Construction and Installation of Digital Signs - Addendum #2

The City of East Orange, New Jersey, is actively soliciting bids for a comprehensive project involving the construction and installation of digital signs throughout its municipal jurisdiction. This Addendum #2 pertains to the original procurement opportunity, which was initially advertised on Thursday, November 5, 2020. The scope of work is expected to encompass all necessary tasks for the successful deployment of modern digital signage solutions, including but not limited to, design, material procurement, structural mounting, electrical integration, software configuration, and ongoing system functionality. This specific addendum serves to provide critical updates and clarifications to prospective contractors, particularly regarding the submission timeline and responses to inquiries raised during the pre-proposal phase. Engaging in this project offers a significant opportunity for contractors to enhance public communication infrastructure within the City of East Orange. Regarding contractor requirements and pre-submission activities, the original bid solicitation would have detailed specific qualifications, including potentially mandatory certifications such as NJ Public Works Contractor Registration. This Addendum #2 references a Pre-proposal Conference that was held on November 18, 2020, which was an essential forum for potential bidders to gain a deeper understanding of the project's technical specifications, site conditions, and administrative requirements. Answers to the questions posed during this conference have been officially published and are accessible on the City of East Orange’s website at www.eastorange-nj.gov. Prospective contractors are strongly advised to review these answers diligently to ensure their proposals are fully compliant and address all facets of the city’s expectations for this significant digital signage initiative. This crucial Addendum #2 formally announces a revision to the Proposal Submission Deadline. The new, updated deadline for all interested parties to submit their complete proposals is now Friday, December 4, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. This adjustment supersedes the previous deadline of Friday, November 20, 2020, at 3:00 p.m., a change necessitated by time constraints associated with local public contract law. All bid submissions must be prepared strictly in accordance with the specifications outlined in the original bid documents and all subsequent addenda.
