South Meadows Recreational Trail Phase V_Addendum_2026-0615.pdf

This addendum is a Response to Questions document issued by Goodwin University Inc. for the South Meadows Multi-Use Recreational Trail Phase V project in Wethersfield, Connecticut, dated June 15, 2026. The document addresses a bidder inquiry regarding the location and installation requirements of split rail fencing on the project plans. The addendum clarifies that split rail fence installation is required at two specific locations—Station 00+27 and Station 13+12—where threatened or endangered plant species were identified during a previous environmental survey. These locations are referenced on Sheet SP-1 of the drawing set with note #5. For bidding purposes, contractors are instructed to assume a total of 48 linear feet of split rail fence installation. Prior to construction, a field survey will be conducted by others to verify whether these species remain present and identify any new species locations in the field.

The addendum does not specify pricing information, contract terms, or award details in the provided content. The response indicates that bid preparation should account for the full 48 linear feet of fencing as a conservative estimate, with the understanding that final quantities and locations may be adjusted based on pre-construction field surveys conducted by the project owner. The document serves as clarification to prospective bidders to ensure accurate cost estimation and project planning for this trail construction phase.
