About this file

This document is Addendum No. 3 issued by the Louisiana Office of State Procurement for the Invitation to Bid (ITB) 3000024533 for Salt Spreaders for the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD). The addendum modifies the original solicitation by extending the bid opening date from April 29, 2025, to May 06, 2025, and revises specifications for salt spreaders. The procurement seeks to acquire multiple salt spreaders, including 7 units of 3 cubic yard poly spreaders, 14 units of 4 cubic yard poly spreaders, 5 units of 4 cubic yard stainless steel spreaders, and 2 units of 5 cubic yard stainless steel spreaders.

The addendum addresses vendor questions regarding equipment specifications, including clarifications on tarp and tie-down strap requirements, chute functionality, and vehicle weight requirements. Key changes include modifying the bid form to specify "Chute to Allow for Cleaning and Bulk Unloading" instead of the previous "Swing Away Chute" requirement. The state emphasizes that all specifications must be included in the unit price, and vendors must fully comply with the revised Attachment B - Specifications. Bidders are required to acknowledge the addendum, with options to submit unchanged bids or provide revisions prior to the new bid opening date.
