Golden_Gem_Utility_Improvements_Summary_of_Addendum_1_Plan_Changes.pdf

This document is an Addendum #1 Summary of Plan Changes for the Golden Gem Utility Improvements project issued by the City of Umatilla, Florida. The addendum outlines modifications to the original project plans affecting two primary work items: Change C-200 and Change C-300. Both changes involve converting Water Main (WM) installations from under-pavement placement to Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) configuration, matching specifications established in Change C-300. Additionally, Change C-300 includes relocation of the Temporary Jumper Connection to a new site location. These plan modifications represent refinements to the utility infrastructure construction scope that encompasses new water lines, sewer lines, pavement reconstruction, and general restoration along North/South Golden Gem Drive from Cayman Circle to East/West Golden Gem Drive. The mandatory pre-bid conference was held on January 16, 2025, with sealed bids due by February 13, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. City Council review is scheduled for March 4, 2025, with contract approval anticipated on March 18, 2025, and Notice to Proceed expected prior to March 31, 2025.

The addendum modifications to water main installation specifications and temporary connection placement represent technical adjustments to ensure project compliance with infrastructure standards. Bidders must account for these plan changes in their proposals, as the modifications directly impact construction methodology and material specifications. The project requires submission of two physical copies and one digital copy of bids, with contractors obligated to provide a 110% Payment & Performance Bond and comply with General Wage Decision GWD FL20250119 HEAVY 01.03.25 for labor rates. Approximately $900,000 in grant funding is available for the project, though the total project budget will be determined through the competitive bidding process. Bid documents are available from DPS Apopka for a non-refundable fee, and the City reserves the right to waive informalities, reject any or all bids, and select the bid most favorable to its interests.
