About this file
This is Addendum No. 2 to the Invitation for Bid (IFB) 26-013-DN issued by the City of Leesburg, Florida for the construction of a Commercial Hangar Building at Leesburg International Airport. The addendum clarifies project specifications and responds to 30 requests for information submitted by interested bidders prior to the April 7, 2026 RFI deadline. Key clarifications include confirmation that hydraulic hangar doors shall be 55 feet wide by 15 feet high with a single-sloped roof design, electrical service specifications requiring a 1,200-amp main capacity with individual 200-amp metered services for four tenant spaces plus a house panel, aircraft grounding terminals using Nvent Erico Catalog #B165R with #2 AWG solid copper counterpoise conductors, and LED lighting fixtures controlled by astronomical time clocks with occupancy sensors. The addendum reduces the SP-03 sanitary sewer allowance from $50,000 to $5,000, clarifies that the SP-01 potable water allowance of $20,000 covers City or AHJ assistance costs only, and specifies that permit and impact fees shall be paid by the contractor and reimbursed by the Owner. The pre-bid conference was held March 30, 2026, with final addenda issued by April 10, 2026, sealed bids due April 23, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. via OpenGov e-procurement portal, and bid opening conducted as a live video conference with tabulation posted within 48 hours.
The addendum confirms that contractors must be licensed and certified in Florida, acknowledges that neither the engineer's estimate nor project budget will be disclosed to ensure fair competition, and clarifies that permitting occurs through the City of Leesburg with State of Florida signed and sealed documents required for building permits. Debarment certification is confirmed as completed through bid submission signature rather than a separate form. All electrical work must comply with the National Electrical Code, with aluminum conductors acceptable for main panel feeders but copper required for all branch circuiting, and all conduit and conductors sized per NEC compliance. The project duration remains 150 calendar days from the Construction Notice to Proceed, with minimum 24-hour notice required before any planned work days and engineer presence mandatory for all critical work items including concrete, asphalt, and utility connections.

TO: All Interested Bidders and Other Interested Parties
FROM: Daniel J Nickols, PE – Associate Vice President, AVCON, Inc.
The City makes the following changes, additions, deletions, information, and/or clarifications and now considers the addendum a part of the IFB Document. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this addendum by indicating receipt in the space provided on the Proposal Bid Form. If the bidder has already submitted the Proposal Bid Form to the City’s Procurement Division, the Bidder should revise their electronic submission to include this addendum. In any case, the submission of a bid is an acknowledgment of receipt of the addendum. The City will construe all bids received as though the
Bidder has received and acknowledged the addendum.
The pre-bid meeting minutes and pre-bid sign-in sheet are included as an attachment to this addendum.
Below is the City’s reply to RFIs (Request for Information – a/k/a bid inquiries or questions) submitted by interested parties by the posted deadline to submit RFIs.
Q1. Please advise if the Higher Power hydraulic hangar doors are intended to be hot-dipped galvanized. DCP 08 36 19 item #4 indicates the finish to be factory-prime, field-painted;
however, spec section 08 36 19 references a galvanized zinc coating. Higher Power typically charges an additional cost for the hot-dipped galvanized option.
A1. Finish to be factory primed, field painted.
Q2. In regard to Addendum #1 Question #12 response: Is the intent for there to be (4) separate electric services for the (4) hangar units, as well as (1) common House Panel that will service the exterior lighting and power needs not specific to the four units? The DCP somewhat references this, but it isn’t entirely clear. Can the DCP be revised to specifically state the individual metered units rather than specifying a 1,200-amp MDP?
A2. Owner has revised direction to the following: The hangar building will be provided with a
1200amp total capacity main (208V/120V, 3Ø, 4-wire) to an exterior mounted service rated disconnect and wireway. The wireway shall serve individual meters and disconnects for four
(4) tenant spaces and a house panel (5 total at 200 amps each). Feeders shall be provided from this exterior mounted wireway to interior panels in each tenant space (200A 208/3ph each). The house panel may be exterior mounted at 200a as well. All exterior lighting and power needs will be supplied by the house panel. Power devices and lighting in each hangar space will be powered via the associated sub-panel located within the space.
IFB 26-013-DN
Commercial Hangar Building
Addendum No. 2
Q3. In regard to Addendum #1, Question #11: Is there a minimum size oil/water separator that is to be required? Is there a basis of design for the separator that we can research and include?
A3. Sizing will be predicated on floor area served per drain per FPC 1003.4.2.2. A good basis of design (sizing to be adjusted as required) is Zurn 1188-450-E-HD.
Q4. Item Number 19 on the Bid Form is a bit confusing when looking at SP-01 specification in the
Project Manual. Under SP-01-5.1, the DDCV is listed as an Allowance however, on the Bid Form, it shows a Qty of 1 Ea. Does the $20,000 allowance include this DDCV & associated work? Does the allowance include the wet tap? Please provide further clarification on the SP-01 Allowance criteria vs what the GC is supposed to include in the other SP-01 bid items.
A4. The allowance is intended to cover costs levied by the City or AHJ for assistance with potable water installations including inspections, oversight, testing, monitoring or self-performance of portions of the work at the AHJ’s discretion.
Q5. Can you please advise what work the SP-03 Allowance of $50,000 is supposed to include? Is the allowance supposed to be for work separate from Bid Item Numbers 11 & 12 from the Bid
Form? Please advise.
A5. The allowance is intended to cover costs levied by the City or AHJ for assistance with the sanitary sewer installations and connections to the existing sewer. Specifically, this allowance shall cover costs incurred by the City or AHJ to oversee the connection to the existing gravity sewer main. Due to recent simplification of scope for the sanitary sewer installations, the allowance shall be reduced from $50,000.00 to $5,000.00. The cost of cleanouts, connections, bends, elbows, Y’s, and other appurtenances shall be incidental to the cost of the 4-inch and
6-inch sewer lateral line items.
Q6. Please confirm the gable-style roof is acceptable for the hangar per DCP. The most recently completed box hangars at KLEE are a single-slope roof style, not gable .
A6. Owner has confirmed that a single-sloped roof is preferred to match the existing surrounding hangars. Roof shall be sloped from front to back. A gutter and downspout system shall be included and direct connections to adjacent stormwater infrastructure shall be provided.
Slopes and elevations shall be field coordinated.
Q7. Will the house panel be 100amp, can we feed it from the transformer with XHHW aluminum feeders? Will one exterior 120v 20amp GFCI receptacle be sufficient located under the house panel? We already know the voltage will be 120/208v three phase.
A7. It is acceptable to utilize aluminum conductors for main panel feeders. All branch circuiting shall be copper. All conduit and conductors shall be sized in accordance with NEC compliance.
House panel size shall be minimum 200a.
Q8. How many exterior wall packs will be needed to feed from the house panel, and locations, what wattage and cut off is required, will they be photocell or time clock controlled?
A8. Please see narrative: “Aircraft Hangar Building exterior lighting fixtures shall be LED wall packs installed above each personnel door with emergency backup options available and around the perimeter of the Aircraft Hangar.

Contractor shall assume that 10 additional wall pack lights will be installed around the perimeter of the building, in addition to the wall pack lighting over the personnel doors.
Q9. What size do the (4) interior electrical panels need to be 100amp, 150amp or 200amp?
A9. Owner has revised direction to the following: The hangar building will be provided with a
1200amp total capacity main (208V/120V, 3Ø, 4-wire) to an exterior mounted service rated disconnect and wireway. The wireway shall serve individual meters and disconnects for four
(4) tenant spaces and a house panel (5 total at 200 amps each). Feeders shall be provided from this exterior mounted wireway to interior panels in each tenant space (200A 208/3ph each). The house panel may be exterior mounted at 200a as well. All exterior lighting and power needs will be supplied by the house panel. Power devices and lighting in each hangar space will be powered via the associated sub-panel located within the space.
Q10. Can we use XHHW aluminum on the hanger tenant service laterals and panel feeders?
A10. It is acceptable to utilize aluminum conductors for main panel feeders. All branch circuiting shall be copper. All conduit and conductors shall be sized in accordance with NEC compliance.
