This is Addendum #3 to Request for Bid #7957 issued by the Town of Greenwich Purchasing Department in Connecticut for traffic control signs and materials. The addendum provides clarifications regarding the interchangeability and equivalency of retroreflective sheeting grades specified in the original bid. The original bid deadline was June 25, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., with the addendum reestablishing the deadline as July 2, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. The scope encompasses 385 line items including regulatory signs, parking signs, warning signs, guide signs, object markers, construction signs, school signs, sheeted sign blanks, overlay skins, sheeting materials, and miscellaneous items such as posts and stakes. All materials must conform to the 2009 edition or most current Federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards. The initial contract award is for one year with four optional additional years available through mutual consent on an annual basis.

Addendum #3 clarifies three critical material specifications: Engineering Grade Prismatic (EGP) is interchangeable with Prismatic Engineering (ASTM Type I); Engineering Grade is not equivalent to Prismatic Engineering; and VIP Grade (3M Series 3990, ASTM IX/XI) offers higher sign brightness compared to Diamond Grade. All pricing shall be FOB Greenwich with freight prepaid and allowed, and unit prices must remain firm for the initial one-year term unless the bidder indicates in the bid that pricing may increase or decrease in optional years with a specified maximum percentage. Delivery of all ordered materials must occur within five business days of purchase order receipt, with emergency deliveries required within 24 hours. The awarded vendor shall provide technical assistance and training at the Town's sign fabrication shop with qualified technicians available on 48-hour notice for service.
