About this file
This is Addendum No. 2 notification issued by the City of Asheville, North Carolina, Purchasing Department on September 15, 2026, for Informal Bid Request No. IBR 2064-27 regarding Wildland Personal Protective Equipment. The addendum establishes a new bid due date (revised from the original September 10, 2026 deadline) and corrects the lettering designation for bid item #3 to eliminate a double listing of categories F and G. Bidders are required to use the updated Addendum 2 Bid Document for submission and must sign and include the addendum with their bid package. All documents are available on the City's website at www.ashevillenc.gov/bids.
The addendum addresses three key clarifications and answers to bidder questions. First, items 1 and 2 require fitting and delivery to be included in the unit price. Second, regarding bid item #3 (helmets), the City will accept a non-leather ratchet cover material instead of the specified leather cover, as the helmet manufacturer cannot confirm the leather composition. Third, for chinstraps on bid item #3 item I, the City will accept quick-release buckles for Extra Large (XL) helmets in place of the standard postman slide closure. All changes are indicated in red in the revised bid document. Bidders with questions should contact Tawnya Vess, Purchasing Specialist, at tvess@ashevillenc.gov or 828-259-5949.
