Addendum to RFQ 87945.pdf

This is an addendum to a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources for mowing, trimming, and light trash pick-up services at Williams Dam and Spice Valley Public Access areas in Lagrange County. The addendum announces a reposting of RFQ #0030087945 due to significant revisions, specifically the removal of diversity supplier participation goals and Indiana Economic Impact requirements from the original solicitation. Bidders are instructed to disregard the previous RFQ packet and submit new bids incorporating the changes outlined in this addendum. The revised bidding deadline is September 8, 2026 at 10:00 AM EDT. The contract term runs four years from April 1, 2027 through March 31, 2031, with potential renewal by mutual consent not exceeding four years total. Services include weekly mowing and trimming at Williams Dam from April 1 through June 30 and bi-weekly services from July 1 through October 31 (not exceeding 22 annual services plus four as-needed services), with weekly trash pick-up from April 1 through October 31. Spice Valley services follow a similar mowing and trimming schedule with 26 combined annual trash pick-up services.

Bidders must provide unit pricing per service for each location and year, with all quoted prices valid for thirty calendar days after the response due date. The original RFQ established participation goals of 8% for minority business enterprises, 11% for women business enterprises, and 3% for Indiana Veteran-Owned Small Business Enterprises, but these requirements have been removed in this addendum. Bidders may still claim Indiana purchasing preferences including the Indiana Business Preference, U.S. Manufactured Product Preference, Indiana Manufactured Preference, Small Business Preference, and recycled content preferences with appropriate documentation. Responses must be emailed to Jen Reeves at JReeves@dnr.in.gov or faxed to 317-972-3275, and all questions must be submitted no less than seven days before the bidding deadline. Bidders recommended for award must register with the State's Procurement Division prior to contract issuance. The State reserves the right to terminate for convenience with 30 days' notice or due to funding unavailability.
