Addendum 1 ITB PW-24-414_Final~2.pdf

This is an Addendum No. 1 to a Request for Proposals (RFP No. PW-24-414) issued by the City of Long Beach, Department of Financial Management, dated September 5, 2024, for metal bin refurbishing services. The addendum modifies the original Invitation to Bid and must be acknowledged and submitted with all proposals; failure to submit the addendum may result in disqualification. The addendum clarifies that proposers are not permitted to conduct onsite assessments or physical evaluations of the bins. Instead, the City has provided photographic documentation of the bins in lieu of site visits. The City emphasizes that it will not be bound by any oral communications or information obtained outside the official communication process unless confirmed in writing by the designated City Contact or Alternate City Contact as specified in Section 5, Page 4 of the original ITB.

The addendum includes a single question-and-answer entry addressing proposer inquiries regarding onsite bin evaluation. Proposers requesting visual or physical assessments to better understand the refurbishing needs were informed that site visits are unavailable, and photographs of the bins have been provided instead. The accompanying images show various conditions of the metal bins, including rust spots leading to holes, stuck wheels, interior degradation, and overall structural wear. Proposers must base their bids on the descriptive information and photographic evidence supplied by the City rather than direct physical inspection of the equipment.
