ADDENDUM No. 2

Community Engagement Services for

Multipurpose Brownfield Grant

(Annual Contract) REVISED

RFP No. 27-0002

Use the form provided in the solicitation to acknowledge receipt of this addendum.

Failure to do so may result in your submittal being deemed non-responsive and not

receiving further consideration for award.

Vendors are informed that the above subject solicitation is hereby modified, corrected, or

supplemented as specified, described and set forth in this Addendum:

I. QUESTIONS/RESPONSES

1. Addendum 1 indicates that approximately $5,000 is allocated community engagement

services. Does this include planning and execution of all the engagements for the duration

of the contract?

Response: At this time, yes. When the City created its original budget with EPA, $5,000

was the amount allocated to making updates to the community involvement plan, as

well as holding community meetings and visioning sessions, with the understanding

that city staff would also contribute heavily to these efforts.

2. If $5,000 is the amount currently allocated through the EPA grant budget, is additional

funding potentially available through a grant budget or other City resources?

Response: The City will consider pursuing additional funds based on the lowest and

best bid.

II. DEMANDSTAR ELECTRONIC BID SUBMISSION PLATFORM UPDATED

DemandStar, the City’s electronic bid submission platform, has updated their portal to OpenBids.

Please refer to the attached instructions for information on how to register if you have not already

done so. If you previously had a DemandStar account, your existing login credentials should

continue to work with OpenBids.
