RFP Bus Amenities Improvements

This Addendum forms a part of the Request for Proposals 2026-06 dated, February 6, 2026. In

response to received questions and updated schedule of events.

Questions posed during initial Q&A Period and CAT’s Responses:

Question 1:

Attachment A mentions that CAT anticipates awarding this contract to one or

more vendors; therefore, would you accept a bid from Jericho Palm to

manufacture bus shelters and amenities only? We do not have a team or

subcontractor to pour concrete, uninstall/install bus shelters/amenities, or pressure

wash/sandblast in your area.

Response: Yes, if the proposers is specific areas of the project. As the Authority might

purchase additional shelters.

Question 2: Is it required to be a State of Georgia Licensed General Contractor to Bid on this

Project?

Response: Yes, if the contractor is participating in the install/uninstall process. As the

shelters are also required to comply with ADA.

Question 3: Is there a budget for this project?

Response: Yes, every year CAT has allocated capital project funds for the passenger

amenities project.

Question 4: Will the new units include all of the material and fasteners to complete a Bus

Shelter?

Response:

The units to be installed if new, will require either for CAT to purchase the

shelters or the vendor (contractor) to purchase whichever is more convenient. All

the new units should include all shelter materials necessary for the shelter

installation, excluding concrete and other construction related products.

Question 5: Should we provide an estimate for the Powder Coating of an existing Bus Shelter?

Response: Yes, if the contractor is proposing the refurbishment of the units that will be

uninstalled.

Question 6: Is an estimate for a new Bus Shelter, labor and material required? If so, how many

units would be included?

Response: CAT has the specs for the shelters requirements; we are looking to install around

fifty (50) locations every fiscal year. Specs are included with the addendum.

Question 7: I want to inquire about CAT's current status with the Chatham County contract

and whether any developments there might impact this project's continuation.

Response: The RFP would not be affected by the developments with the County, as the

funds for this project have been allocated under CAT’s current capital plan.

Question 8:

As we understand it, the agreement is set to end on June 30, 2026. Could you

please confirm if that remains the case? Additionally, if the contract is not

renewed, would this project proceed independently without reliance on the

Chatham County agreement?

Response:

CAT, a Georgia public authority created under Georgia state law, is the

designated federal transit grant recipient for the Chatham County area, and it will

continue providing public transit services even if the Chatham County

Commission does not renew the contract. CAT is currently entering into

contracts and managing daily operations under governance by its current 11

member board (which includes three County appointees). Funds are available for

this project, which encompasses almost half of the shelters in the current CAT

footprint.
