ADDENDUM 2: Solar Photovoltaic Systems Project
Dated September 6, 2011

This addendum (hereinafter Addendum) modifies the terms of the Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Solar Photovoltaic Systems project issued Crook County, a political subdivision of the State of Oregon, and all associated documents (collectively hereinafter RFP) and is incorporated into and made a part of the RFP.

There is a discrepancy in the terms of the RFP as to the period over which the submitted proposals are to be valid. On page 8 the proposals were to remain valid for a period of at least 180 days; on page 10 the proposals were to remain valid for a period of at least 60 days.

Crook County has determined that the 60-day period is the appropriate timeframe, and will use that timeframe in evaluating submitted proposals. All proposals that use the 180 day period will be interpreted to refer to the 60-day period instead. All other terms of the RFP, including prior addenda, remain unchanged.
