The addendum clarifies specifications and requirements for items listed on Long Beach Buys and supersedes language in the original ITB. Proposers must acknowledge receipt of this addendum by signing and submitting it with their proposals, or face potential disqualification. For business cards, stock will be 100 lb linen cover, while certificates with gold foil will use 80 lb classic linen text. Typical ink colors in City orders are navy blue and black. Item quantities have been revised from the original ITB, and proposers must review the current items and quantities listed in Long Beach Buys to submit accurate pricing. Samples of items are available for pickup at City Hall (411 West Ocean Boulevard, Long Beach, CA 90802) by requesting them via email at purchasingbids@longbeach.gov or by calling 562-570-5665.
A proposer raised a critical concern regarding discrepancies between foil specifications and the actual process of burnished engraving for business card masters, noting that these processes involve significantly different costs. The City responded by directing proposers to provide gold-engraved costs and to review detailed item descriptions in Long Beach Buys to ensure accurate quotations. The City emphasized that all official communication must occur through the designated communication process, and proposers are not bound by any oral communications or information obtained outside official channels unless confirmed in writing by the City Contact or Alternate City Contact.

5. Q: Regarding Gold Foil for Office Services (TI-26-695) bid, I have a concern.
On the business card masters requested, I was going to print that job for
Long Beach recently, and quoted it as foil as I was told it is. But upon receiving the sample, it is not foil, if is a very specific and more expensive process called burnished engraving. You will receive all incorrect quotes if done this way as on the bid. I don’t know what all of the other items actually are when you ask for foil, whether they are foil or burnished engraving. The business card masters also have ink on them in addition. We are very good at these jobs, but I don’t want my bid to have the correct items and others quote foil, as the price is different. And I don’t know if the rest of the items are really foil or burnished engraving. Can you help?
A: Please provide gold-engraved costs. Review the item descriptions in Long
Beach Buys.
