The contract period extends through June 30, 2026, with a potential three-month extension option, and payment will be made on a lump sum per service call basis.

The addendum does not address pricing terms, set asides, or funding sources, as it functions solely as a clarification document amending the original solicitation dates. Contractors must comply with Executive Order 2021-06 Worker Protection and Investment Certification, provide evidence of insurance, and submit Domestic Workforce Utilization Certification demonstrating adherence to labor laws and workplace safety regulations. A Reciprocal Limitations Act provision provides preferences for Pennsylvania-based businesses, with potential bid adjustments for out-of-state suppliers.

Contractors must demonstrate technical capability to perform specialized traffic signal sensor installation work and provide detailed invoicing and capacity for handling multiple work areas simultaneously.
