This is Addendum No. 2 to the bidding documents for the Wissahickon Valley Public Library's Blue Bell Branch Library Renovation project in Pennsylvania, issued on September 10, 2026. The addendum modifies the original contract documents dated August 21, 2026 and becomes part of the binding contract documents. The renovation project involves general construction work including demolition and reconstruction of interior partitions and finishes, construction of a new entrance feature, and selected additions of doors and windows. Sealed proposals are due by 10:00 A.M. on Thursday, September 15, 2026, submitted through PennBid. The deadline for submitting written technical and scope-related questions to PennBid is end of business Friday, September 11, 2026. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of all addenda on their proposal forms, and failure to do so may result in disqualification. Electronic copies of drawings and specifications were made available beginning August 25, 2026.

Addendum No. 2 specifically modifies drawing S-102 by requiring the substitution of squeeze lintels with steel and non-bearing lintels, and requires that drawing S-500 include a detail for the steel lintel. All bidders are required to carefully review these changes and account for any impacts to their work and pricing. Bid security, performance bonds, and labor and materials bonds at 100 percent are required, along with a maintenance bond at 25 percent. The contract will be awarded as a single prime contract for general construction, and all proposals must comply with the specifications and requirements outlined in the instruction to bidders and associated contract documents.
