Brooke Cooling Tower - Addenda 3.pdf

This is Addendum #3 issued by the Massachusetts Trial Court, Office of Court Management, Facilities Management & Capital Planning Department for Bid BD-26-1107-FREG5-ACCOU-123584 regarding Brooke Cooling Tower Repairs. The addendum modifies the original bid solicitation for the replacement of damaged louvers and supports on two Baltimore Air Coil Model 3604C cooling towers located at the Edward W. Brooke Courthouse in Boston. The addendum extends the bid due date from March 11, 2026 to March 18, 2026 at 12:00 PM and adds stainless steel louvers and supports as options to the parts list, requiring bidders to price accordingly based on Bidders' Conference notes. Bidders are required to acknowledge Addendum #3 on their proposal forms as a condition of submission.

The addendum does not establish new pricing requirements or set-asides but instructs bidders to incorporate the additional stainless steel louver and support options into their cost proposals based on guidance provided during the Bidders' Conference. The one-week extension of the bid deadline accommodates the expanded parts list and allows bidders additional time to obtain pricing for the stainless steel alternatives and submit compliant proposals. No other modifications to contract terms, project scope, insurance requirements, prevailing wage compliance, OSHA certification requirements, or bonding provisions are introduced by this addendum.
