Addendum #1 to Biowork Print Services IFB 26-003
This addendum clarifies specifications for Gaston College's printing, assembly, fulfillment, and distribution services procurement for BioWork Training Manuals. The college confirmed that vendors are only required to deliver to Gaston College, with same-day local pickup available as an option. The three-business-day delivery window begins upon receipt of book order confirmation, and shipping methods are subject to negotiation provided the delivery timeframe is met. For orders under 14 boxes, vendors may use any reliable delivery method, including dedicated courier services. The college stated that utilizing a lower UPS rate through a vendor's existing UPS World Ship fulfillment service is acceptable, and the college's freight account preference applies to orders of 15 or more boxes, though vendors may propose alternative arrangements.
Regarding additional information requests, Gaston College declined to provide public bid tabulation and vendor pricing from the canceled RFP #25-0221 prior to contract award, citing North Carolina Department of Purchasing and Contracts confidentiality regulations under 01 NCAC 05B .0103. All clarifications in this addendum are binding modifications to the original IFB specifications and represent the college's preferred operational procedures for order fulfillment and delivery management.
