Addendum 2~3.pdf

This is an Addendum #2 to an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for Fiber Optic Installation Services issued by the Town of Wareham, Massachusetts, dated September 10, 2026. The addendum modifies bonding requirements for contractors responding to the fiber optic installation project, which includes furnishing all fiber optic equipment, supplies, materials, tools, supervisors, labor, permits, approvals, police details, and bonds necessary to complete installations at multiple town locations. Bids for this project are due October 8, 2026, and all bidders are required to acknowledge receipt of this addendum in their bid submissions.

The primary modification contained in Addendum #2 reduces the required payment and performance bond amounts from one hundred percent (100%) to fifty percent (50%) of the contract value. This change appears on page fourteen of the IFB document under Article 14 - Performance and Payment Bonds and supersedes the original bonding requirement language. Contractors must ensure compliance with this updated bonding obligation when preparing and submitting their bids, as acknowledgment of the addendum is mandatory for bid acceptance.
