NOTICE OF CONTRACT AWARD CHANGE ORDER - Cranford Public Library Addition & Renovations Project - Construction Observation and Materials Testing Services

The Township of Cranford, New Jersey, has formally authorized Contract Change Order No. One for the ongoing Addition & Renovations project at the Cranford Public Library. This specific change order details an expansion in the scope of Construction Observation and Materials Testing Services, originally awarded to Geo-Technology Associates, Inc. (GTA). The expanded services now encompass the crucial observation of the removal and backfill of existing foundations within the new building addition, alongside structural steel observations, indicating a critical phase of the construction project. This modification reflects a financial adjustment of $4,000.00, consequently amending the total contract amount to $18,984.00, ensuring comprehensive oversight for the detailed structural work. As this document serves as a notice of a contract award change order, it does not delineate contractor qualifications, specific licensing requirements such as NJ Public Works Contractor Registration, general contractor experience stipulations, or any mandatory pre-bid meetings or site visits for new solicitations. These criteria would have been established and addressed during the initial procurement phase leading to the original contract award to Geo-Technology Associates, Inc. (GTA), and are not relevant to this post-award modification notice. This notice does not include instructions for bid submissions, required bid security, performance bonds, or an active submission deadline, as it pertains to an existing and modified contract. For public transparency, Resolution No. 2026-110, which authorized this change order, the original contract award documentation for Geo-Technology Associates, Inc. (GTA), and Change Order No. One are all available for public inspection at the office of the Municipal Clerk. The official date of this notice is February 3, 2026. Interested parties or those seeking further information can contact Patricia Donahue, RMC, Township Clerk, who is responsible for maintaining these public records.
