RFP2615_Pest_Control_Services__Addendum_1.pdf

This Addendum #1 modifies the original Request for Proposals for Pest Control Services issued by the Canaveral Port Authority in Florida. The addendum revises all critical solicitation deadlines and dates: the question deadline is now October 1, 2026 at 5:00 PM; responses to the RFP are due October 6, 2026 at 2:00 PM; the Selection Committee will review and rank written proposals on October 15, 2026 at 2:00 PM; and the Canaveral Port Authority Board of Commissioners will approve the final ranking on October 28, 2026. The non-mandatory pre-bid site visit remains scheduled for August 26, 2026. The addendum supersedes the original bidding documents' solicitation schedule and requires bidders to acknowledge receipt of this addendum on their bid form by addendum number and date, with failure to do so potentially resulting in bidder disqualification. The contract term commences October 1, 2026 and extends through September 30, 2028, with three optional one-year renewal periods available at no increase in base bid rates for the first two years.
