About this file

This is an Addendum #1 to an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by Northern Virginia Community College for the relocation of the fitness center program to the first floor of the Learning Commons Building. The original IFB was dated September 24, 2026, with proposals due October 26, 2026. The addendum, issued October 14, 2026, provides pre-bid Requests for Information (RFIs) and responses to clarify project requirements. A signed acknowledgement of Addendum #1 must be submitted either prior to the bid due date and time or attached to the bid submission. The addendum includes a pre-bid conference sign-in sheet and clarifies that all questions must be submitted no less than six days prior to the bid due date.

The addendum addresses two critical project specifications: Fire Alarm system requirements and exit sign specifications. For the fire alarm system, Simplex (Johnson Controls Fire Protection) is the required vendor for Loudoun Campus, with contact information provided for both the customer care representative and the local building contact. For exit signage, the addendum specifies that winning contractors must match existing exit signs using model number Signtex CRS-NB-2-RCBA, although contractors are required to verify this information on site upon contract award. The project manager is Brandon Hughes, NCARB, LEED Green Associate, with RRMM Architects serving as the design consultant.
