This is an Addendum 1 (Question and Answers document) issued by Catawba Valley Community College for Solicitation 85-CVCC20273 regarding the procurement of one Type III ambulance for educational use in the college's Emergency Medical Services and Emergency Medical Science programs. The solicitation requires a 2026 or 2027 Ford E-350 or E-450 cutaway chassis configured as a Type III module, fully assembled and ready for deployment, meeting KKK-A-1822-F CN10 and CASS 4.0 safety certification standards along with North Carolina Office of Emergency Medical Services requirements. Sealed bids are due October 6, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET, with contract award anticipated by October 12, 2026.

The addendum addresses eleven vendor inquiries regarding functional equivalents for specified components, including wheel covers, valve extenders, module dimensions, electrical systems, compartment materials, seating configurations, and safety technology features. The State confirmed that functional equivalents will be accepted for all requested substitutions, provided vendors include information confirming that alternative items will meet or exceed the standards of the specified items. Failure to provide such documentation may result in bid rejection. Vendors must return the executed addendum prior to the bid opening, confirming whether a prior response was submitted with or without changes, or whether the submission will address changes in an initial response. The bid price constitutes the total cost to the State, including all shipping, delivery, handling, and administrative fees.
