About this file
This document is Addendum No. 1 for the Pump Station 43 Improvements Invitation for Bid (IFB 092-25-RM) issued by the local government of Tallahassee, Florida, dated July 30, 2025. The addendum modifies the original bid specifications for a comprehensive infrastructure project involving the removal and replacement of a forcemain, installation of approximately 675 linear feet of 18-inch ductile iron pipe (DIP) force main, surge tank, kingpin manhole, and bypass pumping components. The bid opening remains scheduled for Thursday, August 14, 2025, at 2:30 P.M., with key modifications including reducing the contract time from 210 to 130 days and revising technical specifications related to pipe connections, fittings, and bypass line configurations.
The addendum addresses several technical clarifications, including pipe size discrepancies (transitioning between 3" and 4" DIP), modifications to connection details, and resolving manufacturing availability issues with specific pipe fittings. A revised Schedule of Bid Items has been uploaded to the Bonfire procurement platform, removing a previous note about project award and updating technical descriptions. The project requires comprehensive infrastructure work, including surface restoration, asphalt patching, traffic maintenance, and arboricultural mitigation, with the contractor expected to perform services in a first-class, workmanlike manner. The mandatory pre-bid meeting was previously held on July 23, 2025, via Microsoft Teams, indicating a structured procurement process with clear communication channels for potential bidders.

NOTICE TO BIDDERS ADDENDUM NO. 1
PUMP STATION 43 IMPROVEMENTS
IFB 092-25-RM
Please be advised of Addendum No. 1 to the above referenced Bid Solicitation as follows:
1. This addendum forms a part of the proposal documents and modifies the original specifications and proposal documents, dated DATE as noted below.
2. Respondent must acknowledge this addendum by accepting the addendum in Bonfire.
This addendum consists of 3 items
ITEM NO. 1:
In Section 1.8.5.3 Liquidated Damages, it states “contract time of 210 Days”. This should read “contract time of 130 Days”, which would correctly match the Proposal language.
ITEM NO. 2:
Question: The fittings manufactures do not make long radius Mechanical Joint 90 degree bends. Can a standard radius MJ 90 be used in place below grade? Above grade can a standard radius 18x10 flanged reducing 90 be used in place of the long radius 18x10 flanged reducing 90 called out on the plans?
Answer: Modifications have been made to the Bypass Connection Detail to remove non-manufactured bends and fittings. The items below detail how and where that change was made.
Question: The bid schedule is calling for 4” DIP, and the plans are calling for 3” DIP. What size is needed and is there a spec for the called-out ball valve?
Answer: A 3” connection is required at the surge tanks, so the Item No. and Item Description both reference 3” DIP. However, due to the lack of availability of 3” valves, fittings, and pipe, a 3”-to-4” transition is proposed just outside the tank, so all other downstream components are 4”. The items below detail how and where that change was made.
A revised Schedule of Bid Items (Item 14-7a.) has been added to Bonfire. The following changes were made to the spreadsheet:
· A note has been removed from the bottom of the sheet that stated, “Bid will be awarded to contractor with the lowest total bid for both projects”.
· The Description of Item for Item YP-3-DIP has been changed to “3” DIP Pipe Connection” for continuity and Note 6) has been added clarifying the nomenclature.
· The date on the sheet has been updated.
Please use this spreadsheet when submitting your bids.
ITEM NO. 3:
The Bypass Connection Detail, on Sheet 18 of the provided plan set, has been revised to show a 12” bypass line and fittings, along with a revised connection configuration. This revision was made because of a question regarding the availability of the fittings specified in the original plans. As a result of this revision, Pay Item Note YP-18-DIP, on Sheet 4 of the provided plan set, has been revised as well. Revised plan sheets 4, 16, 17, and 18 (Item 13-6a.) have been added to Bonfire. Please substitute these for Sheets 4, 16, 17, and 18 in the provided plan set.
BID OPENING HAS NOT CHANGED AND IS THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 2025, AT 2:30 P.M.
