Borger Lift IFB Addendum 1.pdf

This document is an Addendum (#1) issued by the Town of Leicester, Massachusetts, for the Borger Lift project. The addendum addresses concerns about the original project deadline of November 3, 2025, as specified in the Invitation for Bid (IFB). Recognizing potential challenges with supply chain issues and material procurement, the Town Administrator is providing flexibility to bidders by allowing them to propose their own estimated date of substantial completion.

The addendum indicates that bids will not be automatically disqualified for missing the original deadline, but the proposed completion timeline will be evaluated for reasonableness. The Town aims to encourage competition by accommodating potential delays in material acquisition. Bidders are instructed to clearly state their estimated substantial completion date in their response, with the understanding that excessively prolonged timelines may result in the bid being deemed non-responsive.
