About this file

Addendum No. 1 is issued by the Office of State Procurement for the State of Louisiana regarding Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 3000024539 for removing and replacing faucets at the Department of Corrections (DOC). The addendum modifies the original specifications, specifically changing the testing requirements for faucets. Vendors are now required to use materials that meet NSF/ANSI/CAN 61: Q1 or Q0.5 third-party independent testing standards, and testing of individual faucets is no longer required. The bid is scheduled to open on 04/22/2025 at 10:00 AM CT, with a vendor inquiry deadline of 04/08/2025. In response to a vendor question, the state clarified that only the valve on the sink and push button will be changed, while the water bubbler will remain untouched.

The addendum provides vendors with two options for responding: acknowledging receipt without changes or submitting revisions if the modifications impact their original bid. Vendors can return the acknowledgement by mail, hand delivery, or fax to the Office of State Procurement in Baton Rouge. The state reserves the right to request a completed acknowledgement at any time, and failure to execute an acknowledgement does not relieve bidders from complying with their bid terms. The document is signed by Arkeith White from the Office of State Procurement, providing contact information for further inquiries.

ADDENDUM NO. 01

Your reference is directed to RFx Number 3000024539 for the Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the State of Louisiana – Remove and Replace Faucets - DOC, which is currently scheduled to open at 10:00 AM CT on 04/22/2025.

The following change is to be made to the referenced solicitation:

Attachment C, Specifications currently reads:

· Faucet and valves shall be lead free. As part of the close-out documents, the Contractor shall include a certificate stating that the lead content in the domestic water system complies with governing code and Health Department criteria. A test shall be made at each faucet, spigot, drinking fountain, and any other fixture drinking water may be obtained.

Attachment C, Specifications changed to read:

· Faucet and valves shall be lead free. The testing of the faucets is not required. All materials used, solder, flux, piping/tubing, and fixtures should meet standards and have testing certifications by NSF/ANSI/CAN 61: Q≤1 or NSF/ANSI/CAN 61: Q≤0.5 third party independent testing laboratories.

The following are the vendor’s written inquiries received by the inquiry deadline date of April 08, 2025 and the State’s responses:

Vendor’s Question 1:

Are we changing water bubbler/spout on the fixtures or just hot and cold as we were told on the site that the center piece could be left?

State’s Response 1:

The valve on the sink and the push button should be changed, but the water bubbler will not be changed.

All else remains as on original Invitation to Bid.
