Addendum #3.docx

Addendum #3 to Solicitation/Bid Number 6100066141, issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, modifies the bid due date and updates the eMarketplace system for the WWTP SBR 1 & Digester Rehabilitation project at Fort Indiantown Gap in Annville, Lebanon County. The primary change establishes a new bid submission deadline of Tuesday, June 30, 2026, at 2:00 PM through the Pennsylvania eMarketplace. This addendum supersedes the original July 30, 2026, bid deadline noted in the solicitation. A mandatory pre-bid conference remains scheduled for June 4, 2026, at 10:00 AM at Building 4-174 at the Wastewater Treatment Plant, with attendance required for all potential bidders. The project performance period extends 520 calendar days from the government-granted Notice to Proceed. Bidders must attach this addendum to their solicitation response; failure to do so may result in disqualification. Questions regarding the solicitation are due by June 18, 2026.

The project scope includes replacement of treatment equipment and application of protective coating systems to concrete surfaces in SBR #1 and Digester #1, with an estimated contract value between $2,000,001 and $3,000,000. This low-bid General Construction project carries mandatory Small Diverse Business (SDB) participation goals of 19% and Veteran Business Enterprise (VBE) participation goals of 3%, which bidders must meet in full or demonstrate Good Faith Efforts to achieve. Failure to meet these goals or receive an approved waiver results in rejection as nonresponsive. Liquidated damages are assessed at $750.00 per day. The Davis-Bacon Act and prevailing wage requirements apply to this federally funded project, with an enhanced minimum wage of $15.00 per hour adjusted annually. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder within 90 days of bid opening. Access to the Wastewater Treatment Plant does not require stops at the Main Gate Visitors Center, as the facility is located outside the fort's gates.
