3-Addendum 1- IFS (1).doc

This is Addendum No. 1 to a solicitation issued by the Office of Procurement Services for the City of Dallas, Texas, related to BID NO. BDZ23-00023128 titled "Underwriting and Loan Services" with a bid due date of November 10, 2023, at 1:00 PM CST. The addendum provides clarification on post specifications in response to a bidder question about sizing compatibility with anchors, specifying quantities of 1,000 square 1-3/4" x 12' posts, 800 square 2-1/4" x 1.5' posts, and 800 square 2" x 30" posts.

The addendum directs bidders to submit any questions through the Solicitation Portal at www.dallascityhall.bonfirehub.com under the Messages Tab. There appears to be a discrepancy between the addendum's referenced bid title "Underwriting and Loan Services" and the related contract opportunity for "Purchase of Cardboard backers," which specifies FOB delivery to 5310 Red Bird Center Dallas TX 75237, requires all products to be new and unopened in original packaging, and mandates online bidding through the Dallas city portal with no alternatives or substitutes accepted.
