This is a Special Notice Appendix from Pinellas County, Florida, outlining changes to the Invitation to Bid for Project ID 004906A, the South Cross Bayou Replacement of Generator Controls and Switchgear (GEN2), issued as a rebid. The project involves the removal and replacement of four 3200-ampere draw-out generator circuit breakers and six 2000-ampere draw-out feeder circuit breakers in two 277/480-volt, 3-phase, 4-wire switchgear lineups with 6000-ampere main bus ratings. The scope also includes reconditioning and modifying switchgear lineups and circuit breaker cells as required, along with removal of six free-standing, floor-mounted generator/engine control cabinets and their internal components. The work is located at the Pinellas County South Cross Bayou Advanced Water Reclamation Facility and requires all equipment, materials, and work necessary for complete, fully tested operational systems.

The Special Notice modifies Section 5.23 regarding weekend and holiday work, clarifying that such work is neither anticipated nor guaranteed but may be requested by the contractor with at least 48-hour notice. Section 5.40 establishes submittal requirements, mandating that contractors submit shop plans, data, test results, schedules, and samples at their own expense in a timely manner to prevent delays. The notice specifies that incomplete submittals will be returned and that the Design Professional/Engineer/Project Manager will document review time for submittals exceeding two review cycles. Contractors are responsible for reimbursing the County for all additional review efforts beyond the second submission at the Engineer of Record's standard rate of $492.03 per review, with charges calculated based on actual time recorded for each additional review.
