Renovation of Three Firehouses Within the City of East Orange - Addendum #1

The City of East Orange is issuing Addendum #1 for an Invitation to Bid concerning the Renovation of Three (3) Firehouses within the City. This project involves comprehensive renovation services for three municipal fire station facilities. The initial Invitation to Bid was advertised on Saturday, December 11, 2021, in the Newark Star Ledger, with the original Bid Opening scheduled for January 19, 2022, at 12:00 p.m. This addendum primarily serves to clarify and update key dates and requirements, ensuring all potential bidders have accurate information for their submissions related to these critical public safety infrastructure upgrades. Contractors are informed of the highly recommended Pre-Bidders’ Site Visit, which was previously omitted. This mandatory site visit is scheduled for Tuesday, January 4, 2022, at 9:00 a.m., commencing at Firehouse #2, located at 60 Main Street, East Orange, NJ. Attendance at this site visit is crucial for prospective bidders to thoroughly assess the existing conditions and scope of work for all three firehouses. Additionally, two revised forms, specifically the "Acknowledgement and Statement of Organization" and the "Affirmative Action Affidavit," are now available for download on the City of East Orange’s official website: www.eastorange-nj.gov. Adherence to these updated documents is essential for a compliant bid submission. The Request for Information (RFI) cut-off date has been officially revised from Wednesday, December 22, 2021, to Wednesday, January 5, 2022, with all inquiries needing to be submitted no later than 2:00 p.m. The original Bid Opening date remains January 19, 2022, at 12:00 p.m. For any further questions or concerns regarding this renovation project or the addendum, interested parties are directed to contact Lisa L.
