This addendum from Grambling State University's Purchasing Department clarifies bid requirements and extends the deadline for Solicitation No. 50018-270005 for HVAC Labor Services. The solicitation seeks qualified contractors to provide as-needed and emergency HVAC labor services, including troubleshooting, diagnosis, repair, and replacement of HVAC equipment components across all campus facilities. A mandatory pre-bid site visit was held on September 30, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. The original bid opening date of October 15, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time has been revised to October 19, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time via Zoom due to additional questions from potential bidders. Contractors must respond to routine as-needed service calls within 24-48 hours and emergency calls within 60-90 minutes. The contract term is twelve months from award with no renewal options specified. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged.

Addendum No. 2 clarifies that a bid bond is not required for this solicitation, as pricing is based on hourly labor rates rather than a total contract amount. Contractors must submit hourly rates for regular hours, overtime, weekend, and holiday work, plus trip and travel charges on an F.O.B. Grambling State University Destination basis. Contractors must hold a valid Louisiana contractor's license and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate), automobile liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), and workers compensation insurance naming Grambling State University as an additional insured. All prices must remain firm until completion of services, and net 30 payment terms apply. Grambling State University is tax-exempt and will not pay taxes on invoices.
