ADDENDUM #1 TO INVITATION TO BID (IFB)

FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ATHLETIC FIELD HOUSE AT JACK WELCH STADIUM

dated June 29, 2026

Under the provisions of IFB Section II.(g), allowing for questions, clarifications and addendums to be made to the IFB, the below points of information are being posted and are to be considered Addendum #1 to the IFB and incorporated as an official part of the full IFB, effective July 10, 2026.

Clarification and Amendment to Section I.(d): Project Timeline (page 2): During the pre-bid meeting and site walk through on July 9, 2026 a question was asked if the District would consider extending the expected project completion date to a later date. The currently stated project completion date is October 30, 2026. Members of the Synthetic Turf Advisory Committee (STAC) that were present took this matter under advisement in order to provide guidance to the Director of Finance/Procurement Officer in his making of this decision. It was felt that the best interest of the District would be served without any harm to the project if the project completion date were extended and STAC members advised the Director accordingly. The project completion date will be extended to December 31, 2026.

Amendment to Section I.(d): Project Timeline (page 2): The projection completion date is being changed with October 30, 2026 being deleted and replaced with December 31, 2026.

The project architect was present and agreed to make available any such drawings upon request. Two drawings, namely a drainage and grading plan and a utilities plan, were asked about and are being provided as a new Attachment 4 to this IFB.

Amendment to Section I.(f): Project Design Documents (page 2): The current language in its entirely under Section I.(f) is being deleted and replaced with the following: The following three drawings and site plans are included as a part of this IFB, available electronically as a PDF, and hard copy upon request of the schools’ business office.
