Addendum #4 Summary
This is Addendum No. 004, issued August 7, 2026, by the State University of New York at Buffalo for Project No. 2022-109, the Biomedical Education Building (BEB) Third Floor Classroom renovation project. The addendum extends the bid due date to Wednesday, August 19, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with submissions directed to UB-Compliance@buffalo.edu. The addendum modifies specifications and drawings for the furnish and installation of science casework and equipment, replacing Specification Section 224000 and multiple drawing sheets (A101, A211, A212, A502, and A503). Key modifications include substituting Kemresin Epoxy Resin Countertops (or comparable products) for proprietary Kemresin, allowing standard and premium color selections instead of custom ICI Ice Blue, requiring ADA-height cabinet counters throughout at 31¾ inches plus 1-inch top, and specifying cabinet depth of 22 inches with 24-inch counter depth and 1-inch overhang. Additional changes mandate wall-mounted laboratory faucets and turrets mounted above backsplash with ADA compliance, semi-recessed flush pulls at all cabinets and drawers, all-metal cabinet construction with stainless steel or epoxy resin countertops, and replacement of the ADA Lab Station detail drawing.
The addendum addresses seven clarification questions submitted by bidders, resolving conflicts between specifications and drawings regarding material types, color standards, cabinet dimensions, faucet positioning, hardware specifications, and construction materials. The modifications ensure compliance with ADA requirements, clarify that melamine and laminate construction are not permitted, and confirm all casework must meet metal cabinet standards per project specifications. The attached modified sheets are highlighted with clouds to indicate specific changes. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this addendum on their bid proposal forms.
