About this file

This is Addendum #2 to Bid Invitation #2864-24 issued by the State of New Hampshire Division of Procurement and Support Services for UPS Maintenance, Inspection, Repair, Parts, and Replacement Services. The addendum addresses 15 questions and clarifications submitted by prospective vendors regarding the scope of work, equipment specifications, and contract terms. Key clarifications include confirmation that site addresses will be provided after contract implementation, that quarterly usage reporting will be tracked by county and department as specified in the bid document, and that local entities may voluntarily leverage the statewide contract by issuing their own purchase orders. The addendum specifies that Olympian and Kohler generators have been removed from the original offer sheet and vendors may submit pricing for UPS services only. Equipment list corrections were made, including confirmation that Belknap's second unit is an Olympian G-150-2020 generator and that Grafton's APC unit model number is SRT1500RMXLA. The bid closing date is January 18, 2024, at 11:00 AM, with the final day for questions and clarifications being January 16, 2024.

Proactive component replacement is not covered by annual maintenance fees and requires separate quotes and agency approval before work is performed. Battery markup is capped at 10 percent, consistent with parts markup limitations. The updated offer sheet now incorporates pricing for the possible two-year contract extension period beyond the five-year base term. Health checks for additional UPS units added to the contract should be priced consistently with existing contract health check rates. Site accessibility varies, with some locations being drive-up accessible and others potentially gated, though four-wheel-drive vehicle requirements and exact drive distances to equipment cannot be determined at this time. All changes noted in this addendum supersede previously submitted documents and must be included with bid submissions. The purchasing agent is Lincoln Adams, with questions to be directed to Lincoln.J.Adams@DAS.NH.Gov.
