Amendment+1.docx

Amendment #1 for North Dakota State University (NDSU) relates to a solicitation for Dolve Hall desk procurement, specifically Bid Number NDSUCE2025.07. The amendment covers a project to furnish 66 workstations in the Dolve Hall basement, with a proposal deadline of April 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST. The solicitation seeks Steelcase Universal Workstations or equivalent alternatives, each featuring a 24'x60' rectangular desk with specific components including a metal base, HPL surface, power tower, laminate BBF, and privacy screens. The amendment addresses vendor questions regarding workstation specifications, such as screen height (25" total, with 19" above the worksurface) and confirms that height-adjustable desks are not required.

The procurement process is structured as an open competition with no specific vendor set-asides, focusing on selecting the most responsive and responsible bidder at the lowest price. Vendors must submit comprehensive specifications, descriptive literature, and warranty information, with pricing expected to include all associated costs like shipping, delivery, installation, material removal, and site cleanup. The project involves furnishing workstations across three areas of Dolve Hall, with color finish options including wood tones, black, and gray, utilizing Grade 2 or equivalent laminate/paint/fabric finishes. Installation is planned for August 25, 2025, with a passenger elevator available for access. Vendors are encouraged to use Appendix A for any proposed substitutions and must coordinate delivery logistics, potentially managing packaging disposal via a roll-off dumpster.
