HHS-24-016_Addendum_1.pdf

This is an addendum to a solicitation for laundry and linen service issued by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC) for their health clinic operations. Addendum 1, dated March 29, 2024, clarifies key requirements and contract terms for interested bidders. The solicitation requests comprehensive laundry and linen services, with quantities based on current yearly totals that are expected to increase as SRPMIC continues to hire additional staff. The document indicates that proposals were originally due by April 5, 2024, allowing approximately three weeks from the initial posting on March 11, 2024, for vendors to prepare submissions.

All bidders are required to maintain HLAC or Hygienically Clean certification to qualify for consideration. SRPMIC intends to enter into a single supplier agreement using the sample agreement provided in the original RFP, which may be modified to include reasonable terms and language protecting the contractor from financial risk when purchasing custom inventory specific to SRPMIC's needs—similar to arrangements currently in place with the Public Works Department's uniform company contract. The addendum reflects SRPMIC's commitment to establishing a workable partnership with the selected vendor while maintaining compliance with healthcare sanitation standards and operational efficiency.
