From time to time, the Procurement Division may have to release written changes to a solicitation

due to an inadvertent error or omission on the part of the City or to an inquiry from an interested

vendor during the question phase of the solicitation. No changes to the published terms and

conditions, scope of work, minimum requirements, or insurance and bonding requirements will be

considered unless they are submitted in compliance with the deadline for the questions or

clarification phase of the solicitation. Any changes to the published terms and conditions, scope of

work, minimum requirements, or insurance and bonding requirements will be published in a

formal, written addendum. The City is not obligated to make any changes to the published

solicitation based on an inquiry from a vendor. The City will not consider “red-line” amendments

successful bidder in order to comply with budgetary allocations.
