This is Addendum #01 to Bid Invitation 210-25 issued by the State of New Hampshire Division of Procurement and Support Services for the procurement of aerial lift and sign body and service body supply and installation. The original bid closing date of May 28, 2025, at 11:30 AM has been extended to June 4, 2025, at 11:00 AM in response to a vendor request for an additional two weeks. The procurement involves the supply and installation of two configurations: an aerial lift with a sign body and an aerial lift with a service body, both mounted on a 2025 Ford F-450 chassis provided by the state. The deliverables include a 29' telescoping non-insulated aerial lift with a minimum 34' working height, 360-degree boom rotation, a galvanized enclosed service body with specified compartment configurations, operator and parts manuals, and mandatory on-site training. The planned delivery and installation period is 180 days following contract award. Lincoln Adams serves as the purchasing agent, with contact information available through the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services website.

All changes noted in this addendum supersede previously submitted documents and must be included with bid submissions. Evaluation criteria are based on the lowest cost per line item, with vendors required to demonstrate state registration compliance and provide proof of comprehensive general liability insurance. Preferred manufacturers include Reading for body specifications and Versa-Lift, Dur-A-Lift, and UTEM for aerial lift units. Vendors must offer a six-year limited warranty on the service body and a two-year no-cost warranty on the aerial lift unit. The procurement is open to established vendors with service and repair facilities within 45 miles of Concord, New Hampshire. While no specific budget was disclosed, the complexity and scope of equipment and installation suggest a significant investment, likely ranging from $150,000 to $250,000. The state retains the right to award this as a non-exclusive contract, allowing other contractors to be retained for similar services as needed.
