About this file
This is an Addendum No. 1 issued by St. Tammany Parish Government's Procurement Department in Louisiana regarding Quote No. 26-17-1 for the Tammany Trace Solar Pedestrian Activation System. The project involves the removal of existing solar pedestrian crossing systems and installation of new LightGuard Systems or approved equivalents at seven intersections along the Tammany Trace: Dove Park Road, Sharp Road, Lonesome Road, Hoffman Road, Robert Road (Mandeville area), Lake Road (Lacombe), and Thompson Road (Slidell). Each location requires a LightGuard Systems XL Controller 4 RAD Automatic Pedestrian Activation system with two rectangular rapid flashing beacons and two LED-illuminated pedestrian warning signs per crossing, designed to support a minimum of 1,100 daily activations with 16-second flash duration. Sealed quotes are due Wednesday, June 10, 2026, with a required site visit. The scope is presented as lump sum bid items requiring contractors to provide all labor, materials, equipment, demolition, and installation necessary for complete project delivery. An Intersection Map has been provided as an attachment to clarify the specific locations.
The addendum addresses eight clarification questions from bidders regarding project specifications and scope. Key determinations include: boring under the bike path to route wiring for hardwired connections is included in the LightGuard Systems installation cost; St. Tammany Parish Government will be responsible for installing all concrete pole foundations for both existing pole replacements and new support poles for remote activation detectors; no formal plans are available, and contractors must perform field verification to determine quantities and installation requirements; the 1,100 daily activation specification is based on anticipated visitor volume and manufacturer recommendations for system reliability; and the specifications provided in cut sheets represent the complete bidding information. Louisiana Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction licensure is mandatory, with performance bonds required for projects costing $25,000 or more. Pricing must be firm for the contract term, and a three-year manufacturer warranty is required from the acceptance date.

Please find the following addendum to the below-mentioned QUOTE.
Addendum No.: 1
Quote#: 26-17-1
Project Name: Tammany Trace Solar Pedestrian Activation System
Quote Due Date: Wednesday, June 10, 2026
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:
Question 1. While street names have been provided, no cross streets or exact coordinates are included. This information is necessary to ensure all bidders are reviewing the same site conditions and can provide consistent and accurate pricing.
Answer 1. An Intersection Map has been provided.
Question 2. The specified model includes a control panel, which requires a separate concrete pad to house the batteries. Additionally, the Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons
(RRFBs) require a hardwired connection to the control panel. This would necessitate boring under the existing bike path to route the wiring.
Please confirm whether this work is to be included in the unit cost or if a separate pay item will be provided for boring under the bike path.
Answer 2. Yes, this work is to be included under Ref. No. 3 – Installation of LightGuard
Systems or equal.
Question 3. The specifications call for 1,100 daily activations with a 16-second flash duration.
After consulting with Lifeguard, concerns were raised regarding battery lifespan under this level of usage. Typical activation rates for similar systems range from
600 to 800 per day.
Could you please provide clarification on the basis for the 1,100 daily activation requirement?
Answer 3. The activation specifications are provided in the quote document. Based on our experience with the volume of visitors on the Tammany Trace, we want to ensure http://www.stpgov.org/

Version 2026.1 the system is adequately sized to handle peak usage. During discussions with
Lightguard, they also recommended the larger unit to provide sufficient capacity and reliability for anticipated demand. Therefore, we elected to proceed with the larger unit and the activation requirements.
Question 4. Is there a set of plans for this that shows quantities for this job all I can find is cut sheets
Answer 4. There are no plans available for this project. The information provided consists of the specifications and manufacturer cut sheets. Contractors should review the project requirements and perform any field verification necessary to determine quantities and installation requirements needed to complete the job.
Question 5. There are six (6) intersections referenced in bid documents buy the bid form is only asking for 1 each equipment price, 1 each Demolition of existing and 1 each installation. Are we t quote the six (6) intersections as One System complete or is it the intent to select which intersections get worked on?
Answer 5. The bid items are not listed as “Each.” The reference items are listed as “Lump
Sum” with the intent for the contractor to provide all labor, materials, equipment, demolition, and installation necessary to complete the work as specified.
Question 6. There are three (3) sites that presently do not have Flashing Beacons, the specified manufacturer does not furnish poles with their equipment. Does the Parish have a pole specification so required poles can be included in RFQ?
Answer 6. St. Tammany Parish Government will be installing the concrete pole foundation.
Question 7. Location like Lake Rd in Lacomb do not currently have any existing flashing solar system. This is the same at other locations. What scope is required at these locations such as concrete pole foundation with all new assembly?
Pole foundation detail will be required for these locations?
Answer 7. St. Tammany Parish Government will be installing the concrete pole foundation.
Question 8. Upon further investigation as to the required installation of devices specified and as noted below from specified manufacturer there is additional items required to make the system fully functional; i.e., additional support poles for Remote
Activation detectors, a total of 28 each including associated conduit, wiring and trace crossing. Along with my previous requests for clarification on missing Poles, total of 6, to mount equipment not furnished by specified supplier. We believe that the present specifications are incomplete and put bidding contractors t a disadvantage in knowing all items required and also for those without complete
