About this file
This document is a Solicitation Addendum 1 for Questions and Answers related to Request for Proposal (RFP) R420-25 issued by the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT). The addendum addresses four specific questions from potential bidders regarding the Research Program Outreach & Administrative Assistance solicitation, which is scheduled to open on July 21, 2025. The document clarifies details about proposal submission, communication product expectations, and bidder response requirements. Proposals may be delivered to the Procuring Office prior to the opening date and time, and NDOT has provided sample documentation from Iowa DOT to help bidders understand the type of communication products desired.
The addendum indicates that the contract does not allow bidders to modify estimated annual usage/hours, maintaining fairness across all proposals. If additional hours are needed during the contract period, an amendment may be utilized. NDOT suggests bidders follow the outlined sections when preparing their responses and may use an outline format for submission. The agency is seeking a vendor to produce research summaries, news polls, and program fact sheets, with a focus on creating digestible content for social media and the department's research web page. The response to Question 3 specifically notes that while the communication products are not intended to include polling or surveying, they should be concise segments suitable for digital platforms.

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.
