ADDENDUM_NO_1__1-24-25.pdf

This addendum to ITB-25-PW-002 addresses clarifications from prospective bidders for the City of Umatilla's N/S Golden Gem Utility Improvements project in Florida. The addendum confirms two critical specifications: all watermain and force main installations under roadways must utilize Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) rather than PVC, and the existing watermain is DIP material. These clarifications are essential for bidders preparing cost estimates and construction methodologies for the infrastructure project involving new water lines, sewer lines, pavement reconstruction, and site restoration. The original bid submission deadline is February 13, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., with a mandatory pre-bid conference having been held on January 16, 2025. All prospective bidders are required to acknowledge receipt of this addendum by signature and include the acknowledgment with their bid submission.

The addendum does not introduce new pricing terms, set-asides, or funding modifications to the original solicitation. Rather, it provides technical clarifications that directly impact material specifications and construction methodology, requiring bidders to adjust their proposals accordingly. The changes ensure compliance with infrastructure standards and compatibility with existing utility systems in the Umatilla area. Bidders must incorporate these DIP requirements into their project plans and cost proposals while maintaining adherence to the City's existing contract terms, bonding requirements, wage decisions, and technical qualifications outlined in the original ITB-25-PW-002 solicitation documents.
