About this file

This is Addendum No. One to Request for Bid No. 22-0010 issued by the Columbus Consolidated Government of Columbus, Georgia, seeking 30' low floor trolley buses for METRA on an as-needed basis. The City anticipates purchasing approximately 0-3 units during Fiscal Year 2022 through Fiscal Year 2025. The addendum addresses clarifications submitted by vendors and modifies the original RFB specifications. Vendors must acknowledge receipt of this addendum and include it with their sealed bid submission; failure to do so may render the proposal incomplete.

The addendum clarifies two key technical specifications: first, the City will not accept transit buses with trolley wraps as substitutes for actual trolley buses, and second, manufacturers' standard ISB engines are acceptable alternatives to the originally specified Cummins ISL engine. These responses to vendor inquiries establish the technical requirements that bidders must meet when submitting proposals for this annual contract vehicle procurement.
