About this file

This is Addendum Number 2 (final) issued March 9, 2026, by the New Hampshire Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, Division of Parks and Recreation, Bureau of Trails for the Rail Removal and Salvage Project on the Berlin Branch Corridor in Bethlehem, NH (Project No. TB-2602). The addendum addresses three clarification questions posed during the bidder question and answer period and must be acknowledged by all bidders in their proposals, with failure to do so potentially resulting in disqualification. The project requires contractors to grade and level the 2.14-mile corridor using existing materials currently in place without the need to bring in additional fill materials. The State is seeking a contractor capable of completing the project before winter begins in late fall 2026, establishing a compressed timeline compared to the previous bid iteration (TB-2301) which had accounted for winter non-working periods. Additionally, the addendum clarifies that the State intends to have an inspector present whenever possible to assess and mark damaged versus undamaged rail and materials at no cost to the contractor, thereby protecting the State from liability for pre-existing damage and associated replacement costs.

The addendum does not contain pricing information, set-asides, incumbent contractor data, or funding source details. It serves primarily as a clarification document modifying the original bidding documents for this rail removal and salvage initiative, with particular attention to addressing contractor concerns regarding material sourcing, project timeline expectations, and inspection protocols for an active corridor currently maintained as the Mt. Agassiz Trail Association's snowmobile trail (Corridor 105).

ADDENDUM RESPONSE TO QUESTION & ANSWER PERIOD

TO: ALL CONTRACT BIDDERS

This addendum forms a part of the contract documents and modifies the bidding documents for RAIL

REMOVAL AND SALAVEG PROJECT on the BERLIN BRANCH RAIL CORRIDOR in

BETHLEHEM, NH, PROJECT No. TB-2602, with amendments and deletions noted below.

Acknowledge receipt of this addendum in the space provided in the proposal form. Failure to do so may disqualify the Bidder.

This addendum consists of 1 page.

CLARIFICATION TO BID QUESTIONS:

1. In regards to number 8 listed in the Scope of Work, will the corridor need to be graded/leveled using existing materials along the corridor or would the contractor be required to bring in additional materials (i.e. dirt, etc.) in order to level the corridor the 2.14 mile length?

a. RESPONSE: They will not be required to bring any material. They will need to grade the material that is currently in place.

2. This project was previously out to bid under TB-2301, at that time it was slated for starting Nov 8th 2023 and completion on September 30th 2024, can the time line of #TB-2602 be adjusted to match the length of time that was previously allotted in #TB-2301?

a. RESPONSE: The length of time for the previous bid was to adjust for the winter of 23-24 which the contractor would not have been working on the project. For this current bid, we are seeking a contractor that can complete this project before the winter starts in late fall 2026.

3. With there being an active snowmobile trail already along this section of track, Corridor 105 maintained by the Mt Agassiz Trail Association, will there be an onsite inspector at all times to mark which rail, and other materials are damaged or undamaged, and at no cost to the contractor to make sure we are not liable for damage already in place and the costs to replace the damaged materials?

a. RESPONSE: The State intends to have an inspector present to assess the rail whenever possible.
