About this file
This is an addendum to contract documents issued by the Town of Burlington, Massachusetts Department of Public Works for Contract 27C-411-29, the 2026 Water Service Replacement project. The addendum addresses prospective bidder questions regarding water main tap procedures and incorporates significant modifications to the original contract timeline and bid form. The bid opening date has been postponed from August 6, 2026 to August 13, 2026 at 9:30 a.m., with sealed bids to be received at the Town Hall Annex, 25 Center Street, Burlington, Massachusetts 01803. The work commencement deadline has correspondingly shifted from September 7, 2026 to September 14, 2026. A new line item—Item 6: ¾" x 1" Direct Tap Corporation Adapter for eight units—has been added to the bid form, resulting in a renumbering of subsequent items. The project scope encompasses installation of water service replacements on four residential streets, with bidders required to have a minimum of five years' experience and five satisfactorily completed similar projects.
The addendum establishes that all work must be completed in accordance with Appendix D (Residential Water Services Standard Operating Procedures), newly incorporated into the contract documents. Contractors are required to coordinate water main shutdowns with the Engineer, as specified in subsections E and F of Item 3. The bid form now includes 14 line items covering copper tubing, curb boxes, corporation taps, unions, direct tap corporation adapters, and site restoration materials such as loam, hydroseed, bituminous patch, gravel, sand, and excavation services. Prevailing wage compliance is required under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 149, Sections 26-27G, with rates effective through March 4, 2030. Bidders must submit a 5 percent bid bond, and the successful bidder must provide 100 percent Payment and Performance bonds. Work must be completed by November 13, 2026, with liquidated damages assessed at $1,000 per calendar day for delays beyond the completion deadline.
