This document is Addendum #1 for Bid 4092AH issued by the Marion County Public Schools (MCPS) Purchasing Department in Ocala, Florida, related to a term contract for Teaching Supplies Pre K-12 Discount Catalog. The addendum specifically modifies Section C. BID BOND AND PERFORMANCE BONDS on page 13 of the original bid document, changing the requirement from mandating a bid bond or performance bond to explicitly stating that no bond is required for this bid. Bidders are instructed to complete and include the Acknowledgement of Addenda form with their bid submission to confirm receipt and adherence to this modification.

The addendum is part of a broader procurement effort to establish a term contract for teaching supplies across various district schools and departments, with the primary goal of securing firm, fixed percentage discount pricing. The school district prefers vendors to provide a URL link with discounted pricing accessible through user logins, allowing schools and departments to shop online, build carts with discounted prices, and then route those carts through internal requisition and approval processes. The contract aims to provide classroom instructional teaching aids with consistent, predetermined discount structures that remain firm throughout the contract term and potential renewals, with the flexibility to accommodate sales promotions offering additional price reductions.
