About this file
This document is a Solicitation Addendum for a Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) Request for Proposal (RFP) Number R420-25 for Research Program Outreach & Administrative Assistance, with an opening date of July 21, 2025, and an addendum effective date of July 7, 2025. The document contains four questions and answers related to the solicitation, addressing bidder inquiries about estimated annual usage hours, proposal delivery timing, communication product expectations, and response guidance. The State provides clarifications, including that estimated hours cannot be modified by bidders, proposals may be delivered before the stated date/time, and sample communication products from Iowa DOT are referenced to illustrate the desired format.
The addendum does not specify detailed pricing terms or funding sources, but indicates that any additional hours needed during the contract would require an amendment. The document suggests the bidders should follow the outlined sections when preparing their responses and may use an outline format for their submission. The communication products discussed are intended to be small, digestible segments suitable for social media or NDOT's public-facing research web page, with an emphasis on concise, informative content rather than extensive polling or surveying.

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.
