About this file
This is Addendum No. 1 (Q&A) to Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. FM-25-523 issued by the City of Long Beach, Department of Financial Management, Purchasing Division. The solicitation concerns the procurement of 10 Can-AM Defender UTV vehicles. The City clarified that staggered delivery of the units is acceptable, as dealers indicated all 10 vehicles would not be available for simultaneous delivery. The specifications document is posted on LB Buys, with detailed information located on page 8 of the specifications sheet. Proposers are required to acknowledge receipt of this addendum by signing and submitting it with their proposals; failure to do so may result in disqualification.
The City specified that the current make and model year is preferable and that vehicles must be black in color, as detailed on page 5 of the specifications. The City explicitly rejected an "Approved Equal" request for a 2025 Polaris Ranger Crew XP 1000 NorthStar Ultimate Edition, stating that it will not accept alternative options because the City currently maintains several Can-AM units in its fleet, and the specified make and model ensures consistency with existing maintenance procedures, parts inventory, and technician training. The addendum was prepared by Ahmed Ali, Buyer II, and was issued on February 4, 2025.

NOTICE TO PROPOSERS
ADDENDUM NO. 1: Q&A
ITB No. FM-25-523 Can AM Defender UTV
This addendum changes and supersedes the language in the original ITB. Please acknowledge receipt of this addendum by signing and submitting with your proposals. Any proposer who fails to submit this addendum may be disqualified.
The City would like to issue an Addendum to provide the following:
Responses from the City are below:
1. I have been contacting dealers for the purchase of 10 Can AM UTV's. They are telling me that 10 would not be available to purchase in one go, they can order them, but they would be delivered at staggered times, as the units are available.
Would this be acceptable?
A: Yes, this is acceptable.
2. We are sending an "Approved Equal" Request for Solicitation # ITB-FM-25-523.
We noticed the solicitation mentions the Can-Am Defender Max Limited HD10
Model specifically. We wanted to see if the City will approve an Equal Alternative that we believe will meet/exceed all requirements and expectations that the City has for these vehicles. We would like to offer a 2025 Polaris Ranger Crew XP 1000
NorthStar Ultimate Edition. I have attached a complete spec sheet for reference as well as listed the additional accessories that will come with this unit in order to meet the requirements listed out in the Spec sheet of the solicitation. We have worked with and sold Polaris UTVs for years and truly believe they offer a superior product and we believe it will be more cost effective for the city to go with a Polaris instead of the Can Am model requested. Additional attachments that will come with the Polaris Model: - Emergency Light Package Item #: 2883978 I have included a brochure to show what the light package entails as well as where the
Addendum #1 – ITB FM-25-523 lights will be positioned. Also, the City will have full control over color customization of the lights whether that be Blue/Red or Amber. - LED Headlights
Item #: 2889791- City has the option of the following colors: Blue Slate Metallic
Smoke, Sunset Red or Stealth Gray. Also it is worth mentioning that there are multiple service locations within the city limits alleviating any quick need for repairs or warranty claims.(see email saved in folder)
A: No, we will not accept any alternative options, because we have several units
(CAN-AM) in the Fleet, this make and model is consistent with our current maintenance, parts and training by our technicians.
3. Do you have a specifications sheet, so I can zero in on the exact model and is there a color preference?
A: The specifications document is posted on LB Buys. Information regarding make, model and color requested, can be found on page # 8 (CAN-AM DEFENDER
MAX LIMITED HD10).
4. What year do the vehicles need to be? 2024 or 2025?
A: Current, make and model year is preferable.
5. What color do the vehicles need to be?
A: This can be found on Page #5 of the specifications (Color) Black.
