About this file
This Addendum No. 1 document, issued by VK Civil Engineering on behalf of Grand Rapids Public Schools in Kent County, Michigan, modifies the contract documents for the 2027 Paving Projects. The addendum clarifies that each project is to be bid as a lump sum as the controlling project contract price, with unit prices provided for reference only. The document revises asphalt specifications across multiple school sites: the Nutrition Building, CA Frost, and Kent Hills West. Specific changes include adjustments to base and top course asphalt depths, addition of new bid items such as casting adjustments and stop sign placement at CA Frost, and renumbering of line items at Kent Hills West to eliminate duplicates. The addendum also adds a $1,000 allowance for playground pavement striping at Kent Hills West and revises plan details related to sidewalk protection, curb work, ADA compliance, parking configurations, and landscape specifications.
The addendum does not establish pricing terms, set-asides, or funding requirements, as it functions solely as a modification to existing contract documents. The changes emphasize design refinements and scope clarifications, including protection of existing infrastructure at multiple sites, revised pavement removal limits, addition of ADA ramp details, and updated parking lot specifications. The engineer, Colin Finch, P.E., notes that receipt of this addendum must be acknowledged on page 1 of the proposal submitted for bids.
