Bid Reception Clarification: The bid reception date has been changed to 12:00 p.m. (noon) April 29, 2020. Bidders will not be allowed to drop-off their bids at City Hall. Common carriers such as USPS, UPS, FEDEX, etc., must be used. The public, including courier services, will not be allowed into City Hall. Common carrier service (USPS, UPS, and FEDEX) to City Hall is continuing; therefore bids must be submitted through these services. The bid date and time deadline will be strictly enforced, therefore you should give sufficient time for delivery of bid envelopes via these services.

Please note the following statement by the City of Memphis Purchasing office:

City Hall has been temporarily closed to the public. As such, to allow time for vendors to submit their bids via common carrier (USPS, UPS, FEDEX, etc), RFQ 3574 due date has been extended to April 29, 2020 at noon.

Therefore, all contractors intending to submit a bid shall obtain one (1) complete set of documents from the consultant in order for his bid to be accepted. This will also place the Contractor on the mailing list for possible addenda issuance.
