159187 Gretna AHQ Addendum 3 12.18_v2.pdf

This is Addendum No. 3 issued by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) for IFB 159187, regarding the Gretna Area Headquarters Combo Building project (Project Code: 501-18130-078). The addendum pertains to a contract opportunity that involves construction of a combo building, with bids due December 26, 2024 at 3:00 PM. A prebid conference was held on December 9, 2024. The addendum includes two main items: a technical specification regarding door weather stripping along the top of door sealing (Head Detail H3 on Drawing A8), and a question about bid date revision.

The question raised concerns about the December 26 bid date not being in the best interest of VDOT, noting that construction firms and vendors are typically closed from December 23, 2024 through January 2, 2025. A suggested bid date of Tuesday, January 7, 2024 was proposed to enable more competitive bids from subcontractors and suppliers. The response directs bidders to refer to the VDOT cover letter for any changes in bid due date and bid opening date. The addendum must be acknowledged prior to the bid due date or submitted with the electronic bid to avoid being declared non-responsive.
