2526-4AB Addendum 3 20260303.pdf

This is Addendum #3 to a Request for Proposal issued by Cheshire Public Schools for the fire alarm system upgrade at Cheshire High School. The addendum, dated March 3, 2026, clarifies technical requirements and design specifications established in the original RFP #2526-4AB. The mandatory site visit occurred on Monday, February 16, 2026 at 9:00 AM at Cheshire High School, 525 South Main Street, Cheshire, CT 06410, with proposals due March 6, 2026 at 2:00 PM. The addendum addresses three Request for Information (RFI) questions submitted by Beacon Electric, Inc., and answers provided by Richard Clavet, Director of Facilities Services. Key clarifications include: (1) contractors must provide interconnection to the Sonitrol communications module rather than dedicated phone lines to Demarc locations as originally noted on Drawing E-17; (2) confirmation that Cheshire Public Schools retains responsibility for coordinating with the sprinkler and elevator vendors; and (3) direction that contractors provide interconnection of proposed heat detectors within elevator machine rooms, hoistways, pits, and associated modules to activate respective shunt trip devices upon heat detector activation for each elevator, rather than replacing existing elevator shunt trip disconnects as initially specified.

This addendum represents clarifications to technical and coordination requirements related to fire detection and alarm system integration with existing building systems. No pricing information, contract award amounts, or funding details are addressed in this addendum. The document serves to resolve ambiguities in the original design drawings and specifications to ensure all bidders operate under identical technical requirements and understanding of scope boundaries regarding responsibilities between the contractor and school district.
