About this file
This is an Addendum 1 to an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the Salt Lake City School District (SLCSD) in Utah for the procurement of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules for upcoming solar projects. The district has pre-approved two solar module models for this procurement. The IFB may result in an award of a purchase order to a single vendor or, at the district's discretion, to multiple vendors if deemed in the SLCSD's best interests. All bidder questions must be submitted in writing through the Bonfire/U3P electronic platform, and only official answers provided through Bonfire/U3P or authorized addenda constitute the official position of the SLCSD. Bids must be submitted electronically through Bonfire/U3P before the specified closing date and time, with bidders required to review all attached documents and complete all required information prior to submission.
The solicitation requires bidders to acknowledge they have examined and familiarized themselves with all bid document requirements and governing conditions. Any discrepancies between documents obtained from sources outside Bonfire/U3P will be resolved in favor of documents contained within the official Bonfire/U3P system. The SLCSD emphasizes that bidders must allow sufficient time to complete online forms and upload required documents, as the system will cease accepting submissions at the precise closing time specified. Only properly issued addenda from the SLCSD are considered official modifications to the procurement effort.

SLCSD SOLAR MODULES IFB
ADDENDUM 1
The below information is to be incorporated into the scope and cost of the project. All subcontractors are responsible for reviewing the entire document.
GENERAL NOTES FOR ADDENDUM #1:
1. Module Count Update: Due to recent findings, the Auxiliary Services Rooftop is being removed from this scope and therefore modules will not need to be procured. Below is a table with updated counts highlighted. The number of spares has been adjusted to ensure that a whole number of pallets are purchased.
Site # of modules # of spares
1 Glendale MS 856 16
2 Highland Park ES 493 10
3 Auxiliary Services Rooftop 0 0
4 Auxiliary Services Carport 594 11
Totals 1943 37
Total Modules 1980
Total Pallets (36pc/pallet) 55.0
2. Basis of Design Update/Critical Note: SEG Solar has been implicated in the evolving Blue Wafer Cell issues, see below for more information. The potential impact on SEG's current and future module availability remains uncertain. SLCSD reserves the right to remove SEG Solar from the basis of design if SEG’s implications with the blue wafer issue remain unclear at the time of bid award. Due to the possibility of SEG Solar being removed from the basis of design, it is in the bidders’ best interest to provide pricing for both preapproved modules: SEG-590-BTA-BG (Yukon N Series) and JKM590N-72HL4-BDV (Eagle 72 G6B). If pricing is only provided for SEG Solar and SEG is subsequently removed from the basis of design, the bid may be deemed non-responsive.
The blue wafer issue involves importing partially completed solar cells (called "blue wafers") and declaring them as raw wafers instead of solar cells. This can be done to avoid import tariffs and duties that apply to finished solar cells. After minor processing in the U.S., the products may be marketed as "U.S.-made" and may qualify for federal tax incentives.
For SEG Solar, the overall impact is still uncertain since regulatory review and enforcement actions are ongoing. Increased enforcement by U.S. agencies could create supply chain challenges if blue wafer imports are restricted or reclassified.
