About this file
This is Addendum #1 to Request for Proposals #2026-01 issued by the Norwalk Transit District (NTD) in Connecticut for Vehicle Advertising Services, dated November 21, 2025. The addendum addresses clarifications and questions submitted by potential respondents regarding the transit advertising contract. Key operational details include that the District anticipates using 5-10% of total advertising space annually for its own promotional purposes, vehicles are serviced every 4,000 miles, and the fleet size is expected to remain stable throughout the contract term with no anticipated changes until 2027/2028. Installation and removal of advertising may occur during normal business hours on weekdays and during 7pm-11pm on weeknights or weekends with prior notice to the Shop Manager. Vehicles may be held for sign installation with a minimum of 72 hours advance notice to the Shop Manager, subject to operational capacity. Electronic submissions must be provided on a flash drive rather than via email due to file size concerns.
The addendum clarifies that transit advertising revenue figures referenced in the original RFP (page 14) represent actual net revenues received and reported as part of the District's audited financials. NTD prefers not to have District employees involved in advertising installations, even outside normal working hours, as third-party contractors. Respondents are required to acknowledge receipt of this addendum by signing and returning the acknowledgment page with their proposal submission. The original RFP documents and any previously issued addenda remain in full force and effect except as modified by this addendum.
