This is an Amendment No. 1 to Invitation for Bid (IFB) 5400020181 issued by the State of South Carolina for a Critical Incident RV to be located at Charleston Mental Health Center. The amendment modifies key dates and deadlines for the solicitation: the bid opening date has been moved to August 28, 2020 at 3:00 PM, the award posting date is set for September 7, 2020, and the contract validity period has been established as September 18, 2020 through December 18, 2020. Prospective bidders are required to acknowledge receipt of this amendment through one of four methods: signing and returning the amendment, identifying the amendment number and date on Page Two of the bid, submitting written correspondence, or submitting a bid that demonstrates receipt of the amendment. All terms and conditions not modified by this amendment remain unchanged from the original solicitation.

The amendment addresses four vendor questions regarding specifications and requirements for the vehicle. The State of South Carolina will accept a new custom-built vehicle provided it meets the specifications outlined in Section III Scope of Work and budget funds are available. However, the State will not accept completion timelines exceeding 240-330 days after receipt of order, does not require the retrofit/conversion treatment room to be a minimum of 64 square feet, and does not expect the vendor to provide a vinyl wrap on the vehicle's exterior. Prospective offerors are directed to monitor www.procurement.sc.gov for any additional amendments to the solicitation.
