ADDENDUM 1 - BID DUE DATE EXTENDED.docx

This is an addendum to a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the procurement of a Boston Whaler 210 Guardian boat package with approved alternate vessel options. The original RFQ 260000000373 sought bids for a brand-specific Boston Whaler 210 Guardian vessel. Due to pending revised boat specifications from the DNR Law Enforcement Division, the bid due date has been extended from its original date to July 31, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. EST. The revised specifications will allow qualified bidders to submit proposals for pre-approved comparable alternate vessels that meet the DNR's operational requirements as an alternative to the original brand-specific model.

Prospective bidders are instructed not to submit bids until Addendum 2 is posted, which will contain the revised boat specifications and guidance on acceptable comparable alternatives. This addendum indicates that the procurement process is still in development and that final specifications and bidding instructions will be provided through subsequent addenda before the extended deadline.
