SECOND RIVER CHANNEL PROPOSED RETAINING WALL REPLACEMENT

The City of East Orange, New Jersey, is actively seeking qualified contractors for the significant Second River Channel Proposed Retaining Wall Replacement project. This vital public works initiative, initially advertised through an Invitation to Bid in the Newark Star Ledger, involves the comprehensive replacement of an existing retaining wall situated along the Second River Channel. The scope of work is anticipated to encompass all necessary demolition, site preparation, construction of the new retaining wall structure, and associated landscaping or site restoration, ensuring long-term structural integrity and public safety within the municipality's infrastructure. While this specific Addendum No. 1 primarily addresses a document correction, prospective bidders should refer to the original Invitation to Bid for comprehensive details regarding contractor qualifications. Typically, such critical infrastructure projects demand extensive experience in civil engineering, retaining wall construction, and waterfront or riverine environments. Bidders are generally required to possess relevant state contractor licenses, demonstrate robust financial capacity, and may need to hold a valid NJ Public Works Contractor Registration. Information regarding any mandatory pre-bid meetings, site inspections, or specific professional certifications would be detailed in the core bid package, which this addendum does not supersede. The original Bid Opening for this project is firmly scheduled for Wednesday, March 15th, 2023, at 12:00 p.m. A critical update for all interested parties is the posting of the correct proposal sheet, specifically designated as '3.13 Proposal Sheet,' which is now available for immediate download and review on the official website of The City of East Orange: www.eastorange-nj.gov. Bidders are advised to ensure they use the correct version of this document for their submission. For any further questions or necessary clarifications pertaining to this addendum or the bidding process, Racquel C. Ferguson or the Division of Procurement can be reached directly at (973) 266-5162.
