RFQ 429531 ADDENDUM 1.pdf

This is Addendum 1 to Request for Quotation (RFQ) 429531 issued by the City of Oakland, California, for the procurement of commercial-grade kitchen equipment to retrofit two community centers under the Public Works Environmental Services Division. The City seeks a one-time equipment purchase with no specific time terms or renewal options. The contractor must deliver all equipment within 4–5 weeks of purchase order receipt. No installation services are required; however, the City may request that contractors haul away and properly dispose of existing equipment. The RFQ specifies exact equipment models with no equivalent substitutes accepted, and proposals must include detailed equipment specifications, warranty information, lead times, and delivery charges as separate line items.

The addendum addresses two critical questions from potential bidders: CaptiveAire equipment drawings are available as attached documents, and neither delivery location has a loading dock, requiring all bidders to include offload services as a separate line item in their quotations. The City intends to award purchase orders to multiple qualified vendors based on lowest bid, provided proposals meet all specified requirements. Bidders must include haul-away and disposal of existing equipment as an optional service in their proposals. All submissions must strictly follow the instructions contained in the complete RFQ bid packet documentation to avoid disqualification.
