RFQ 429531 ADDENDUM 1.pdf

This addendum to RFQ 429531 from the City of Oakland, California, clarifies key requirements for the commercial-grade kitchen equipment procurement supporting the Public Works Environmental Services Division's retrofit of two community centers. The project requires delivery of equipment within 4-5 weeks of purchase order receipt. The RFQ specifies that equivalent makes and models are not acceptable, and proposals must include detailed equipment specifications, warranty information, lead times, and delivery charges. Contractors must provide haul-away and disposal of existing equipment as a line item option, and the City intends to award purchase orders to multiple qualified vendors based on lowest bid and proposal compliance.

The addendum addresses two critical delivery logistics: CaptiveAire drawings have been made available as supplementary documents to support bidders' specifications, and neither delivery location has a loading dock, requiring all contractors to include offload services as a separate line item in their quotations. This one-time purchase is not subject to renewal terms, and no installation services are required, though the City may require contractors to dispose of existing equipment. Bidders must submit comprehensive proposals including all specified details to be considered for award.
