Addendum #5 Q&A

This is Addendum #5 to the Griffin Spalding Wayfinding Signage Project, a request for proposal issued by Spalding County and the City of Griffin in Georgia for the installation of directional signage throughout the community. The project consists of 39 signs to be placed in various areas along streets and highways to direct tourists and visitors to key points of interest. The signs have received full approval from the Georgia Department of Transportation and installation was anticipated for February/March 2022.

The addendum addresses a materials specification question regarding the detail drawings for sign posts, specifically clarifying that a 1" x 3" aluminum tube specified in the drawings does not exist as a standard mill product. The contracting officer has authorized bidders to submit alternative proposals using readily available materials, such as a 2" x 3" aluminum tube, to achieve the same results. Bidders are required to quote the project as presented in the original specifications but may submit an addendum with their bid that proposes a less expensive alternative method, provided it achieves equivalent performance and functionality.
