About this file
This document is an Addendum to an Invitation to Bid (ITB) issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) for the purchase and delivery of one (1) MMBGEN4: Mower Max Boom-Gen4 for use in forestry operations, primarily for wildfire mitigation and fuel reduction. The ITB specifies that the MMBGEN4 is the only acceptable product to meet the Department's current needs, and that bids for any other brand or model will be rejected as non-responsive. The Department seeks competitive bids for the outright purchase of the equipment, and clarifies that companies are able to submit bids for consideration.
The Addendum provides responses to questions received regarding the ITB, including that the Department seeks competitive bids despite the specific brand and model being required. The ITB will be evaluated in accordance with the stated evaluation criteria, and the Addendum is incorporated into the original ITB. The contract opportunity involves the State of Florida and the jurisdictions of Leon County and Tampa City.

ADDENDUM 2
TO: VENDORS
FROM: BRITTANY HARVEY, PROCUREMENT OFFICER
RE: INVITATION TO BID NO. ITB FFS 23 24 83
MMBGEN4: MOWER MAX BOOM - GEN4
This addendum is to provide answers to questions received in reference to this invitation to bid.
Question / Answer
1. In the specifications it is mentioned “in the event of only receiving one bid”, the department will negotiate a price. Yet there is this statement:
The Department has determined that the MMBGEN4: MOWER MAX BOOM – GEN 4 is the only product acceptable to meet the Department’s current needs.
No other brand/model will be accepted by the Department under the terms and conditions of this ITB. Vendor bid submission for equipment other than the manufacturer listed herein shall be rejected as non-responsive.
This means you will only receive one bid.
The Mower Max Boom is specifically requested by the end user. The brand, model, and specifications are listed in the ITB, not the vender(s).
“Equivalents” will not be considered.
2. Do you actually want a competitive bid? Yes. The Department seeks to obtain competitive bids for the outright purchase and delivery of one (1) MMBGEN4: Mower Max Boom-Gen4.
3. Can our company bid and be considered?
Yes, your company can bid on ITB FFS 23 24 83. Bids received by the deadline will be evaluated in accordance with Section 3.15 Bid Evaluation, of the ITB.
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.
