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 includes technical specifications about door weather stripping requirements along the top of door assemblies and addresses a question about bid date revision. The original bid due date was December 26, 2024 at 3:00 PM, with a prebid conference held on December 9, 2024. The project is located in Gretna, VA 24551, with William L. Allen, PE serving as the A/E Project Manager and Ross Suit as the Owner's Project Manager.

The addendum specifically addresses concerns about the December 26 bid date, noting that construction firms and vendors are typically closed from December 23, 2024 through January 2, 2025. A request was made during the pre-bid meeting to change the bid date to Tuesday, January 7, 2024, to enable more competitive bids from subcontractors and suppliers. Bidders are directed to refer to the VDOT cover letter for any changes to the bid due date and bid opening date. The addendum must be acknowledged by all bidders prior to the bid due date and time or submitted with the electronic bid submission to avoid being declared non-responsive.
