QUESTIONS ASKED DURING THE BIDDING PERIOD

  1. We're unable to meet the contract completion date of November 15th, 2023, would the County consider allowing the contractor to work over the Winter and have a revised completion date of May 2024?
    1. Addendum 1 modifies the Progress Schedule to ensure that the work adheres to the Nicor Gas re-connection schedule of October 1, 2023, and the Basis of Bid form has been updated to provide alternative Pay Items should the project require winter installation. 
      Please note that the Nicor re-connection schedule is a critical path item, and the date cannot be changed.
