ADDENDUM # 1

RFP 0508 Proposal Receipt Date: December 12, 2025 3:30 p.m. cst

To Provide Automation and Industrial Control Services for the Jefferson Parish Department of Drainage

NOTIFICATION:

1. QUESTION:

Regarding RFP #0508, Section 1.8.F, the document states:

Proposer shall submit the following manufacturer certifications with their response:

a. Rockwell Automation Gold System Integrator

b. VTScada Certified Advanced Integrator

c. Siemens Solution Partner

d. Schneider Electric Alliance Partner

e. Emerson System Integrator

Could you please clarify whether the intent is for proposers to hold all five certifications?

ANSWER:

The intent is to have proposers hold all five certifications. Letter “A “changing in its entirety to read as “ Rockwell Platinum Automation System Integrator.”

2. QUESTION:

My understanding is that this would be contractually impossible, as Emerson-certified system integrators are required to maintain platform exclusivity and cannot hold certifications with competing vendors.

Would it be acceptable for us to submit a proposal supporting one or more of the listed platforms? Our team is highly experienced and certified with Siemens and Rockwell, and we are fully capable of supporting VT Scada, though we do not hold certifications with Schneider or Emerson products.

ANSWER:

Proposers have the right to submit any proposal and the evaluation committee will review all proposals and score accordingly.

Technology Affidavit is attached- please return with the RFP submission.
