This Addendum #02 document is issued by the New Hampshire Division of Procurement and Support Services for Request for Bid (RFB) 198-25 regarding the procurement of a Compact Wheel Loader for Merrimack County municipal operations. The addendum addresses a clarification question regarding equipment specifications, specifically confirming that the State will accept a maximum speed of 21.7 MPH, which supersedes the original 20 MPH specification stated in the base bid solicitation. The bid closing date remains May 20, 2025, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time. All other specifications outlined in the original bid document remain unchanged and valid. Respondents must acknowledge receipt of this addendum by submitting it with their bid proposal, and the purchasing agent for this procurement is Lincoln Adams of the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services.

This addendum represents a material specification change to the original bid requirements that provides bidders with increased flexibility in equipment options while maintaining the primary functional objectives of snow removal, berm maintenance, back dragging, and moving heavy objects for municipal operations. Bidders must ensure compliance with all remaining original specifications, including horsepower requirements exceeding 62 HP, overall width not exceeding 6'3", height of 8'1" or less, ground clearance of at least 12 inches, and delivery within 120 days to New Hampton, NH.
