This is an Addendum No. 1 to a Request for Proposals issued by the Red Clay Consolidated School District in Delaware for plumbing materials and equipment. The RFP seeks an as-needed supply contract for comprehensive plumbing components including valves, fittings, pipe, fixtures, trim, and specialty parts from manufacturers such as American Standard, Delta, Kohler, Moen, Sloan, Viega, Watts, and Zurn. The contract will serve maintenance and repair operations across multiple District facilities. Proposals are due electronically to bids@dataservice.org by February 10, 2026 at 2:00 PM, with RFP opening occurring at that same date and time. The initial contract term is one year beginning March 1, 2026, with options to extend for up to three additional one-year periods through mutual written agreement, subject to satisfactory performance and fund availability. This Addendum clarifies that the bill-to address is 1798 Limestone Road, Wilmington, Delaware 19804, and shipping will occur to individual school sites rather than a central location, with a complete list of schools and shipping addresses available on the District's website.

Pricing must be submitted as either a fixed percentage discount off manufacturer or published catalog list prices or as a single fixed multiplier, with all pricing firm for the contract year. All deliveries must be made with reasonable promptness at no additional surcharges for fuel, handling, or processing. Proposal evaluation will be weighted 50% on cost and discount structure, 25% on experience with Delaware government and K-12 facilities, and 25% on capacity to deliver and support District needs. The District intends to award to a single supplier for administrative ease but reserves the right to award to multiple vendors, split awards by product category, or reject all proposals as deemed in its best interest. All contractors must secure general liability and professional liability insurance in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and provide a Certificate of Insurance prior to beginning work. Bid deposits and performance bonds are waived for this procurement. The contract may be terminated by the District at any time with thirty days' written notice and no early termination charges.
