About this file
This is an Amendment #1 to an Invitation to Bid (ITB) #32918-NV13622 issued by the Tennessee Department of Correction for NV BCCX Generators maintenance services. The amendment addresses several key questions and clarifications regarding the original bid solicitation, including corrections to quarterly service calculations, confirmation that only 3 minor services per year are required, and guidance on bidding for 9 total Caterpillar units (8 CAT's LC7 at Site #1 and 1 SR-4 at Site #2). The document specifically notes that the 9th unit is a 1500 kW generator, which is twice the size of the other 8 units, and provides instructions for bidders to submit a combined total cost for all 9 units while using Attachment D to provide a cost breakdown for each model.
The amendment provides technical clarifications, such as confirming that the KD unit should have an oil change only every other year according to the manufacturer's schedule, which includes full synthetic oil and requires changing belts, filters, and crankcase ventilation filters biennially. The document emphasizes that any restatement of ITB text in the Questions/Comments should not be construed as a change in the actual wording of the ITB document. The revisions are effective upon release, and all other terms and conditions of the ITB not expressly amended shall remain in full force and effect. Bidders are instructed to note that any sentences or paragraphs containing revised or new text will be highlighted in the updated specifications.

DEPARTMENT OF TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION
INVITATION TO BID # 32918-NV13622
AMENDMENT #1
FOR NV BCCX GENERATORS
DATE: May 30, 2025
ITB # 32918-NV13622 IS AMENDED AS FOLLOWS:
1. State responses to questions and comments below amend and clarify this ITB.
Any restatement of ITB text in the Question/Comments shall NOT be construed as a change in the actual wording of the ITB document.

QUESTION / COMMENT STATE RESPONSE
1. Quarterly Services - The calculations are showing a quarterly UOM, which would be 4 minor services per year, but there should only be 3 (minors are only done 3x a year – not 4) So, the calculations are off. How should we bid this line?
Also, the calculation on the amount seems to be off by a couple of decimal points when calculating total cost of a line.
The quarterly services are 3 minors. The Annual Services heading has in parenthesis (this will serve as the fall quarterly inspection.) See updated Specifications.
1. On line item 15 – the 9th unit is a 1500 kw which is twice as big as the other 8.
Can the 9th unit be separated as its own line item and bid separately? or does it need to be added in with the other 8 and averaged out? (The coolant capacity on the 9th unit is 4x as much as the other 8)
Please provide bid price for the combined total cost of this service for all 9 units.
Please use attachment D to provide the cost breakdown for each model.
2. On line 12: The KD unit should only have an oil change every other year, not every year.
That is Kohler’s manufacturer schedule.
That unit requires full synthetic oil and should have belts, filters, and crank case ventilation filter changed every other year.
See updated Specifications and attachment A, B, and C.
3. “On line #15 Site#1 EIGHT CAT’S LC7 Site#2 ONE SR-4 Am I only to bid the additional maintenance cost to do these 9 units?
The changing of parts, filters, etc… Just making sure”
Yes, this will only be on the 9 total Caterpillar units. See response to question 2 for additional details.
2. Revisions of the original ITB Specification document are emphasized within the new release. Any sentence or paragraph containing revised or new text is highlighted.

4. ITB Amendment Effective Date. The revisions set forth herein shall be effective upon release.
