About this file
This document is an Addendum to Invitation to Bid (ITB) FDC ITB-22-033 issued by the Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) for Laundry Equipment including Washers-Extractors and Dryers. The ITB seeks Responsive Bids from Responsible Vendors to provide new washers-extractors and dryers, statewide, including delivery, set-up, and training to meet the needs of the FDC. Bids are due by August 1, 2022 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The contract term is three years with potential renewal options.
The Addendum provides the FDC's written responses to vendor questions regarding pricing. The FDC expects the successful vendor to hold pricing firm for the initial three-year contract term and any renewal term, absent an equitable price adjustment as indicated in the standard state terms and conditions. Vendors expressed concerns about unpredictable price increases due to ongoing inflation, but the FDC reiterated that pricing must remain fixed for the duration of the contract.

Question Number
Question Answer
a. I was reading the invitation to bid and notice language in there that says this would be a 3 year contract. So the pricing I am going to be providing you I would need to honor for 3 years?
b. I ask because in your laundry equipment industry we have had several price increases with this rising inflation on-going issue. There is no way for us to predict what if any price increases we will see 2 years from now. So I'm sure all the other vendors are thinking the same thing as me. How is that to be handled?
c. Will there be some sort of adjustment allowance due to price increases? Currently, when we quote customers we tell them the quote is only good for X period of time, usually a month or two as we have had to deal with multiple price increases from manufacturers.
Will the pricing need to be honored for 3 years?
a. Yes. The Department expects the successful Vendor to hold pricing firm for the initial term of the Contract and any renewal term in the absence of an equitable price adjustment as indicated in PUR 1000.
b. Please refer to the Answer to Question Number 1a.
c. Please refer to the Answer to Question Number 1a.
