This is Addendum Number One to contract documents for the Hattiesburg Public School District's District-Wide Improvement Projects Phase II, issued by WELCON Electrical Consultants, PLLC on January 27, 2026. The addendum addresses sports field lighting for football and baseball facilities across multiple campuses, providing clarifications on lighting specifications and fixture requirements. The addendum establishes specific footcandle and uniformity requirements for various lighting areas: football field lighting at 50 footcandles with uniformity standards, football bleacher lighting at 20 footcandles average with 3:1 maximum-to-minimum ratio, track lighting at 25 footcandles average with 15:1 ratio, entry way lighting at 10 footcandles average with 15:1 ratio, baseball infield/outfield at specified levels, and baseball bullpen lighting at 20 footcandles average with 5:1 ratio. The addendum clarifies that fixture quantities shown on drawings serve as a basis of design, and contractors must add additional fixtures as necessary to meet lighting level and uniformity requirements. Spill light boundary lines are defined as 100 feet away from each pole location around the perimeter of each field or track.
The addendum specifies that approved equal manufacturers for bidding purposes include Geo Sportslighting and Techline Sportslighting, with all vendors required to meet or exceed specification requirements including a 25-year warranty covering all parts, shipping, and labor, valid Mississippi licenses, in-state warranties and references, lighting level requirements, glare control and light spill specifications, and performance guarantees. The document notes that any contractor submitting proposed products that fail to meet specifications after bidding will be required to include additional fixtures or components at no additional compensation. Technical corrections to the electrical site plan are provided, including relabeling of the right field pole as "C2," deletion of conduit between poles "C2" and "D2," and removal of an erroneous reference to note #5 on the baseball field drawing.

January 27, 2026 ADDENDUM NUMBER ONE (1)
PROJECT: DISTRICT - WIDE IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS – PHASE II
MULTIPLE CAMPUSES
THE HATTIESBURG PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT
HATTIESBURG, MISSISSIPPI
SPORTS FIELD LIGHTING – FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL
WEC P/N: 25-MCK-02

The following additions, changes, clarifications and/or substitutions as indicated, are hereby made a part of the Contract Documents. Acknowledge receipt of this Addendum by inserting its number and date in the Proposal Form where indicated.
Questions from Contractors:
1. The specification has both light levels and uniformity requirements for the baseball infield/outfield and the football field. The plans also have footnotes of baseball bullpens lighting, bleacher lighting, entry way and track lighting with no uniformity requirements. Can you provide for each?
ANSWER:
a. Football bleacher lighting shall be 20FC average with Max/Min 3:1
b. Track lighting shall be 25FC average with Max/Min 15:1
c. Entry way lighting shall be 10FC average with Max/Min 15:1
d. Baseball bullpens lighting shall be 20FC average with Max/Min 5:1
2. I’m not sure even with the specified fixture quantities that 50fc on the football field and 25fc around the entire track would be achievable unless there was no uniformity requirement?
ANSWER: Footcandle levels shall be as specified in the contract documents or as part of this addendum. Fixture quantities noted on drawings are for basis of design. If additional fixtures are required to meet lighting level requirements, those fixtures need to be added as necessary. Uniformities shall be maintained as close as possible, but are equally as important as lighting levels.
3. The spec calls for spill light at a “specified boundary line”, that is not noted on any of the plans. I would need to know where the spill needs shown.
ANSWER: For the purpose of design criteria the boundary lines for spill light shall be at 100’ away from each pole location around the perimeter of each field or the track.
