About this file

This is Addendum 1 to Request for Bids 354-RFB-27-11 issued by the Town of Cary, North Carolina, dated October 9, 2026, clarifying specifications and answering questions for the procurement of replacement components for gravity belt thickener equipment at the North Cary Water Reclamation Facility. The addendum addresses three critical questions submitted during the RFB questioning period. The Town specified that bidders must themselves be authorized dealers for all materials provided, not merely suppliers of original equipment through authorized distribution channels. The addendum includes photographic documentation of nameplate serial numbers for both gravity belt thickener units at the facility to ensure accurate component matching. Regarding quantities listed in Attachment 1, the Town clarified that the specified quantities represent components for two separate machines rather than a single machine with spare parts. Final bids are due October 21, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. ET.

The addendum emphasizes that all other terms and conditions of the original RFB remain in full force and effect. Bidders must maintain full manufacturer warranties on genuine, new, unused original equipment parts and demonstrate authorized dealer status with Alfa Laval or other component manufacturers as applicable. The procurement supports wastewater treatment operations at the North Cary Water Reclamation Facility, a municipal utility function of the Town of Cary.

354-RFB-27-11 Request for Bids for Gravity Belt Thickener Components

ADDENDUM 1 (October 9, 2026)

Please note that this addendum is to clarify the bid and answer questions submitted during the “RFB Questions” open period. All other terms and conditions given in the RFB are in full force and effect.

QUESTION & ANSWER

1) Q: Minimum Specifications 1(b) requires the bidder to be "an authorized dealer for all MATERIALS provided." Where a bidder supplies new, unused Alfa Laval original-equipment parts purchased through Alfa Laval's authorized channel with full manufacturer warranties maintained, does that satisfy 1(b), or must the bidder itself hold Alfa Laval dealer authorization?

A: The bidder itself must be an authorized dealer for all materials provided, as required by Section 1(b) of the Minimum Specifications. Supplying genuine, new, unused Alfa Laval original-equipment parts purchased through Alfa Laval’s authorized distribution channel does not, by itself, satisfy this requirement unless the bidder is also authorized by Alfa Laval to provide the materials.

2) Q: Please provide the serial number or model configuration of the 2.0 AquaBelt 96 unit (or units) at the North Cary Water Reclamation Facility so that quoted parts match the installed machines exactly.

A: See attached photo of both (2) name plates which includes the serial number.

3) Q: Most Attachment 1 quantities are 2 each please confirm whether these cover one machine with spares or two separate machines.

A: Two separate machines.
