Addendum_2_ITB_25-08_Golf_Cart_Batteries.pdf

Addendum 2 to ITB 25-08 issued by the State of Florida provides clarifications and modifications to the original Invitation to Bid for golf cart batteries, specifically Trojan brand or approved equivalent alternatives. The primary bid document was posted on February 9, 2026, with a submission deadline of February 23, 2026. This addendum, issued on February 18, 2026, supplements an earlier addendum distributed on February 9, 2026, and addresses specifications for approved equivalent battery models, pricing structures, and delivery terms. Prospective bidders are required to acknowledge receipt of both addenda and incorporate all requirements into their proposals to ensure responsiveness. The procurement is designed to supply golf cart batteries in specified quantities and configurations to support state agency operations and authorized users through a competitive bidding process.

The addendum establishes comprehensive technical specifications, quality standards, and performance criteria that proposed batteries must meet or exceed, along with detailed requirements for pricing, delivery schedules, and product documentation. All vendors must comply with Florida's state procurement regulations. The documentation does not disclose set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, bidder eligibility restrictions, or incumbent vendor information. Similarly, the budget range or anticipated award value for this procurement is not specified in the available materials. Vendors should obtain and review all documentation, including the primary bid document and both addenda, to fully understand procurement requirements and submission procedures. The State of Florida's centralized procurement structure indicates that awarded vendors may supply multiple state agencies and authorized users, potentially establishing a framework agreement for ongoing battery supply needs.
