Page 2 of 2 The purpose of this amendment is to cancel Request for Quote 36C25026Q0889 in its entirety.

The RFQ removes all references to VAAR limitations on subcontracting and to any exact manufacturer/model requirement, so equivalent products meeting the stated specifications are acceptable. A manufacturer authorization letter is still required if the prime contractor is not the manufacturer, and it must specifically authorize the prime contractor to sell/distribute the products—not just a subcontractor or distributor. Site visit attendance is not mandatory. No bid bond, payment bond, performance bond, prevailing wage determination, or special insurance coverage is required. Payment will be made only after delivery, installation, and acceptance (no progress payments), and all three line items must be completed within 60 days after receipt of order.

The RFQ clarifies that limitations on subcontracting and manufacturer-specific requirements have been removed, so equivalent products are acceptable. A manufacturer authorization letter is required only if the offeror is not the manufacturer; a letter naming a subcontractor as an authorized seller is not sufficient. Site visit attendance is optional, with the RSVP deadline set for Friday, August 28, 2026. The contractor must complete all three line items within 60 days after receipt of order. No bonds, prevailing wage determinations, or special insurance are required, and payment will be made only after delivery, installation, and acceptance.

The solicitation has been revised to remove all references to VAAR limitations on subcontracting and any specific manufacturer requirements, so offers for equivalent products may be considered. If the prime contractor is not the manufacturer, the required authorization letter must state that the prime contractor itself is authorized to sell/distribute the products; a letter naming only a subcontractor is not sufficient. The site visit RSVP deadline is corrected to Friday, August 28, and attendance is not mandatory. Delivery and installation must be completed 60 days after receipt of order, with payment made only after delivery, installation, and acceptance; progress payments are not authorized. No bid bonds, payment bonds, performance bonds, prevailing-wage determinations, or special insurance coverage are required.
