This is Addendum #01 to Bid Invitation 10-26 issued by the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Division of Procurement and Support Services, for a wheelchair lift replacement project at 33 North State Street in Concord, NH. The addendum clarifies critical specifications for the two wheelchair lifts required through this solicitation, which must have a 750-pound capacity, two-level travel, 93-inch travel distance, and passthrough cab configuration. The mandatory site visit was scheduled for August 8, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, with bid closing at 1:30 PM on August 15, 2025. The successful bidder must complete delivery and installation by September 26, 2025, and provide a one-year warranty covering 100% of parts, shipping, labor, travel, lodging, and expenses.

The addendum addresses three critical clarifications regarding lift specifications: the lift is located in an interior space; however, the shaft is damp and susceptible to water intrusion, necessitating that the lift be rated for exterior use rather than interior use. This requirement supersedes previous specifications, as the current Savaria lifts failed due to their interior rating in this moisture-prone environment. The lift must be fire-rated. Bidders are required to be registered with the NH Bureau of Purchase and Property and the NH Secretary of State, provide certificates of insurance with $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate liability coverage, and submit comprehensive pricing including total labor and materials costs. Payment will be processed via ACH in two phases: upon removal of existing equipment and upon installation of new equipment, with invoices paid within 30 days of receipt and acceptance.
