Central City Garage Parking Deck Replacement (Re-Bid)

The City of East Orange is re-bidding the Central City Garage Parking Deck Replacement project, a critical public works initiative focused on the comprehensive overhaul of existing municipal infrastructure. This extensive project involves the selective demolition and subsequent reconstruction of the concrete parking deck. The scope specifically requires the selected contractor to implement robust protection measures for existing utilities, equipment attached to the steel superstructure that must remain in service, and the underlying DPW garage space. Contractors are also responsible for safeguarding the lower levels from water damage and flooding during the demolition and construction phases, ensuring continuous operation and safety of the facility. Contractors interested in this opportunity are expected to possess significant expertise in large-scale structural demolition and concrete reconstruction within active municipal environments. While specific contractor licenses, such as the NJ Public Works Contractor Registration, are standard for New Jersey municipal projects of this nature, they are implicitly required rather than explicitly detailed in this addendum. A virtual Pre-Bid Conference was conducted on Tuesday, June 9, 2020, during which several questions and concerns were raised, leading to the clarifications provided in this addendum. Although not explicitly stated as mandatory, a thorough understanding of the project site and existing conditions is crucial for accurate proposal preparation. Bid submissions for the Central City Garage Parking Deck Replacement project are now due on Thursday, July 2, 2020, by 11:00 a.m. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, proposal packets can be either mailed or placed in the designated mailbox located in the back of City Hall, within the Directors’ Parking Lot on New Street. The project includes liquidated damages provisions: $1,500.00 per calendar day for delays in achieving substantial completion and $750.00 per calendar day for delays in reaching final project completion after substantial completion. An allowance of $25,000.00 for Police Traffic Control Directors is integrated into the Lump Sum Item for "RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PARKING DECK." For any additional questions or concerns, contact the Division of Procurement at 973-266-5162; UNLOCK the primary contact is Lisa L. Jackson, QPA. The final deadline for questions was Friday, June 19, 2020, by 2:00 p.m.
