This is Addendum #1 to Bid #2027-02 issued by the Town of Stratford, Connecticut on August 6, 2026, for the Stratford Arboretum Project located at Ketcham Road and Philo Street. The addendum addresses two requests for information submitted during the vendor question-and-answer period, which closes on August 14, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. EDT, with bids due on August 25, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. EDT. The first clarification concerns bid form item #38, which requests a lump sum cost for installation of a bus shelter. The Town has clarified that the prefabricated bus shelter will be purchased by the Town of Stratford and installed by the Contractor. The shelter is specified as a 5' x 12' Slimline Series Aluminum Structure manufactured by Brasco International, featuring a reverse barrel roof with white acrylic glazing, clear anodized aluminum finish, four-sided design with full rear and side walls, front-centered windscreen with two ADA openings, and 1/4" clear tempered safety glass wall panels. The manufacturer has indicated a 30-week lead-time from order approval. The second clarification addresses catch basin sump depths, confirming that all catch basins shall use 2-foot sumps rather than the standard 4-foot sumps for single catch basins and 2-foot sumps for double catch basins.

The addendum contains no information regarding pricing terms, set-asides, contract value, contract term, or renewal options. All requests for information must be submitted in writing to Phillip Ryan, Purchasing Agent, at pryan@townofstratford.com, and verbal communication is not accepted. Hard copy bid submission is required; electronic bid submission is prohibited.
