This document is Addendum No. 1 for an Invitation to Bid (ITB) issued by the Office of State Procurement for the State of Louisiana, specifically addressing a tractor rental opportunity for the Department of Corrections Prison Enterprises. The solicitation (RFx Number 3000025051) seeks a John Deere 6130M tractor with a 620R Standard Farm Loader, with a 12-month initial contract period beginning January 1, 2026, and potential renewals for two additional 12-month periods, not exceeding a total of 36 months. The bid is scheduled to open on July 23, 2025, at 10:00 AM CT, with a maximum usage limit of 1,200 hours per year and a comprehensive 48-month/3,500-hour warranty requirement.

The addendum specifically addresses an insurance-related vendor question, with the state confirming that physical damage insurance should be included in the bid price. The document provides instructions for vendors to acknowledge the addendum, either by confirming no changes are needed or by submitting revisions prior to the bid opening. Vendors must comply with state procurement regulations, including potential Louisiana preferences for workforce composition and product manufacturing origin. The procurement involves specific technical requirements for the tractor, including engine power specifications, hydraulic system capabilities, and front loader attachments, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specified requirements.
