Amendment 1 QA MA180739.docx

This is Amendment 1 to RFB #MA180739 issued by the State of Wisconsin, Consolidated Agency Purchasing Services (CAPS) on behalf of the Department of Military Affairs (DMA), for the procurement of lumber. The amendment clarifies specifications for the lumber to be supplied for Homeland Security training sessions conducted at REACT, Volk Field, Camp Douglas, Wisconsin. The training sessions occur for two weeks every month from March through December. The lumber will be used to support these recurring monthly training programs, and DMA does not guarantee any minimum purchase quantity or dollar amount under the resulting contract.

Amendment 1 specifically addresses a bidder question regarding acceptable lumber grades by clarifying that all lumber must be dimensional cut, untreated Standard Grade Spruce, Pine, and Fir, defined as No. 2 of Nonstress-Graded Lumber (Common), which falls below No. 1 (Construction) grade. This specification establishes a single acceptable grade standard for all bid submissions, eliminating any ambiguity regarding whether bidders could submit pricing for multiple lumber grades. Bids that require minimum order quantities will be rejected, and there is no guarantee of a minimum contract price during the contract term.
