About this file
This document is a Solicitation Addendum 1 for Questions and Answers related to Request for Proposal (RFP) R420-25 by the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT), addressing a Research Program Outreach and Administrative Assistance contract. The addendum provides responses to four specific questions from potential bidders, clarifying details about proposal submission, estimated hours, communication products, and response expectations. The solicitation is set to open on July 21, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time, with proposals being accepted prior to that date and time. The document indicates that bidders cannot modify the estimated annual usage/hours, but potential amendments may be considered if additional hours are needed during the contract period.
The addendum offers supplemental guidance by providing example documentation from the Iowa DOT for communication products and clarifying that the news poll does not require polling or surveying, but rather seeks a concise, digestible content segment for social media or the NDOT research web page. The state suggests bidders can respond to technical sections in outline form and has linked external resources to help bidders understand the communication product expectations. While specific pricing details are not elaborated in this addendum, the document is part of a broader solicitation process that aims to select a vendor for comprehensive research communication and administrative services, with potential for a one-year initial contract and four additional renewal years.

This addendum will be incorporated into the solicitation.
appear to include a polling/surveying/s ampling component as described.
We agree that there would not be a polling/survey/sampling requirement for the news poll. We were thinking more along the lines of a small digestible segment that could be used on social media or highlighted on NDOT’s public facing research web page.
4. VI.A.2. 22 Can Nebraska DOT provide additional guidance on its expectations for each subsection in this portion of the solicitation response? These are sometimes clarified in an “Attachment A - Bidder Response Requirements Matrix” for other State of Nebraska RFPs.
Please follow the outlined sections to provide responses. You may answer in outline form if that’s easier for your bid submission.
