Addendum No. 3 for SEPTA RFP No. 26-00036-ACAC for Actuarial Services extends the proposal submission deadline from July 1, 2026 at 3:00 PM to July 8, 2026 at 3:00 PM and provides answers to remaining questions received from prospective proposers. The addendum, issued by Carolyn Cotton, Senior Contract Administrator in the Procurement & Supply Chain Management Department, must be acknowledged by signing the Addendum Acknowledgement Form and submitting it with the Technical Proposal. The addendum addresses ten questions primarily focused on modifications to Section 24 insurance requirements and other contract terms.

Key revisions include acceptance of changes to General Liability Insurance limits ($1 million per occurrence, $2 million annual aggregate), Automobile Liability coverage for hired and non-owned vehicles, Professional Liability/Errors and Omissions coverage ($5 million per claim and annual aggregate with three years extended reporting), Cyber/Privacy Liability limits ($3 million per occurrence and annual aggregate), and removal of Property/Builders Risk Insurance Coverage requirements. SEPTA denied proposed limitation of liability language capping contractor liability at $5 million per occurrence and $10 million aggregate, denied changes to Self-Insurance Retention language exceeding $50,000, and denied modifications to Workers' Compensation waiver of subrogation requirements and Additional Insured language provisions. The addendum confirms that all insurance carriers must maintain an A.M. Best Rating of "A-" or greater and may be admitted or surplus lines carriers where applicable.
