Addendum 1 for DOT-ITB-26-2002-JB is issued by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Two Procurement Office for a solicitation to acquire a 53-foot semi-trailer with a Conestoga Tarp System. This addendum provides clarification by addressing a bidder's question regarding trailer construction materials, specifically confirming that FDOT will accept a semi-trailer with a steel/aluminum combination frame or an all-aluminum trailer. The document requires bidders to acknowledge receipt of the addendum by completing and returning a signed form with their bid package, with failure to do so potentially resulting in a non-responsive bid status.

The addendum does not specify pricing details or funding sources, but it is part of a broader procurement process that includes several compliance requirements. The solicitation emphasizes strict adherence to civil rights and non-discrimination statutes, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and includes provisions for vendor certification, drug-free workplace requirements, and E-Verify employment eligibility verification. While no specific budget is outlined in this addendum, the document is part of a structured procurement process with specific submission and award timelines, indicating a formal and comprehensive approach to acquiring the specified semi-trailer equipment.
