ADDENDUM #1

May 28, 2026

This addendum provides bidders with the Pre-Bid Meeting Summary and adds a special provision to be

used in the event that the sanitary sewer is delayed.

1) Most of the items in the attached Pre-Bid Meeting Summary are for clarification and do not

change the contract. However, any additional added detail or changes from the contract

documents should be considered binding.

2) The following special provision is added.

ADDITIONAL MOBILIZATION AND TRAFFIC CONTROL FOR DELAY OF SANITARY SEWER

This work shall consist of preparatory work and operations necessary for the movement of

personnel, equipment, supplies, and incidentals to the project site when beginning work on the

sanitary sewer portion of the project if construction of the sanitary sewer must be delayed due

to permit and easement acquisition. The sanitary sewer will be considered delayed if permits

and easements are not obtained the last day of placing PCC Pavement, 8” for Stage 1. Sanitary

sewer will not be considered delayed, and this item will not be paid, if it is removed for the

project.

This work shall also consist of traffic control required for single lane closures for construction of

the sanitary sewer and associated items such as sidewalk on completed portions of Merchant

Street if construction of the sanitary sewer must be delayed due to permit and easement

acquisition. All traffic control and signage shall be in accordance with the current edition of the

MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices), the Illinois Highway Design Standards for

Traffic Control, and the Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, these Special

Provisions, and any special details contained herein and in the plans.

This work will be paid for at the lump sum price for ADDITIONAL MOBILIZATION AND TRAFFIC

CONTROL FOR DELAY OF SANITARY SEWER. The City reserves the right to delete this work if the

project is not delayed or if the sanitary sewer work is deleted. When the sanitary permits and

easements have been obtained, 90 percent of the pay item will be paid. The remaining ten

percent of the item will be paid when 90 percent of the total contract value is earned.

3) A revised Schedule of Quantities with the special provision for ADDITIONAL MOBILIZATION AND

TRAFFIC CONTROL FOR DELAY OF SANITARY SEWER is attached.

4) A revised Schedule of Prices including pay item #62, ADDITIONAL MOBILIZATION AND TRAFFIC

CONTROL FOR DELAY OF SANITARY SEWER, is attached and shall be used when submitting bids.

The use of this Schedule of Prices will serve as a receipt of Addendum #1.

Merchant Street - Flamingo to Evergreen Reconstruction

PRE-BID MEETING SUMMARY

The meeting was attended by:

Mike French, Devin Grubb, Madelyn Rieman, and Luke Thoele with the City of Effingham

Katie Ulrich and Wes Kistler with Civil Design Inc

David Boyer with McCarthy Improvements

Nick Hutchins with Feutz Contractors

Kenny Weaver with A&R Services

Bob Hoene with Effingham Asphalt

A summary of the pre-bid meeting is as follows. It generally follows the Meeting Agenda and

the items on the agenda were reviewed:

• The Scope and Schedule (Sections II and III) were reviewed as shown on the agenda.

• Sanitary Sewer (Section IV) was discussed as shown on the agenda. Luke Thoele

expanded upon the delay of the right-of-way and easements. These takings have been

agreed upon by the property owners but have not all been closed on. In some cases, the

mortgage company must sign the documents, which can take months. In one case, the

property is in foreclosure proceedings and may not be able to be agreed upon by the

mortgage company. The mortgage company’s stance is unknown at this time.

• The Sidewalk (Section V) was reviewed.

• The Staging (Section VI) was reviewed. It was added that Family Care Associates has a

temporary entrance and temporary drive to connect sections of the parking lot.

Questions at meeting

Q: Will the sidewalk get built if the sanitary sewer gets built?

A: Yes.

Q: If the sanitary sewer is delayed, with the contractor be paid extra for extra traffic

control needed?

A: It was acknowledged that there are multiple scenarios of what could happen with the

sanitary sewer and west sidewalk. There was discussion about some of the potential

issues with how this is set up and how it can be bid. Luke Thoele said that the City and

CDI would have further discussion about this and clarify in an addendum.
