This Addendum One document is issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky Department for Facilities and Support Services, Division of Engineering and Contract Administration, for Invitation to Bid No. RFB-12-25 concerning Emergency Radio System Replace Phase 3 KSP-KEWS Tower Structural Modifications W2/C1 at various locations throughout Kentucky. The project involves structural modifications to two guyed towers: an 805-foot tower located in Richmond, Kentucky (WKLE site) and a 947-foot tower located in Science Hill, Kentucky (WKSO site). A pre-bid meeting was held on July 31, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. EST, with attendance from Allstate Tower, Inc. The addendum was distributed on August 6, 2024, and references additional specifications and drawings provided by Lynn Imaging. The project scope includes replacing diagonal and horizontal members at multiple elevations, installing leg reinforcements, replacing guy wires, and performing foundation modifications at each tower location.

The addendum establishes that all costs associated with gaining site access throughout construction shall be the responsibility of the contractor. Detailed structural modification drawings, specifications, and post-modification inspection reports prepared by Neel-Schaffer, Inc. are provided for informational purposes. Post-modification inspections conducted in August 2019 confirmed that modifications at both the WKLE tower passed inspection with no substantial deficiencies, while the WKSO tower passed with noted exceptions regarding neglected diagonal changeouts and field straightening of a bent horizontal member instead of replacement. The contract documents include comprehensive technical drawings, foundation modification details, guy cable hardware specifications, and photographic documentation of completed work at both sites.

Dear Mr. Harper, Neel-Schaffer, Inc. (NSI) has completed a Modification Inspection Report (MI) of the subject WKLE 805’ guyed tower located in Madison County, KY. The purpose of this MI is to verify that the installed modifications are in general conformance with the contract documents. A full review of the on-site materials and the drone photography was performed by NSI. The process used to inspect and label modification members was developed by NSI and presented to all parties involved in this project during the pre-construction meeting at KET June 20, 2018. This MI is not a review of the adequacy or effectiveness of the modification analysis.
