Addendum 03 Narrative Project Name: Cushing Vehicle Warehouse Project Location: GRDA – Cushing, OK

This Addendum modifies previous Bid Documents, Specifications and Drawings as listed below. Bidders shall notify the Contracting Officer immediately with any discrepancies or errors found in these documents through the bid question system.

Clarifications to Bid Questions

1. Bid Question:

1.1. Could not find information on the overhead door – is it insulated? Response: No, the overhead door will not be insulated. We have also added an OH door spec section to this addendum for reference.

2. Bid Substitution Question: 2.1. The Keystone block retaining wall system specified in the documents could be

discontinued. Can a Dolese Trinity block wall system be used as a substitution? Response: Yes, the Dolese Trinity Segmental Block Wall System is an acceptable alternative to the Keystone block wall system.

3. Bid Question: 3.1. Sheet S001 "Design Criteria" #1 Says IBC 2006. One of the metal building

manufactures has asked if this is correct. He said he can bid it this way, but his computer updates code automatically and says Cushing area is currently under IBC 2009. He just wants to make sure he is bidding the correct code you want.

Response: The project should be under IBC 2009.

4. Bid Question: 4.1. Sheet C101 "Notes by symbols". Notes # 6,12,14,15 do not appear on the plan sheet.

Please clarify? Response: Please omit Note 6 (OWS and drain excluded from project). Notes 12, 14 and 15 have been added to the plan sheet. See revised Sheet C101 included in this addendum.

5. Bid Question: 5.1. I know this is just a storage building, but is there any fire sprinkler, fire alarm or

extinguishers required?
