Addendum No. 1 specifically clarifies and revises the specifications for Item #62, changing its description from 'Small Deciduous Tree, 6” Dia.' to 'Small Deciduous Tree, 2.5”- 4” (If and Where Directed)'. This modification is crucial for all prospective bidders in preparing their proposals and reflects an adjustment to the landscaping component of the road improvements, ensuring appropriate tree selection and placement as directed by the municipal engineer. The original public bid was advertised on May 26, 2026, with this addendum dated June 8, 2026, addressing prospective bidder questions. The provided addendum does not detail specific contractor qualifications, required licenses such as the NJ Public Works Contractor Registration, or minimum experience requirements for this road rehabilitation project. Additionally, there is no mention of mandatory pre-bid meetings or site visits within this specific document. Prospective bidders are strongly advised to refer to the original bid advertisement and the complete master specifications for comprehensive details regarding these crucial aspects of contractor eligibility and engagement, as Addendum No. 1 focuses solely on a particular technical revision to the project scope and pricing schedule.
