This Addendum #1 document, issued August 14, 2026, modifies the original contract documents for the North Carolina Zoological Park Standby Generators Project (SCO #16-14441-02G) managed by the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources through Utility Technology Engineers-Consultants, PLLC. The project encompasses providing and installing standby generators, switchgear control systems with E-House, equipment foundations, and site work at the Asheboro location. The original bid advertisement dated July 28, 2026 has been updated, with the pre-bid meeting held August 6, 2026 at 2:00 PM in the Stedman Education Building at the NC Zoo. Critical dates revised by this addendum include the deadline for final questions moved to September 3, 2026, final addendum issuance on September 10, 2026, and bid opening rescheduled to September 17, 2026 at 3:00 PM.

The contractor must complete work within 550 consecutive calendar days from Notice to Proceed or 215 consecutive calendar days after equipment delivery, with normal construction hours from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and material storage at a warehouse located at 3733 Old Cox Road, coordinated with NC Zoo staff.
Bids must be submitted as lump sum proposals under a Single Prime Contract structure, with general contractors required to hold a minimum Limited License classification under North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 87, Article 1. Each proposal requires a five percent cash deposit, certified check, or bid bond, with 100 percent performance and payment bonds required upon award. Payment will be made at ninety-five percent of monthly estimates with final payment upon completion and acceptance of work. No bid may be withdrawn after the scheduled closing time for thirty days.
