Section 4: Addenda
General
In the event that the Department modifies a proposal or the plans after the proposal release date, the external electronic bidding system will immediately generate email notification to Contractors of addenda related to projects for which they have requested the proposal.
Make an informed decision as to whether or not an addendum is needed or whether a change order is appropriate. Major errors require an addendum request.
- Minor errors, including but not limited to minor quantity errors or misspelled words, do not require correction prior to letting. A minor quantity error is an error that does not create significant change. The price also does not change, so it should not affect the bid.
- Major errors cause substantial changes that affect the bidding process.
Addendum Requests
Because significant work has gone into bringing a project to letting, and Prospective Bidders have expended efforts in preparing their bids, DES, CST, and Civil Rights Division (CIV) will make every effort to assist in issuing addenda.
Reference the
, Chapter 2 and DES Division website for the
and
for information on processing of addenda (internal access only). Addenda submitted without complete documentation will be returned to the district unapproved.
