Addendum No. 1.pdf

This is Addendum No. 1 to an Invitation for Bid (IFB# 26-51) issued by the State University of New York Maritime College's Purchasing Department for exterior facade signage installation at Baylis Hall. The project involves providing comprehensive, single-source design-build services for an externally illuminated architectural "M" logo to be mounted on the exterior facade of Baylis Hall, with the vendor required to include professional New York State licensed electrical and structural engineering services. Vendors must demonstrate successful completion of at least four comparable contracts within the past five years of similar size, scope, complexity, and nature. The addendum revises key project timelines: the pre-bid walkthrough has been rescheduled to November 9 at 10:00 A.M., written questions are now due November 10, and written answers are due November 12. The addendum also includes revised drawings and specifications. All other terms and conditions of the original IFB remain in effect unless specifically revised by this addendum.

This is designated as a prevailing wage project, and vendors must submit valid and current New York State Worker's Compensation and Disability insurance forms. Minority and Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) contracting goals have been established at 11 percent for Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and 19 percent for Women Business Enterprises (WBE). The procurement is subject to New York State Finance Law 139-j and -k (Lobbying Law), and vendors are restricted to contacting only the designated purchasing contact, Donovan Lorde, Director of Purchasing, at dlorde@sunymaritime.edu. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this addendum by returning the acknowledgment form via email with the subject line referencing IFB 26-51 and the project name.
