About this file
This Addendum No. 1 is issued by the City University of New York (CUNY) for Contract #UCO-973, a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Vending Machine Operations. The addendum clarifies several key points about the RFP, including that there is no mandatory pre-proposal meeting, but proposers who wish to conduct self-guided tours must email SHDBids@cuny.edu in advance. Proposals are to be submitted electronically via email, with both an E-Copy and flash drives required. The contract allows for potential renewal, specifically an additional 3-year term followed by an additional 2-year period.
The addendum provides important clarifications on several technical aspects of the RFP. A $3 Million performance bond is required, despite an earlier mention of a $1M bond. CUNY recommends vendors review NYC Food Standards for Vending Machines regarding healthier product selections, with an expectation of a one-to-one ratio of healthier to standard products. Critically, the use of subcontractors will not be allowed for this vending program. Vendors must complete a reference form as part of their proposal, and the addendum notes that the reference form will be attached separately. The document emphasizes that all addenda must be properly signed and included with the proposal, and CUNY reserves the right to reject proposals that do not comply with these requirements.
