About this file
This is Addendum No. 4 issued by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation Highway Division on July 23, 2026, pertaining to Proposal 609213-134927 for resurfacing and box widening on Ayer Road in Harvard (Federal Aid Project No. STP-0033(045)X). The addendum transmits clarifications and revisions to contract documents in response to bidder inquiries, including responses to two questions and revised specifications. The proposal opening and reading is scheduled for Tuesday, July 28, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The addendum modifies Document A00801 (revised page 57 addressing 48-inch Reinforced Concrete Arch Pipe specifications) and Document A00802 (revised page 30 and two newly inserted pages 30.1 and 30.2 distinguishing between residential and commercial driveway types along Ayer Road). Bidders are required to acknowledge Addendum No. 4 in their Expedite Proposal file before submitting bids.
The revised specifications for Item 241.481 (48-inch Reinforced Concrete Arch Pipe) identify four approved manufacturers—United Concrete Products Inc., Rinker Materials, Foley Products, or approved equal—to address supply chain constraints in the New England area, and require contractors to submit manufacturer product data for review and approval prior to installation. Payment for this item will be calculated per foot of installed pipe, with bedding measured and paid separately under Item 151.2. Pages A00802-30.1 and 30.2 provide detailed station offset locations for Item 702 (Hot Mix Asphalt Sidewalk or Driveway), clearly delineating approximately 33 residential driveway locations and 41 commercial driveway locations throughout the project corridor, enabling bidders to accurately estimate material and labor costs for the two distinct pavement types.
