This document is Addendum No. 1 to Bid No. 26-0042-3 issued by the Chatham County Purchasing & Contracting Department in Georgia for the purchase of a new Ford Transit Passenger Van. The addendum, dated April 2, 2026, modifies the original bid specification to require a Ford Transit Passenger Van 350 XL instead of the initially specified model. The bid opening remains scheduled for 2:00 P.M. on April 14, 2026. Bidders are responsible for acknowledging receipt of this addendum and incorporating the specified changes into their submissions. This is a one-time purchase with no renewal options, and only authorized Ford vehicle dealerships are eligible to submit bids.

The addendum serves as a critical clarification document that updates the technical specifications for the requested vehicle. Bidders must demonstrate compliance with all revised specifications through manufacturer documentation and cut sheets. The successful bid will be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder meeting all specifications and contract requirements, with bid prices remaining firm for sixty days from the bid opening date. Bidders must maintain required insurance coverage, possess a current Chatham County Tax Certificate, be drug-free workplace certified, and comply with all notarized certifications and affidavits. Chatham County has established a 30% combined Minority/Woman Business Enterprise participation goal for this procurement.
