This is Addendum No. 1 to an Invitation to Bid (ITB) issued by the School Board of Citrus County, Florida for welding materials, supplies, equipment, and gases. The addendum, released on November 5, 2025, modifies the original solicitation while maintaining all other terms and conditions in full force and effect. The original solicitation deadline remains unchanged at Tuesday, December 2, 2025 at 2:00 PM. The primary revision involves replacing the original Attachment A-2 Bid Price Form with a revised version (Revision 1) that reflects increased quantities for select items only; all other solicitation information remains the same. Respondents must acknowledge receipt of this addendum on the designated Acknowledgement Form.

The School Board of Citrus County intends to establish an agreement with qualified respondents to provide welding materials, supplies, equipment, and gases on an as-needed basis for technical training classes and high school welding programs throughout the district. The contract will establish firm, fixed unit prices and percentage mark-up or discount rates for additional items during the contract term. Category 1 and Category 3 items specify welding materials, supplies, equipment, and industrial gases most utilized by the welding programs, while Category 2 allows for additional materials and supplies to be purchased at negotiated cost-plus mark-ups or discounts off catalog and list prices. District operational departments, including maintenance and food service, also reserve the right to purchase from this contract at awarded bid prices. Questions regarding the addendum should be directed to Shawn Owen, Purchasing Specialist-Bid Management, at owens@citrusschools.org or (352) 726-1931 ext. 2418.
