About this file
This is Addendum Four to a painting contract for the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, Facilities Development and Operations Department, Capital Improvements Division, for the South Region Operations Center (SROC) Paint Entire Complex project (P-2026-000067). The addendum addresses responses to requests for information from prospective bidders regarding paint and coating product substitutions and scope clarifications. The project involves preparing, priming, and painting all wall surfaces of eleven buildings (K, L, N, O, P, Q, R, M, T, W), two sides of all exterior doors and frames, exterior of all roll-up doors, the chiller enclosure, front monument sign, bollards, fire backflow piping, knee walls, area containment walls, light poles, and all previously painted surfaces connected to or in direct relation to these areas according to Tnemec Coatings Inc. specifications. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this addendum and all previously issued addenda by signing and attaching the addendum to their bid form, with failure to do so potentially resulting in bidder disqualification.
The addendum denies a substitution request from ID Painting Corp. to use Sherwin Williams Paint and Coatings in place of the specified Tnemec products, detailing specific deficiencies in ASTM testing results, solids by volume, durability performance, salt fog exposure hours, adhesion strength, and exterior weathering resistance. The response clarifies that Sherwin Williams products do not provide sufficient documentation to qualify as equal or better alternatives to the specified high-performance Tnemec coatings, which are designed for South Florida's extreme weathering conditions. An additional clarification was provided to Cunano Builders Corporation confirming that utility doors, excluding roll-up doors, are included in the painting scope of work.

10,000 hours, while SW Fluorokem HS is only 3,000 hours.
