
