About this file
This is an Addendum 1 document issued by the Town of Cary, North Carolina, clarifying the requirements and specifications for a Request for Bids (RFB 354-RFB-27-13) for Cake Feed Pump Parts and Dosing Pump Parts for the Western Wake Regional Water Reclamation Facility. The addendum addresses twelve questions submitted by potential bidders during the RFB questions period and provides critical clarifications on bidder qualifications, warranty requirements, parts specifications, and delivery terms. The procurement encompasses 29 line items for Cake Feed Pump parts (NEMO NM053BF04S24B model) and 17 line items for Dosing Pump parts (NEMO NM031BY04S24B model), with quantities ranging from one to 32 units per item. Sealed bids were due October 14, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, with questions closing October 7, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET. The contract term is six months with the option for five six-month renewals. Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder based on the combined total pricing for both pump parts groups.
Key requirements established in the addendum include that bidders must hold an authorized NETZSCH dealer appointment—reseller status or third-party authorization letters are insufficient. All warranties must be from and through the authorized NETZSCH dealer, and a one-year product warranty from delivery is required. Pricing must remain firm for 60 days during the award process and thereafter for six months with five six-month extensions. Bidders must submit unit prices and line totals for all items in both categories, with lead times noted for each line item; partial bids or partial shipments are not acceptable, though multiple deliveries may be permitted based on lead-time differences. Pricing must include freight, transportation, and delivery costs FOB destination to the facility in New Hill, North Carolina, with deliveries scheduled between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Technical assistance may be required on a case-by-case basis, and contractors must cover all technical assistance travel and lodging expenses. A revised Attachment 1 parts list corrected one duplicate line item from the original bid documents.

354-RFB-27-13 Request for Bids for Cake Feed Pump Parts & Dosing Pump Parts for WWRWRF
ADDENDUM 1 (10/8/2026)
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 Section 1 requires the bidder to be "an authorized dealer for all equipment provided." Is this satisfied by a bidder supplying genuine Netzsch parts through NETZSCH Pumps North America or its authorized distributor, supported by a NETZSCH letter confirming reseller authorization and full manufacturer warranty pass-through for this procurement, or must the bidder hold a NETZSCH dealer appointment?
A: Per the minimum specifications, bidder shall be an authorized dealer for the equipment provided. Therefore the bidder must hold a NETZSCH dealer appointment.
2) Q: Will the Town accept a manufacturer-warranty memo issued by NETZSCH (or its authorized distributor) naming the Town as beneficiary, furnished by a non-dealer reseller?
A: Warranty shall be from and through the authorized NETZSCH dealer.
3) Q: Please provide the NETZSCH pump model number and serial number (or nameplate data) for the Cake Feed and Dosing pumps, since NETZSCH keys spare-parts lists to the pump serial number. How many pumps of each type are covered by Attachment 1?
A: Pump model numbers are as follows:
Cake Feed Pump - NEMO® NM053BF04S24B Pump Dosing Pump - NEMO® NM031BY04S24B Pump
4) Q: The Cake Feed Pump Parts list contains no stator or rotor lines. Is the list complete as intended (a seal, joint and hardware rebuild kit), or should stator and rotor lines be added?
A: The list provided in Attachment 1 of the bid is complete as intended, though one unintentional duplicate line item has been removed (see Q #5).
5) Q: Items 29 and 30 both list Flat Gasket, Netzsch Part 4924734, quantity 2 each is the intended total 4, or is this a duplicate line? Dosing Pump Parts Item 11, O-Ring 516555, quantity 28 please confirm.
A: Cake Feed Pump Item 30 is an unintentional duplicate. Please see revised Attachment 1 at the end of this addendum.
6) Q: Please confirm that all Netzsch part numbers in Attachment 1 are current and not superseded.
A: All part numbers should be current.
7) Q: The bid submittal form prices "the option (or options)" submitted for evaluation. May a bidder submit Cake Feed Pump Parts only or Dosing Pump Parts only, or must both groups be bid? Will award be made separately by subtotal or on the combined total?
A: Bidders should submit pricing for both groups and all list items. Pricing grand total is what will be considered for award.
8) Q: Please confirm that the Purchase Order Terms and Conditions Section 10 insurance provisions are not triggered for this supply-only procurement, and clarify the scope of "technical Assistance" in Minimum Specifications Section 5(b) is on-site assistance required, or is remote support sufficient?
A: PO Terms and Conditions Section 10 is not triggered for this procurement. Technical assistance is determined on a case-by-case basis and on-site assistance could be required.
9) Q: Is partial shipment acceptable, or must all 47 Attachment 1 lines deliver complete?
What is the Town's required delivery window after purchase order?
A: One comprehensive delivery is preferred but multiple deliveries may be acceptable depending on differences in lead-time of different parts. There is no predetermined delivery window as delivery time will be dependent on the lead-time for parts which should be noted on the bid in the applicable column.
10) Q: Which provision governs pricing firmness: Section 2(b) of the Minimum Specifications (price quotes honored for 60 days) or Sections 13 14 of the Bid Instructions (fixed pricing for six months with five six-month extensions)?
A: The purpose of the 60-day pricing firmness is to ensure that bidders’ pricing remains firm during and throughout the award process. Once the bid has been awarded, the pricing is to remain firm for six months with (5x) six-month extensions.
11) Q: Would you accept partial quote?
A: See answer to Question #7 above.
12) Q: Please provide us a picture of the pumps nameplate with serial number and machine number and What model pumps are these so we can quote you the correct parts?
A: See answer to Question #3 above for pump model numbers. See below images for pump nameplates.
