OldsmarESAddendum17126ss.pdf

This addendum to the Oldsmar Elementary School Chiller Replacement project, issued by the Pinellas County School District on July 1, 2026, provides electrical specifications and revisions for the removal and replacement of chillers CH-1 and CH-2. The addendum, prepared by Edward J. Wolanin, PE Principal Electrical Engineer, specifies that existing chillers must be disconnected and removed with associated conductors returned to the switchboard, while maintaining existing conduits and breakers for reuse. The scope requires terminating existing conduits into a new stainless steel weathertight junction box, providing new conduits from the junction box to the new chiller entry point, and ensuring the junction box placement does not block access panels on the new equipment. The feeder specifications require two runs of three #350 KCM copper conductors and one #1 THWN copper equipment ground in each existing conduit from the switchboard to each chiller, utilizing the junction box as a pull-box. This addendum was issued prior to the sealed electronic bid deadline of July 8, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. via the District's e-Procurement Portal.

The addendum addresses specific electrical design modifications necessary for the chiller replacement installation and serves as a binding revision to the original bid documents. Prospective bidders were required to obtain all bid documents through the OpenGov procurement portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/PCSB to ensure automatic notification of all addenda and subsequent modifications.

No specific contract award date, term duration, or renewal options are detailed in this addendum document.
