About this file
This is Addendum 2 to Bid Invitation 29-27 issued by the State of New Hampshire, Division of Procurement and Support Services, for the procurement of one 2027 model-year John Deere 410 P Backhoe Loader. The bid closing date and time is September 8, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time, with delivery required to the DNCR Trails Bureau in Pittsburg, New Hampshire within 90 days of purchase order receipt. The addendum addresses a vendor inquiry regarding the state's criteria for evaluating alternate manufacturer equipment against the specified Deere machine, clarifying that the state will accept only the current manufacturer's published specification sheet as evidence of compliance and will not consider supplemental technical documentation, engineering reports, or demonstrations from alternate manufacturers to demonstrate equivalency.
The addendum establishes that alternate manufacturers' machines are acceptable only if they meet or exceed the specified requirements as documented in their published factory specification sheets. Bid prices must remain firm throughout the contract period with no surcharges or fuel charges permitted. Payment terms are net 30 days via ACH transfer following invoice receipt and agency acceptance. The successful vendor must provide comprehensive extended warranty coverage with a minimum of 3,000 operating hours or 60 months (whichever occurs first) with a maximum $200 deductible, covering all parts, labor, shipping, and expenses. All responses must include manufacturer specifications and a completed Vendor Application Package in compliance with New Hampshire statutes and environmentally preferable purchasing requirements.

ADDENDUM # 02 TO BID INVITATION 29-27
DATE AND TIME OF BID CLOSING: 9/8/2026 10:30 AM
FOR: Backhoe Loader
Question 9:
We respectfully are requesting clarification regarding how the Purchasing Agency intends to determine whether an alternate manufacturer's machine "matches or exceeds" the specified Deere machine when the specification is based on particular design characteristics rather than objectively measurable performance requirements.
With the State's response indicating that alternate makes and models are acceptable provided they "match or exceed" the specified machine, could the Purchasing Agency please clarify:
a) If an alternate manufacturer achieves the same intended result through a different engineering design, what documentation will the State accept as evidence that the alternate machine meets or exceeds the requirement?
b) Will manufacturers/dealers be permitted to provide supplemental technical information, engineering documentation, or other supporting information beyond the manufacturer's standard published specification sheet to demonstrate equivalency?
c) Will the Purchasing Agency consider a demonstration or technical discussion with an alternate manufacturer/dealer when a specification cannot reasonably be demonstrated through a published factory specification alone?
We are asking for this clarification so that alternate manufacturers can submit a responsive bid and provide the appropriate supporting documentation to demonstrate compliance.
State Response:
a) The state will accept the current manufactures published specification sheet.
b) The state will accept the current manufactures published specification sheet.
c) No, if the piece of equipment does not meet or exceed the requirements in its supporting documentation, then it will not be considered.
