Addendum #3 Questions-Answers

This is an Addendum #3 Questions and Answers document related to a wayfinding sign installation project for the City of Griffin and Spalding County, Georgia. The project involves the procurement and installation of 39 directional signs to be placed throughout Spalding County and the City of Griffin to direct tourists and visitors to key points of interest. The addendum clarifies that value engineering options are acceptable for pricing consideration, installation pricing should not be included in proposals, the quantity of 39 signs is confirmed, and signs vary in size with differing panel layouts and arrow configurations (ranging from 2 to 6 arrows per sign). Height restrictions from grade to the lower point of each sign must remain constant due to sidewalk placement requirements, which will result in posts of varying heights. The document confirms that delivery must be arranged to prevent sign damage, with the owner's facility capable of accommodating forklift unloading if necessary.

Breakaway hardware is required as a separate line item to allow the owner flexibility in potentially sourcing this component at a lower cost independently. The varying sign sizes necessitate different post heights to maintain consistent clearance from grade, a critical consideration for signs positioned on sidewalks subject to height restrictions. Bidders should structure their proposals to clearly delineate hardware costs from other project components to facilitate the owner's procurement options and cost management strategy.
