NB Addendum template 26-87805.docx

This is an Addendum #1 document issued by the Indiana Department of Administration for Negotiated Bid 26-87805, which solicits proposals for dumpster, compactor, and recycling bin services across seven Indianapolis locations. The addendum modifies the original solicitation by removing Minority & Women's Business Enterprise (M/WBE) program requirements and related documentation. Specifically, the changes eliminate M/WBE language from the main bid document, remove the M/WBE Commitment Form (Attachment A), delete Section 32 from the Sample Contract (Attachment B), revise instructions in the Indiana Economic Impact Form (Attachment C) that previously referenced M/WBE submission requirements, remove M/WBE options from the Questions & Answers Template (Attachment E), and strip M/WBE language from sections 1, 2, and 5 of the Attestation Form (Attachment F). The proposal deadline is July 29, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with the question deadline of July 10, 2026 and anticipated award in August 2026. The contract term is four years from execution with one optional two-year renewal period.

The cost proposal must be submitted on an all-inclusive, F.O.B. destination basis and must remain firm for a minimum of 180 days from award. While the original solicitation included subcontracting goals of 8% Minority Business Enterprise, 11% Women Business Enterprise, and 3% Indiana Veteran Owned Small Business, these requirements have been effectively removed through this addendum. Award will be made to the lowest evaluated bidder or potentially to one or more vendors based on lowest evaluated annual estimated cost. All respondents must register with the Indiana Department of Administration Procurement Division and, if awarded, must register with the Indiana Secretary of State. Proposals must include an Executive Summary, Indiana Economic Impact Form, Cost Proposal in working Excel format, Attestation Form, and evidence of financial responsibility and disaster recovery procedures, along with optional Indiana Veteran Owned Small Business subcontractor commitment forms.
