About this file

This Addendum #3 document is issued by the State of New Hampshire Division of Procurement and Support Services in response to vendor questions regarding Bid Invitation #2864-24 for UPS Maintenance, Inspection, Repair, Parts, and Replacement Services. The addendum clarifies equipment specifications and pricing methodology for the five-year contract term running from May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2029. Key clarifications include confirmation that a Liebert UPS unit is rated at 45 kVa, correction of a Schneider Electric model number (APC360 instead of AOC360), and detailed guidance on pricing structure for preventative maintenance services. The original bid closing date was extended from January 18, 2024, to January 25, 2024, at 11:00 AM EST, with the final day for questions and clarifications moved to January 22, 2024.

The State maintained its original pricing methodology requiring vendors to bid on all yellow-highlighted cells with a single cost per equipment model for two preventative maintenance visits per year. Should a site choose only one annual preventative maintenance visit, the cost will be fifty percent of the major semi-annual rate, with the understanding that 24/7 emergency services included in the annual fee will not be duplicated in pricing. Minor inspections outside scheduled annual or semi-annual maintenance will be billed based on applicable labor rates and materials. All changes noted in this addendum supersede previously submitted bid documents and must be included with bid submissions. The purchasing agent for this procurement is Lincoln Adams, and all complete bid documentation and addendums are available through the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services purchasing portal.

STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

DIVISION OF PROCUREMENT AND SUPPORT SERVICES

BUREAU OF PURCHASE AND PROPERTY

STATE HOUSE ANNEX

25 CAPITOL STREET

CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE 03301-6398

Date of Change: January 17, 2024

ADDENDUM # 03 TO BID INVITATION #2864-24

DATE AND TIME OF BID CLOSING: 1/25/2024 11:00 AM

FOR: UPS MAINTENANCE, INSPECTION, REPAIR, PARTS, AND REPLACEMENT SERVICES

• QUESTION 16: Line 28 on the new sheet what Kva is the Liebert

STATE RESPONSE: 45 Kva

QUESTIONS 17: We are requesting adjusted language for below:

Instructions: Vendors are to fill out each of the "Annual Rate" of service columns for each line item. It is understood that Major Semi-Annual Maintenance Rate is for two (2) Semi Annual Preventative Maintenance services per year. Should an agency choose to only receive one (1) annual service it is understood that the cost will be half of the Major Semi-Annual rate.

A vendors must bid on all yellow highlighted cells to be considered for the bid.

Since this is a “full-service” agreement where 24x7 emergency services are included in the annual fee, the above language will result in highly inflated pricing. We need to ensure that we’re compensated for the “full-service” portion of the annual fee in the cost of (1)PM as the sites have the option to get 1 or 2 PMs. Essentially the sites would be paying for the 24x7 service portion 2x. The previous RFP had the 1st PM priced out, then the 2nd PM priced separately in case the site(s) requested. Please advise.

STATE RESPONSE: No. The current language will not be adjusted. If a site requests only 1 PM, it will be half of the major semi-annual rate. The State will not be paying 2x for 24/7 service. Minor inspections that are not part of an annual or semi-annual service will be based labor rates and materials.

Vendors pricing should be listed for the model listed to receive 2 PM’s per year.

Vendors should NOT input pricing for Major Semi-Annual Maintenance Cost based on the quantity listed, but rather a single models cost for a 2PM per year service. The quantity listed is just for vendors informational purposes.

Again, vendors should input their pricing for that specific model and NOT base their pricing off of quantity listed. Should you have further specific questions or comments on this please submit them via e-mail to Lincoln Adams at Lincoln.J.Adams@DAS.NH.Gov

QUESTION 18: Can more information be provided for the Schneider Electric AOC360, qty 4, equipment? I have not been able to identify that model.

STATE RESPONSE: This is a typo and should read APC360.
