260-B4260-058 NVCC Renovate 3rd Floor Lab - Addendum_1.pdf

This is a Project Addendum Notice issued by the Virginia Community College System for Northern Virginia Community College's third-floor laboratory renovation project at the Annandale Campus, CM McDiarmid Building (Project Code 260-B4260-058). The addendum, dated September 1, 2026, clarifies contractor licensing requirements and modifies the contract documents for this renovation initiative. The project scope encompasses the reconfiguration of rooms CM311 and CM365 into a new classroom laboratory, including selective demolition of the partition wall separating the two spaces, removal and replacement of affected floor finishes and ceiling grids, patching and painting of wall areas, installation of new floor and wall-mounted power outlets, and provision of new electrical distribution assemblies (EDA) to existing fire-rated doors.

The addendum addresses a contractor licensing qualification question, clarifying that a valid Virginia Class A Contractor License is required to participate in the bid opportunity and that Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) and Residential Building Contractor (RBC) classifications alone are insufficient for the primary scope of work. All bidders must acknowledge receipt of this addendum on their bid form and include its provisions in their proposals. The addendum contains no attachments and represents modifications and clarifications to the existing contract documents that become binding components of the bid requirements.
