The addendum, dated October 17, 2025, provides clarifications and modifications to the original bid specifications, specifically addressing questions from Brite-Lite Electrical Co., Inc. regarding bidding procedures, form submissions, and scope of work. Key clarifications include instructions to list the site location at the top of the Bid Form, guidance on using the new "Schedule for Participation by MWBE Construction" form, and modifications to the fiber optic work scope.
