About this file
This is Addendum No. One to Request for Bid (RFB) No. 23-0017, issued by the Columbus Consolidated Government of Columbus, Georgia on October 5, 2022. The City is seeking vendors to provide 30' low floor trolley heavy duty buses to METRA on an "as needed" basis, with anticipated purchases of approximately 3-4 units during Fiscal Years 2023 through 2026. Vendors must acknowledge receipt of this addendum using the form provided in the original solicitation; failure to do so may result in the submittal being deemed non-responsive and ineligible for award consideration. The original due date for submissions has been extended to November 9, 2022, per Addendum No. Two.
The addendum addresses a vendor question regarding Section 5.4.4.5 (Floor Covering) on page 46 of the specifications. A vendor requested that METRA specify Altro wood safety as the floor covering product to provide a wood plank appearance while maintaining slip-resistant properties in dry and wet conditions. The City's Purchasing Division Manager denied this request, citing federal regulations that prohibit modifying specifications to require brand-name products. Vendors are instructed to propose alternative products that meet the specified requirements as part of their overall bid response.
