Addendum 1- BID 26-OSI-007.pdf

This is Addendum #1 to BID 26-OSI-007, issued by the Oswego County Purchasing Department on June 4, 2026, modifying the Construction of Aerial and Underground Fiber Optic Cabling project in the Central Square Service Area. The addendum removes a specific underground section from the scope of work, namely the boring and conduit installation work between riser/deep pole 35 on the west side of Interstate 81 and riser/deep pole 38 on the east side of Gilmour Drive, as detailed on pages 120-122 of the Central Square construction plans. This underground work will instead be completed under an existing separate contract. However, the cable-pulling work associated with this removed section shall remain within the bid's scope and must be included in bidders' pricing. Bidders are required to account for this specification change when preparing and submitting their sealed bids, which were due June 16, 2026.

This addendum represents a material modification to the original scope of work for the approximately 20-mile fiber optic cabling project funded through New York State Empire State Development's ConnectALL program. The removal of the boring and conduit installation work reduces bidders' responsibilities for underground construction in the specified segment while maintaining their obligation to perform cable-pulling activities in that area. All bidders must acknowledge and incorporate this change into their lump-sum firm quote submissions to ensure accurate pricing and contract performance.
