ADDENDUM_2_Event_4255.pdf

This Addendum No. 2 document, issued by the City of Minneapolis Procurement Division, modifies the original Call for Bids for Event No. 4255 regarding truck parts and repairs services. The primary change extends the bid closing date from August 27, 2026 to August 31, 2026, with bids to be opened at 11:30 AM local time on the new closing date. The addendum revises the basis of award language to allow the City to award multiple contracts based on bids received, rather than limiting the award to a single contract for the overall low bidder, thereby providing the City flexibility to serve its best interests through multiple vendor relationships.

Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this addendum when submitting their bids. The modification represents a significant shift in contract award strategy, enabling the City of Minneapolis to diversify its vendor base for truck parts and repair services to the Public Works Solid Waste Department and other municipal departments. All other specifications, qualifications, and terms from the original bid request remain in effect, including mandatory requirements such as maintaining $250,000 in Freightliner parts inventory, holding Cummins OEM authorized engine repair dealership status, possessing five or more years of experience as an authorized Freightliner dealer, and employing at least two Minnesota DOT-certified inspectors or mechanics.
