This Addendum 1 Q&A document is issued by the Texas Historical Commission (THC) in response to bidder inquiries regarding Invitation for Bids (IFB) 808-26-261095A for electrical service installation at Fort Griffin State Historic Site in Albany, Texas. The addendum clarifies key project specifications and requirements for the electrical contractor's scope of work. The document confirms that the utility company will set the transformer and two meter bases, with the electrical contractor responsible for providing 200-amp disconnects at each meter location. The addendum specifies that ceiling junction boxes in the barn will be sized appropriately for wire requirements (likely 8" or 12" boxes) without requiring specific location documentation, and clarifies that the contractor bears no responsibility for roof and soffit repairs following overhead mast removal. Bid opening is scheduled for 2:00 PM Central Time on April 21, 2026. The addendum requires bidders to acknowledge receipt of all addenda, with failure to do so potentially resulting in proposal rejection.

This Q&A addendum addresses critical technical and scope clarifications necessary for accurate bid preparation. The responses eliminate ambiguity regarding utility company responsibilities versus contractor obligations, particularly concerning transformer and meter base installation, as well as junction box sizing and location specifications. The document emphasizes compliance with bidding instructions contained in the main solicitation sections 2.5, 2.8, and 2.9. By resolving these questions prior to the bid deadline, the addendum facilitates more competitive and accurate bidding while reducing post-award disputes regarding scope of work and project deliverables.
