About this file

This document is Addendum No. 1 for Invitation to Bid (ITB) #7659 issued by Northwestern State University's Business Affairs office for horticulture and bed maintenance services at the main campus in Natchitoches, Louisiana. The addendum confirms a mandatory pre-bid conference was held on Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025, at 10:00 AM in the NSU Facility Service Conference Room, with bid openings scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 1st, 2025. The key update in this addendum is the clarification that a bid bond is required for this solicitation, responding to a vendor's inquiry about bond requirements.

The addendum also includes detailed bonding requirements, specifying that if awarded the contract, the successful bidder must execute a Performance Bond with Power of Attorney within ten days of notice from NSU. The bond must be from a surety company with an A.M. Best's Key Rating Guide rating and be equal to 100% of the contract amount. The document emphasizes that failure to acknowledge the addendum may result in the non-consideration of the bid submission, and provides space for bidders to acknowledge receipt and any potential revisions to their original bid proposal.
