GL-2026-30- Cider Mill Pump Station Addendum No. 2.pdf

This is Addendum No. 2 to Bid No. GL-2026-30 issued by the Town of Glastonbury, Connecticut for the Cider Mill Pump Station Force Main Replacement project. The addendum, released June 26, 2026, addresses bidder inquiries regarding the scope of work for removal and replacement of approximately 1,000 linear feet of existing 4-inch cast iron force main with a 4-inch HDPE SDR11 Thermal Butt Fused force main on Cider Mill Road. The project also includes furnishing, installing, and maintaining a temporary sanitary sewer bypass during construction and performing pavement restoration. The bid due date remains July 1, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. EDT. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this addendum by inserting its number on Page BP-1 of their bid proposal.

The addendum clarifies a specific technical question regarding force main relocation. A bidder inquired whether the force main could be relocated six feet from its existing position to allow full installation with minimal shutdown and eliminate bypass pumping requirements, with the old cast iron main subsequently filled with flowable fill. The Town's response confirms that relocation is not feasible due to the presence of ledge in the area; the design requires reinstallation of the proposed force main within the existing ledge trench cavity limits. This clarification establishes the definitive scope boundaries for all bidding contractors.
