Addenda to a Solicitation Document
(1)
Issuance; Receipt. ODOT may change a Solicitation Document only by Written Addenda.(2)
Notice and Distribution. ODOT shall notify prospective Offerors of Addenda consistent with the standards of Notice set forth in OAR 731-005-0520 (Notice and Advertising Requirements; Posting)(1). The Solicitation Document shall specify how ODOT will provide notice of Addenda and how ODOT will make the Addenda available (see OAR 731-005-0470 (Solicitation Methods)(3)(a)(N)). For example, “Agency will not mail notice of Addenda, but will publish notice of any Addenda on Agency’s WEB site. Addenda may be downloaded off ODOT’s WEB site. Offerors should check ODOT’s WEB site weekly until the week of Closing and daily the week of the Closing.”(3)
Timelines; Extensions. ODOT shall issue Addenda within a reasonable time to allow prospective Offerors to consider the Addenda in preparing their Offers. ODOT should extend the Closing if ODOT determines prospective Offerors need additional time to review and respond to Addenda. Except to the extent required by public interest, ODOT shall not issue Addenda less than 48 hours before the Closing unless the Addendum also extends the Closing.(4)
Request for Change or Protest. Unless a different deadline is set forth in the Addendum, an Offeror may submit a Written request for change or protest to the Addendum as provided in OAR 731-005-0570 (Solicitation Protest; Request for Change; Request for Clarification)(2) through (5), within 24 hours following issuance of the Addendum, or up to the last day allowed to submit a request for change or protest under OAR 731-005-0570 (Solicitation Protest; Request for Change; Request for Clarification), whichever date is later. ODOT shall consider only an Offeror’s request for change or protest to the Addendum; ODOT shall not consider a request for change or protest to matters not added or modified by the Addendum.
