Addendum 1.pdf

This Addendum 1 document clarifies key questions regarding the City of Havelock, North Carolina's 2026 Sewer Line Repair project at 801 Manteo Circle. The project scope encompasses the replacement of two 60-foot sections of sewer line (one 8-inch VCP and one 6-inch Ductile Iron Sewer Pipe), 60 lineal feet of combined curb and gutter, and 100 square feet of sidewalk, along with associated site restoration including excavation to approximately 7 feet depth and asphalt restoration of approximately 38 square yards. Bids are due by 11:00 AM EST on April 15, 2026, with written questions required by 5:00 PM EST on March 27, 2026, and City responses provided by 5:00 PM EST on April 7, 2026. The performance period is 30 calendar days from issuance of the Notice to Proceed, with work hours limited to 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday. A one-year warranty is required on all materials and workmanship.

The addendum addresses three critical inquiries: no union labor requirements apply to this project, no estimated budget or cost range has been disclosed by the City, and the project is anticipated to be awarded shortly after bid opening with timelines to follow standard notice to proceed and performance period protocols. Liquidated damages of $300 per day are assessed for work extending beyond the 30-day performance period. Contractors must provide proof of current North Carolina general contractor's license, E-Verify compliance, Iran Divestment Act and Companies Boycotting Israel Act compliance verification, and out-of-state entities must obtain a Certificate of Authority to Transact Business in North Carolina. Bids must remain valid for 75 days after opening, and the City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals.
