About this file
This document is Addendum No. 1 to a Request for Bids (RFB) issued by the State of Michigan for the procurement of one grand piano. The piano will be housed in a high school choir classroom with a tile floor and will be used with the lid typically closed. The primary purpose of the instrument is daily instruction and rehearsals in the choir room, with priorities centered on daily stability, projection, and performance response. The addendum clarifies that this is a single piano purchase rather than multiple instruments for different purposes.
The addendum addresses six substantive bidder inquiries regarding specifications and submission requirements. Bidders are permitted to submit both typed and handwritten entries on bid pricing forms, may use "TBD" for serial numbers if the serial number will be provided at delivery, and are allowed to include cover letters and sole source letters as part of their submissions. The responses indicate that the purchasing entity has established clear parameters regarding the piano's intended use and operational context to guide vendor recommendations and ensure appropriate specifications for the classroom environment.

“Grand Piano” RFB
Answers to Questions
1. Question: Could you clarify whether each piano is intended to serve the same role in separate spaces, or whether one will function primarily as the daily instructional/rehearsal instrument and the other as the primary performance instrument? That distinction affects whether the priority is daily stability and blend, or projection, tonal range, and performance response.
Response: We are purchasing one grand piano to be used primarily in the high school choir room for daily instruction and rehearsals, which requires daily stability, then projection, and lastly performance response.
2. Question: Could you provide more detail on the spaces where each piano will be placed? The key question is whether each instrument will be housed in a choir room, a general rehearsal/classroom space, or a performance hall, since room context directly affects model recommendation, tonal balance, placement, storage, and long-term service planning.
Response: The grand piano will be housed in the choir classroom. The classroom floor is tile. The piano would be typically used with the lid closed.
3. Question: Could you clarify whether these refer only to addenda issued after the
RFB posting, or whether there are existing addenda we should already be acknowledging?
Response: It is an addenda issued after the RFB posting.
4. Question: Are we permitted to type information onto each Bid Pricing Form, or are handwritten entries preferred?
Response: Both typed & handwritten entries are permitted.
5. Question: Our inventory is fluid; thus, we typically do not assign a serial number until an imminent delivery date. Are we permitted to use “TBD” (to be determined), or are we required to assign serial numbers from our current inventory?
Response: “TBD” can be used as long as the serial number will be provided at the time of delivery.
6. Question: Are we permitted to include a cover letter and sole source letter as addenda?
