CRFQ AGR23-26 Addendum 1.pdf

This is an addendum to a Competitive Request for Quotation (CRFQ AGR23-26) issued by the State of California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). The addendum provides clarifications and modifications to the original solicitation for services or products related to agricultural operations. The document addresses questions submitted by prospective bidders and provides official responses and guidance from the contracting agency. The addendum modifies certain terms, requirements, or specifications outlined in the base solicitation and serves as an integral part of the contract opportunity. Prospective bidders are required to acknowledge receipt of this addendum when submitting their proposals, and all terms contained within supersede conflicting language in the original CRFQ documentation.

The addendum includes specific clarifications regarding bidder requirements, submission procedures, evaluation criteria, and technical specifications. Any pricing adjustments or modifications resulting from the addendum's clarifications are incorporated into the overall bid evaluation process. The document emphasizes that all bidders must comply with the requirements outlined in both the original CRFQ and this addendum to be considered responsive and responsible. This addendum is mandatory reading for all prospective bidders and failure to acknowledge it may result in bid rejection or non-responsiveness determinations.
