About this file

This Addendum No. 6, issued by the City of Allentown's Purchasing Office on June 15, 2026, modifies the bidding documents for the Public Safety Headquarters construction project with a public bid opening scheduled for June 24, 2026, at 1:00 PM. The primary modification updates Section 1.11 BIDS BINDING to extend the binding period from ninety (90) calendar days to one hundred thirty-five (135) calendar days following the bid opening date, unless otherwise extended by mutual agreement of both parties. This addendum supersedes all conflicting provisions in other contract documents and requires vendors to acknowledge receipt and review by completing and returning the included acknowledgment form with their bid submission prior to the public opening.

The addendum incorporates substantial revisions to structural, architectural, mechanical, and specification sections prepared by project architects Alloy5 and construction management firm Alvin H. Butz Inc. Technical modifications include additions to structural drawing sheets S1.20, S1.21, and S5.11; clarifications to slate panel relief angles, steel anchor plates, hoist beams, and parapet coping stone supports; and revisions to architectural finishes, retaining wall demolition extents, and furniture schedules. Specification changes include new sections for architecturally exposed structural steel framing and high performance coatings, deletion and replacement of glazing specifications, and modifications to door hardware schedules specifying DoorBird A1103 indoor stations and establishing special warranty periods for various hardware components including ten-year warranties for mortise and cylindrical locks and fifteen to twenty-five year warranties for overhead door closer bodies. Vendors must acknowledge receipt of this addendum and return the signed acknowledgment form with their proposal.
