About this file

This is Addendum No. 3 to an Invitation for Bids (IFB) issued by the Portsmouth, Virginia Purchasing Office for Waters Middle School ADA Restroom Renovations (IFB No. 44-26-SKL). The project involves bathroom renovations including stalls, casework, fixtures, plumbing, electrical work, and all associated work necessary at Waters Middle School. The addendum clarifies working hours and project sequencing for bidders. Work may be performed during normal school hours from 3:00 PM to 10:30 PM on school days, or from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM during summer when the building is available. Weekend access can be coordinated as necessary. The project completion preference prioritizes restrooms in main hallways and locker rooms first. Bids are due on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, at 2:30 PM EST. A signed acknowledgment of this addendum must be received by the Portsmouth Purchasing Office prior to the bid due date or attached to the bid submission.

The addendum addresses technical clarifications regarding project specifications, specifically regarding mechanical drawings and fire/smoke damper locations on Waters drawing E-601. The addendum confirms that mechanical information is shown on plumbing plans and clarifies that no new fire/smoke dampers are being installed, allowing Note 5 on drawing E-601 to be disregarded. Bidders are instructed that acknowledgment of this addendum does not substitute for a signature on the original Invitation for Bids document, which must still be signed and submitted with the bid.

ADDENDUM NO. 3

TO ALL BIDDERS:

INVITATION FOR BIDS (IFB): NO. 44-26-SKL

COMMODITY: Waters Middle School ADA Restroom Renovations

BIDS DUE: Tuesday, March 17, 2026, at 2:30 PM EST

This Addendum is to answer and clarify questions submitted

1. I have only found the working hours to be identified as normal work hours for both Craddock and Waters. Does this mean that night work will not be required if the project cannot be completed in the summer? Wii we be able to work in the day when school is in session.

Normal school in session days can be worked from 3pm - 10:30pm. Once school is out, the building is available from 6:30am - 6:30 pm during the summer. Work can also be coordinated if necessary to access on weekends.

2. Is there a sequence to completing the bathrooms?

Preference for completion would be those restrooms in the main hallways and the locker rooms first.

3. On Waters - E601 there is a reference to a mechanical sheet to identify the locations for the fire and smoke dampers. While I did not see the same note on Craddock, can you confirm this is not needed or provide the referenced mechanical drawing.

The mechanical information is shown on the plumbing plans. However, there are not new fire/smoke dampers being shown. Note 5 on E-601 can be disregarded.
