This is an Addendum 01 issued by Henderson County Public Schools in North Carolina for IFB 2026-10, a rebid for construction of a multi-use trail and site improvements at Mills River Elementary School. The project scope includes installation of a 5-foot-wide ADA-compliant granite fines multi-purpose trail spanning 1,432 linear feet, cast-in-place concrete sidewalks and steps with handrails, segmental block retaining walls, site grading and fill placement, turf seeding, tree installation (15 trees), drainage structures, sixteen bench units, silt fencing, and tree protection fencing. The mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on June 8, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., with bids due June 22, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EST. The contract will not be awarded until the Henderson County Board of Public Education meeting on August 10, 2026, as contracts exceeding $90,000 require formal board approval. Henderson County Public Schools prefers substantial completion by October 30, 2026, with weather-related delays to be added to this date. All substitutions require prior approval, and updated AutoCAD project files and plan sets, including a Phasing Exhibit sheet, are available from the project contact.

The addendum clarifies that weather-related delays will be accommodated beyond the preferred October 30, 2026 completion date. Bidders unable to meet the preferred schedule must submit alternative completion dates with supporting details. Performance and Payment Bonds equal to 100 percent of contract value are required for projects exceeding $300,000, and a 5 percent bid security is required for bids equaling or exceeding $500,000. Payment terms are Net 30 days after receipt of correct invoice or acceptance of goods, whichever is later. All materials must be new and current, and a one-year warranty on labor and workmanship from project completion is required. Henderson County Public Schools reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive informalities, adjust quantities at unit price, and award on a split order or lump sum basis. Award will be made to the lowest responsible, responsive bidder.
