About this file

This Addendum 1, issued by the City of Madison Finance Department Purchasing Services on October 16, 2025, provides clarifications to bidders for Contract 5429-0-2025-BG regarding the procurement of single beds and bunk beds with mattresses for Bartillon Shelter. The addendum addresses six questions received from potential bidders, establishing specifications for bed and mattress dimensions, material composition, delivery timelines, installation requirements, and accessibility standards. Bidders are required to submit proposals that include both beds and mattresses as a combined package, with vendor-completed installation being mandatory rather than optional.

Key specification clarifications include: mattress length may be reduced to 75 inches (from the original 80-inch requirement), mattress cores may be either steel innerspring or foam construction, sleeping surfaces must measure 30" x 80" with exterior frame variance not exceeding 5 inches in width, total height from floor to top of mattress must be 23 inches to meet accessibility requirements, and lead times exceeding 15 weeks (approximately 100 days) are not acceptable. Prospective bidders are directed to contact Brittany Garcia at the City of Madison Purchasing Services for additional inquiries regarding this procurement.

Single Bed and Bunk Beds with Mattresses for Bartillon Shelter

Notice to All Bidders:

Please note the following responses to the questions received:

Question 1: I understand that the sleeping surface is required to be 80"x30", and that the mattress needs to adhere to the same dimensions. Is there room for variance, in other words, can the mattress be 75 inches in length?

Answer 1: 75-inch mattress length is ok.

Question 2: Will only steel innerspring core be accepted? No foam?

Answer 2: Foam is also accepted.

Question 3: Are the mattress dimensions to be 30" x 80", or is this the exterior width of the frame?

Answer 3: Sleeping surface is required to be 30” x 80”. There is room for variance of no more than 5 inches for the width of the exterior frame. Mattress needs to adhere to the same dimension.

Question 4: Are you open to a lead-time of 15 weeks? I can match these specific dimensions [ ie. H, W, L ] with 100 days from time of order.

Answer 4: No.

Question 5: Is it imperative that the vendor complete the installation instead of shelter staff?

Answer 5: Yes.

Question 6: What height should the mattresses be? Can we bid on the mattresses alone, or do we need to include the beds as well?

Answer 6: Mattress height can vary but must meet requirement of 23-inches from floor to top of mattress for accessibility. At this time, bid to include both beds and mattress.

Please direct any other questions to the Purchasing contact person below.
