About this file

This is Addendum No. 01 to the construction documents for the Colston Administration Building Elevator Replacement project at Savannah State University in Savannah, Georgia, issued by Cogdell & Mendrala Architects on June 19, 2025. The project involves modifications to the existing hydraulic elevator and associated systems in the Colston Building, including upgrades to the fire alarm systems. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held on June 11, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. EST at the Evers Physical Plant on the Savannah State University campus, with the sign-in sheet attached to the addendum. Bids are due on July 1, 2025, at 1:00 p.m., with a project duration of 150 consecutive calendar days. The addendum indicates that all documents are available through Cogdell & Mendrala Architects and specifies that the construction area is limited to areas identified in the contract documents. The project scope includes three allowances and two unit prices to be included in the bid package. Important deadlines for bidders include June 20, 2025, for requests for approval of substitute products and June 24, 2025, for written questions; no addenda will be issued within five days of the bid date.

The project is governed by applicable building codes including the 2018 International Building Code with Georgia amendments, the 2018 International Fire Code, National Electrical Code 2023 Edition, NFPA 101 Life Safety Code 2018 Edition, and ASME A17.1/CSA B44 Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators. The Colston Administration Building is a two-floor structure with a total gross area of 27,576 square feet and a gross project area of 2,130 square feet, classified as business occupancy under NFPA 101 with existing construction type IIB per the IBC. Liquidated damages are set at $500 per day. The building and adjacent buildings will remain open during construction, requiring contractors to maintain all egress paths and fire protection features while keeping the facility occupied. The addendum's primary modification is the replacement of sheet LS1.01 (Life Safety Plan) in its entirety, with the revised drawing provided in color as required by code.
