library boilers addendum 1.pdf

This is an addendum issued by the Town of Durham, Connecticut to the Invitation to Bid for boiler replacements at the Durham Public Library. Addendum #1, dated May 11, 2026 and signed by First Selectman Brendan Rea, clarifies that the Town of Durham will provide the necessary glycol required for the boilers, thereby removing this material cost from contractor responsibilities. The addendum applies to the procurement for two oil-fired boilers with installation at the library facility located at 7 Maple Ave., Durham, CT 06422, with project completion required by October 2, 2026. The sealed proposal submission deadline remains May 21, 2026 at 2:00 PM EDT to the Town of Durham Office of the First Selectman, 30 Town House Road, Durham, CT 06422.

This modification reduces the scope of materials that bidders must supply, as the Town assumes responsibility for glycol provision. Contractors should adjust their bid pricing accordingly to reflect this change in material responsibility. All other terms of the original solicitation remain in effect, including insurance requirements, bonding obligations, prevailing wage compliance, and the evaluation criteria based on past performance, financial responsibility, and experience with similar projects. Award will be made to the lowest responsible and qualified bidder.
