Addendum 1

This is Addendum #1 to RFP #377-21 issued by Dawson County, Georgia for Construction Services—Comprehensive Security System Upgrade. The addendum was issued on July 30, 2021, by Purchasing Manager Melissa Hawk, with a bid closing date of August 26, 2021, at 10:30 a.m. EST. A mandatory pre-proposal conference was scheduled for August 5, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. at the Law Enforcement Center lobby located at 19 Tucker Avenue, Dawsonville, GA 30534. The primary amendments clarify that pre-approval requirements previously listed in the Engineer's Drawings/Specifications have been removed due to the County's lack of a pre-qualification policy and procedure; instead, bidders must detail qualifications of all employees, subcontractors, and consultants within designated response tabs and may submit additional information regarding the ECS's qualifications and recent projects completed within the last ten years to the Purchasing Manager by the question deadline. Additionally, specification details for Cell Monitoring & Inmate Alarm (Section 280210) have been relocated from Attachment B to Attachment A. All other dates, specifications, terms, and conditions remain unchanged from the original RFP document.

The addendum does not address pricing terms, set-asides, or specific funding information. Dawson County does not discriminate in its contracting practices and provides equal opportunity for all businesses regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, or veteran status. The County does not guarantee a minimum or maximum contract value. All bidders must execute and submit the addendum signature page as part of their proposal response.
