This Addendum No. 1 document, issued by the San Diego County Department of Purchasing and Contracting on July 23, 2026, modifies the original RFQ 13209 for a 2026 or newer/unused Ford Transit T-350 ADA wheelchair cargo van for the Sheriff's Office. The addendum clarifies key vehicle specifications and passenger capacity requirements, specifying that the van must accommodate two wheelchair passengers and two ambulatory passengers. The document removes the requirement for a "removable" L-Track system, as the L-Track will be a fixed component. Additionally, the addendum clarifies that two folding seats positioned on the left-hand side behind the B-pillar are fixed seats designed to flip and fold rather than being moveable. A floorplan configuration image is referenced to guide vendors in quoting the exact specifications needed. The original RFQ 13209 had a questions submission deadline of July 22, 2026 at 5:00 PM and a quotation due date of July 28, 2026 at 5:00 PM, with delivery required by August 1, 2026.
