CENTRAL CITY GARAGE PARKING DECK REPLACEMENT

The City of East Orange is seeking competitive bid proposals for the Central City Garage Parking Deck Replacement project. This addendum, Addendum #3, specifically addresses modifications to the bidding schedule and submission protocols for this significant public works endeavor. The project involves the comprehensive replacement of the existing parking deck infrastructure, ensuring the continued functionality and safety of a critical municipal asset. This solicitation was initially advertised in the Newark Star Ledger and on the official East Orange website, www.eastorange-nj.gov, with Addendum #2 published on Saturday, June 27, 2020, which originally set a bid opening for Tuesday, July 7, 2020, at 11:00 a.m. Due to requests from prospective vendors for additional time to prepare thorough and competitive bid proposals, and in adherence to legal requirements (40A:11-23c.) concerning sufficient response periods, the bid opening date has been officially rescheduled. The document indicates that this rescheduling is crucial to facilitate a robust competitive environment, allowing all interested parties adequate opportunity to develop comprehensive responses. Specific contractor qualifications, licenses, or mandatory pre-bid meetings are not detailed within this addendum; however, such requirements would be outlined in the primary bid documents, which remain pertinent. The final bid opening date for the Central City Garage Parking Deck Replacement project is now Tuesday, July 16, 2020, at 11:00 a.m. The bid proposals will be opened in the City Council Chamber, located at 44 City Hall Plaza, East Orange, NJ 07018. Recognizing the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of East Orange has provided alternative submission methods: bid proposal packets can either be mailed in or physically placed in the designated blue mailbox situated in the Directors’ Parking Lot, at the back of City Hall on New Street. For any further inquiries or concerns regarding this addendum or the bidding process, interested parties are directed to contact Lisa L. Jackson at (973) 266-5163 or via email at EOprocurement@eastorange-nj.gov. UNLOCK
