This is Addendum No. 3 to the sealed bid solicitation for the Community Park Improvements Project issued by the Town of Charlemont, Massachusetts, dated June 22, 2026. The addendum clarifies bidding procedures and project requirements in response to contractor inquiries. Sealed bids are due June 26, 2026, for the project located at 10 School Street in Charlemont, Massachusetts. The work encompasses demolition and removal of existing tennis courts, construction of approximately 1,110 square yards of new asphalt court surfaces, installation of perimeter fencing, ADA-compliant pathways, drainage and infiltration improvements, site furnishings, and parking lot striping. All bids must be submitted as sealed documents in accordance with the Invitation for Bids; electronic or emailed submissions will not be accepted.

The addendum addresses three key bidder questions that establish important project parameters. The Town of Charlemont does not provide a disposal area for removed materials, making the contractor fully responsible for transportation and lawful disposal of all asphalt, topsoil, and other materials generated during construction. Additionally, the Town has not approved any alternative to the specified demolition and removal requirements, including in-place reclamation of the existing tennis court pavement. Bidders must submit proposals based on the plans and specifications as issued, with all other contract document provisions remaining unchanged. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all bid requirements, municipal standards, and prevailing wage obligations under Massachusetts law.
