About this file
This document is Addendum No. 1 to an Invitation to Bid (ITB) issued by the School Board of Seminole County Florida's Purchasing and Distribution Services Department for Art Supplies, solicitation number 24250087B-VG. The bid is scheduled to open on April 16, 2025, at 1:00 P.M. EST, with solicitations received after the due date and time not being accepted. The addendum removes the requirement for vendors to submit references and addresses three vendor questions regarding minimum order for free shipping, past business history, and potential international tariff surcharges.
The addendum clarifies that a $199 minimum order per delivery for free shipping will not disqualify a bid response, and vendors should note this detail on their Price Schedule. Regarding potential tariff surcharges, the School Board will consider a surcharge to cover tariffs, but documentation must be provided to justify the increase, and tariff surcharges will be based on the purchase order date. Prices submitted in response to the solicitation are expected to be held for the full contract term. Vendors are required to complete and return the acknowledgment section of the addendum, either with their initial submittal or by adding it to the submission in Vendorlink.

B. REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Question 1:
If we have a $199 minimum order per delivery to qualify for free shipping, should we submit a bid with our terms, or will this be an automatic disqualification from a possible award?
Answer 1: Please make a note detailing the minimum order to quality for free shipping on the Price Schedule. It will not disqualify a solicitation response.
Question 2:
If we have done business with Seminole County Public Schools since 1982 but do not currently have any formal awarded contracts, do we still need to submit the 3 references?
Answer 2: We are removing the requirement for references. See section A above.
Question 3:
In the event that international tariffs are imposed by the U.S. government, some products or parts manufactured outside the United States may incur a tariff surcharge. If this surcharge applies to any of your district's orders, you will be notified of any price increases before we process your purchase order. Will this stipulation be allowed if we supply the district with manufacturer letter(s) that support the price increase(s) during the duration of the contract?
Answer 3: Prices submitted in response to the solicitation need to be held for the full term. We will consider a surcharge to cover tariffs however documentation must be provided to justify the tariff surcharge. Tariff surcharges will be based on the purchase order date.
