ADDENDUM NO. 01

Your reference is directed to RFx Number 3000024575 for the Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the State of Louisiana – Anti-Ice Sprayers & Controllers DOTD, which is currently scheduled to open at 10:00AM CT on 04/30/25.

The following changes are to be made to the referenced solicitation:

Questions from the Vendor and State’s Responses:

Vendor Question 1. Electric Start or manual Start for the Gas powered motor?

State’s Response: Electric start only.

Vendor Question 2. Will a 1035 Gallon unit be acceptable?

State’s Response: 1035 Gallon will be acceptable. Please see revised Attachment B - Specifications – Pages 1-5.

Vendor Question 3. Will Hot Dipped Galvanized Framework be accepted in place of powder coating?

State’s Response: Hot Dip Galvanize will be acceptable. Please see revised Attachment B - Specifications – Pages 1-5.

Vendor Question 4. If controller is not provided how do they plan to control the systems (boom on/off or flow control) is there existing controllers for some? Usually we will package a controller with a sprayer.

State’s Response: For use without a controller, the 3 way electric control valves must be capable of being wired and operated by momentary switches.

Vendor Question 5. Not exactly following their answer for without a controller, the lane valves could be easily wired to on/off switches but the flow control valves are PWM controlled so a momentary switch would not work. Maybe they are just looking for Lane on/off in the open loop form?

State’s Response: When used without a controller, the flow control will be mechanically by-passed. The momentary switches will then be used to operate the off/on valves. We are purchasing these units with the flow control capability as a controller might be purchased when additional funding is available. At this time for the units without a controller, they will be modified to operate as a fixed rate off/on application system.
