SOLICITATION ADDENDUM

AUSTIN FINANCIAL SERVICES – CENTRAL PROCUREMENT

Solicitation: IFB 7800 MAS1013 Addendum No: 2 Date: October 14, 2026

This addendum is to incorporate the following changes to the above-referenced solicitation:

1.0 Clarifications: Please disregard Addendum 1, which is for a different solicitation number and was uploaded to this solicitation in error. Please ensure that Addendum 2 and any subsequent addenda are signed and submitted with your offer.

2.0 Questions

Q1 Question: For the non-fire aerial devices, specifically bucket trucks and digger derricks, are the following tests/inspections required as part of the scope of work for each applicable unit?

• Ultrasonic Inspection

• Acoustic Emission (AE) Testing

• Dye Penetrant Inspection

• Magnetic Particle Inspection

• Welding Inspection

Q1 Answer: Yes, these tests are required for all non-fire aerial devices. The Scope of Work section 1.8 lists all the tests that are required, and these are included in that list.

Q2 Question: Our company currently does not provide the testing/inspection services listed above. Our bid pricing for bucket trucks and digger derricks would include dielectric testing and visual/operational inspections only. Would we be permitted to submit pricing for only the dielectric testing and visual/operational inspection portions of these units, or would a bid that does not include the testing services listed above be considered non-responsive?

Q2 Answer: The price sheet asks for one price to inspect/test each piece of equipment. That price should include all the tests required for that specific piece of equipment. Your company should bid on that line only if your company can provide all the required tests.

Q3 Question: Do I need to bid on all the lines on the price sheet for my bid to be responsive?

Q3 Answer: No, you do not need to bid on all the lines for your bid to be responsive. You may bid on the lines for which your company can supply that service. For example, if you can provide testing for fire equipment but not non-fire equipment, you can bid on Categories 2 and 3 only. If you can provide testing for non-fire but not fire, you can bid on Categories 1 and 3 only. The City's preference is to award to one vendor that can provide all the services listed, but the City reserves the right to award to multiple vendors based on individual or categories of specific line items, cost, or other criteria or combination deemed most advantageous to the City.

3.0 Pre-Offer Meeting: The Pre-Offer Meeting was held on October 5, 2026, at 10:00 AM. The attendance sheet is attached.

4.0 ALL OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS REMAIN THE SAME.
