1412213678 Addendum 2.pdf

This Addendum 2 document, issued by the Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA) Procurement Department, provides a clarification regarding the fabricated gate specifications for IFB Solicitation Number 1412213678 for the repair and installation of automatic gates and doors. The addendum addresses a bidder question concerning the construction material for a double-track and trolley cantilever sliding gate measuring 25 feet by 8 feet plus 1 street base. JEA clarified that while the gate frame should be constructed from galvanized metal as the preferred standard, some aluminum components currently exist at JEA facilities but do not represent the organization's standard specification. The addendum was issued on September 24, 2026, with bidders required to acknowledge receipt on the Response Form (Appendix B). The original bid due date was listed as September 22, 2026 at 12:00 PM with opening scheduled for 2:00 PM, though a revised date of September 29, 2026 is also noted in the addendum header.
