About this file
This document is Addendum #1 issued by the Jefferson Parish Department of Purchasing in Louisiana on October 29, 2026, clarifying terms for a sealed bid procurement to provide and install rental generators and various power equipment on an as-needed basis for the Jefferson Parish Department of General Services. The contract term is three years, with bids due November 3, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. through the Jefferson Parish E-Procurement site (Bridge Supplier Portal). A public bid opening will occur at the West Bank Purchasing Department in Gretna, Louisiana at 2:30 p.m. on the same date. Bids must be accompanied by an electronic surety bid bond through the Surety 2000 clearinghouse equal to five percent of the total bid amount; the bond number must be submitted with the bid, and scanned paper copies will not be accepted. The addendum provides clarification regarding electronic bid bond submission procedures, including instructions for Vendor ID and Contract ID entries in the clearinghouse system.
The original bid documents inadvertently included a sales tax exemption question that has been clarified as not applicable to this procurement. Jefferson Parish encourages but does not mandate participation from small businesses, minority businesses, women's business enterprises, and veteran-owned businesses. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of Addendum #1 on their bid forms by indicating the addendum number; failure to list each addendum number will result in bid rejection. Detailed specifications are available on the Jefferson Parish Purchasing Department webpage under the LaPAC Tab. Jefferson Parish reserves the right to reject all bids and to reject bids for just cause. Additional information is available from the Purchasing Department at 504-364-2678 or Purchasing@jeffparish.gov.

ADDENDUM #1
Bid Event No: 225 Bid Opening Date: November 3, 2026
Three (3) Year Contract to Provide and Install Rental Generators and Various Power Equipment on an As Needed Basis for the Jefferson Parish Department of General Services
Clarification This bid event is not sales tax-exempt. The sales tax exemption question was inadvertently included when the bid was prepared for release on BRIDGE.
Questions & Answers Question #1: Our provider uses the Surety 2000 clearinghouse for electronic bid bonds. Will this delivery method meet the Parish’s needs?
Answer: Yes, the electronic bid bond must be submitted through Surety 2000. Bidders must provide the electronic bid bond number when submitting their bids.
Question #2: We’re required to provide a Vendor ID to the clearinghouse. What Vendor ID should we use for Jefferson Parish?
Answer: The Vendor ID would be your Jefferson Parish vendor ID number. If a bidder does not yet have a vendor ID with the Parish, any number will suffice, as the Vendor ID is not used to verify the electronic bid bond.
Question #3: We’re required to provide a Contract ID to the clearinghouse. What Contract ID should we use for this solicitation?
Answer: The Contract ID for the electronic bid bond should be the Bid Event number. For example, the Contract ID for this project will be, Bid Event No. 225.
*** PLEASE REMEMBER TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ADDENDUM BY NUMBER ***
