1 PURPOSE OF ADDENDUM

This Addendum provides written responses to bidder questions received by the City for the Newport WWTP Centrifuge Replacement Project Invitation to Bid. These questions were submitted during the open bidding period and are being issued by addendum so that all plan holders receive the same information.

This Addendum does not modify the project drawings, specifications, bid items, or scope of work. Except for the clarifications included in the Question-and-Answer section below, all provisions of the original Invitation to Bid and Addendum No. 1 remain in full force and effect.

2. BIDDER QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Question 1:

“Confirm that the bid date and time listed above are unchanged.”

Response:

The bid date and time remain unchanged. Bids are due November 26, 2025 at 2:00 PM Pacific Time, and will be publicly opened and read aloud immediately following the closing time at the City of Newport Engineering Department.

Question 2:

“Construction cost estimate or a construction cost range for the project.”

Response:

For this project, the City does not have a first-principles engineer’s cost estimate. As a result, we are not providing a construction cost estimate or cost range. Bidders should rely on the Invitation to Bid, drawings, specifications, and site conditions when preparing their bids.

Question 3:

“Planholders list/bidders list and/or Non-Mandatory pre-bid attendance list.”

Response:

The City does not publish plan holder lists or non-mandatory site-visit attendee lists during the active bidding window. All necessary information is provided in the solicitation documents and addenda.

Question 4:

“Have you issued an additional addendum after Addendum No. 1? If so, please attach them to this response.”

Response:

No additional addenda have been issued beyond Addendum No. 1. The City will issue an Addendum No. 2(this addendum), which will include this Q&A to date.

Question 5:

“When is the best time to follow up for bid results?”

Response:

Because the bid opening occurs near a major holiday period, the City anticipates up to a few days of administrative processing prior to issuance of the Notice of Intent to Award (NITA). A good time for bidders to follow up on bid results is approximately seven (7) calendar days after bid opening. Bid results will also be read aloud immediately at the public bid opening.

Question 6:

“Does the City have a bid bond form, or should we use our surety’s standard form?”

Response:

The City does not have a separate bid bond form for this project. Bidders may use their surety’s standard bid bond form, provided it meets the requirements of the Invitation to Bid and ORS 279C.
