Addendum 1.pdf

This is Addendum #1 to Request for Quotation/Request for Proposal (RFQ/RFP) 3-2526 issued by the Town of Guilford, Connecticut, for Dredging Permit Preparation for the Town Marina. The addendum clarifies key project parameters through a question-and-answer format addressing vendor inquiries. The work scope is limited to permit preparation for the Town-owned marina basin adjacent to the Sluice Creek Federal Channel, conducted in conjunction with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE), which will separately dredge the East River Federal Channel and Sluice Creek Federal Channel. The project requires two rounds of sediment testing: an initial round for chemical analysis and a secondary round for biological testing if necessary. The original solicitation opened on February 25, 2026, at 7:00 AM EST and closes on March 30, 2026, at 9:30 AM EDT, with vendor questions accepted through March 23, 2026, at 4:00 PM EDT.

The addendum addresses a critical contractual matter by clarifying that the Town's In-House Counsel has determined that the awarded vendor will be responsible for providing the proposed form of contract rather than the Town providing a standard agreement. The solicitation does not specify an estimated contract value, pricing structure, or payment terms, leaving these elements for vendor submission on a Free On Board (FOB) Destination basis. No set-asides, incumbent contractor information, or disadvantaged enterprise designations have been identified. Interested firms should direct inquiries to Darlene Minore at Guilford Town Hall, 31 Park Street, Guilford, CT 06437, at 203-453-8127 or minored@guilfordct.gov.
