Addendum No. Seven

Side Loader 31-Yard Refuse Truck Bodies

RFB No. 22-0042

Acknowledgment of receipt of Addenda must be included with sealed Bid.

Initials: Company:

Vendors are informed that the above subject Request for Bid (RFB) is hereby modified, corrected, or supplemented as specified, described and set forth in this Addendum:

A. ARP Federal Reporting

Please complete the attached questionnaire for “Federal Funding for ARP Funded Purchases Reporting

Requirements” (Appendix B) and return with your sealed bid.

B. City’s response to submitted request for clarification

1. Question: “I’ve been receiving the addendums to the refuse truck bodies bid. I keep hoping to see an addendum to accept arm mounted to the body. Is there any chance that could be an exception or modification addressing this? I would very much like to provide a bid. I know it’s a big ask and a long shot. But thought I would throw it out there any way. We’ve had success at multiple sites in Georgia and would love the opportunity to re-submit.”

Response: We refer you to Addendum No. Five, Item A, which states, ‘The Public Works Department requirement for a chain lift was derived from the department’s experience with ASL trucks currently owned and operated by the City. Non-body mounted trucks are the preference of the department; however, if body-mounted trucks show a better operating system/truck during the equipment demonstration they will be seriously considered. The lowest, responsible, responsive bidder with the highest demonstration score will be recommended for award.’

Vendors should provide a demo if they are confident in their product.

C. Addendum Acknowledgement

Indicate that your company has received this Addendum in the appropriate areas and include with sealed Bid. Failure to acknowledge receipt of this addendum may render your Proposal

“Incomplete”.
