ADDENDUM 1
TO: VENDORS
FROM: STEPHANIE BERGOZZA, PROCUREMENT OFFICER
RE: INVITATION TO BID NO. ITB CS 23 24 93
Refrigerated Air Intake Dehumidifier / Chiller for Octane Knock Engines –
Consumer Services
This addendum includes the Department’s answers to inquiries received in reference to this
ITB.
Question / Answer
1. As I prepare to submit my bid, I need clarification on the submission process. Are bids only accepted via U.S. mail and not electronically?
I find these two sections a bit confusing:
Yes, bids are only accepted via U.S. mail. You may also submit bids via courier, overnight or hand delivered. Pursuant to Section 3.8, Instructions for Bid Submittal, of ITB No. ITB CS 23 24
93, Electronic (email/fax) submission of bids will not be accepted for the ITB.
2. Our company is headquartered in Chicago, IL, but we conduct business both in Florida and on a global scale. To ensure compliance and accuracy, could you kindly clarify the specific document requirements based on these parameters?
The preference is based on the vendors’ location of the principal place of business.
Pursuant to Section 287.084, F.S., the lowest responsible and responsive vendor whose principal place of business is located within the State of Florida is entitled to a preference over the lowest responsible and responsive bud submitted by a vendor whose principal place of business is located outside of the State of Florida.
If the lowest responsible and responsive bid submitted by a vendor whose principal place of business is outside of the State of Florida, Section 3.16, The Florida Based Business Preference, of the ITB, provides instructions to vendors.
This Addendum is hereby incorporated into and made a part of the above noted Invitation to Bid. All other terms, conditions and specifications of this Invitation to Bid will remain the same. For questions regarding this Addendum, please contact the Purchasing Office at email at Bids@FDACS.gov.
Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in section 120.57(3), Florida Statutes, or failure to post the bond or other security required by law within the time allowed for filing a bond shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under chapter 120, Florida Statutes. Protests must be filed with the Agency Clerk, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, The Holland Building, 600 South Calhoun Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399.
