A. PROJECT BACKGROUND:
The Township of East Brunswick (“Township”) wishes to hire a contractor to assist with
completing finish work for a new room divider/partition in the all-purpose room at the East
Brunswick Senior Center. This retractable divider splits a large room in half providing two
separate spaces for programming. This carpentry related work consists of removal and
installation of new drywall, plaster and finishing the walls, painting the walls and cleanup of all
dust and debris including floors and surfaces.
The Township is issuing this request for quotation via a fair and open process in accordance with N.J.S.A
19:44A-20.4 et seq.
It is the Contractor’s obligation to examine and familiarize themselves with all the requirements
of this Request for Quotation prior to submitting a proposal.
B. SCOPE OF WORK:
1. Scope of work is to remove approximately 180 sq feet of existing ceiling sheetrock to expose
building structure for work to be done by others. Once the work is completed by others the ceiling
will need sheetrock installed and finished as listed below. Please be advised that this will be a
multi-step process.
a. Prepare the Work Site:
i. Protect the Entire Floor: Use plastic sheeting or drop cloths to cover the entire
floor area to protect it from debris, dust, and paint.
ii. Clear the Area: Remove any obstacles, furniture, or items that could interfere
with the work.
iii. Ensure Safety: Make sure the site is safe by securing any potential hazards. This
includes covering electrical outlets and securing any exposed wiring.
b. Remove Existing Drywall:
i. Take Down Old Drywall: Carefully remove the existing drywall on both sides of
the area, cutting it away from studs and removing fasteners like nails or screws.
ii. Clean the Studs: After removing the drywall, inspect the studs for any damage,
mold, or issues that need fixing.
c. Install New Drywall:
i. Measure and Cut Drywall Sheets: Measure the dimensions of the walls and cut
the drywall sheets to fit the space.
ii. Hang the Drywall: Attach the new drywall sheets to the studs using drywall
screws or nails. Be sure the sheets are level and aligned correctly.
iii. Check for Gaps: Ensure that there are no large gaps between the drywall sheets,
and that the edges meet cleanly.
d. Plaster and Finish:
i. Apply Plaster or Joint Compound: Use a drywall joint compound (plaster) to
cover the seams between sheets. Apply the first coat of compound and let it dry.
ii. Sand Between Coats: Once the first coat is dry, lightly sand it to create a smooth
surface. Apply a second coat of compound to fill any gaps and smooth the
surface further.
iii. Final Sanding: After the second coat dries, sand the surface until it is perfectly
smooth, ensuring there are no visible seams or imperfections.

for an even, durable finish.
iii. Allow Time to Dry: Let the paint dry fully between coats.
f. Clean Up:
i. Remove Dust and Debris: After the painting is complete, thoroughly clean the
