Addendum #1: Franklin Farm Long Barn Rehabilitation

The project involves structural rehabilitation of the historic Long Barn at Franklin Farm. All existing wood framing is to remain in place, with repairs limited to rotted members under an allowance, and no interior finishes or new framing will be added. The town will clear the barn before work begins, and bidders must submit a 5 % bid bond. The work is expected to start in August 2026 and be completed by the end of 2026. • Scope: Structural timber repairs only (Dutch‑man timber replacements under Allowance No. 1). • No new construction, interior finish, or siding replacement – existing wood‑shingle siding stays. • Mandatory 5 % bid bond; pre‑bid meeting scheduled for July 7, 2026 (not mandatory). • Project window: August 2026 – December 2026 (≈5 months). • Contractor must be capable of timber framing assessment, allowance‑based pricing, and site clearance coordination.
