About this file
This document is Addendum #1 to the Invitation for Bids (IFB) issued by the City of Lawrence, Massachusetts for the procurement of Library Books. The addendum responds to various questions from bidders, clarifying requirements such as the need for paperback copies, the deletion of a duplicate line item, the acceptance of alternate ISBNs for out-of-print titles, and the preference for paperback books. It also confirms that the contract will be awarded to multiple vendors offering the lowest total price per item, with books shipping to multiple locations within the city limits.
