2026 Addendum #1 - North Avenue Streetscape Improvements Project

This municipal addendum, issued by the City of Plainfield, New Jersey, pertains to the "North Avenue Streetscape Improvements Project" identified by bid number CPLFD19006. The project focuses on enhancing the streetscape along North Avenue, indicating a significant infrastructure upgrade initiative designed to improve public spaces, pedestrian safety, and aesthetic appeal within the city. While the full scope of work is not detailed in this specific addendum, such projects typically encompass elements like sidewalk construction or repair, curbing, landscaping, lighting upgrades, street furniture installation, and potentially utility coordination, aiming to create a more vibrant and functional urban environment for residents and visitors alike. As an addendum, this document does not outline specific contractor qualifications, licenses, or experience requirements, nor does it specify mandatory pre-bid meetings or site visits. However, the text highlights adherence to NJDOT Procedures for Federal Aid Projects in the Division of Local Aid and Economic Development's Federal Aid Handbook. This implies that prospective bidders must meet stringent federal and state requirements for public works contractors, including proper registration, licensing, and demonstrated experience in similar streetscape or infrastructure improvement projects, especially those involving federal funding guidelines. Bidders are advised to consult the main bid document for comprehensive qualification criteria. This Addendum #1, issued on September 14, 2026, explicitly reschedules the bid opening for the North Avenue Streetscape Improvements Project. The new mandatory submission deadline and bid opening will now take place on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, at 11:00 AM, at the City of Plainfield Municipal Building, located at 515 Watchung Avenue, Plainfield, New Jersey. The rescheduling was necessitated because the City of Plainfield did not initially meet the NJDOT's advertising requirements, which mandate publishing the project once a week for a minimum of three consecutive weeks in at least two legal newspapers. Bidders are strictly reminded that acknowledging receipt of this and any other clarifications or addenda on the appropriate form within the project manual is a mandatory condition, and failure to do so will result in the rejection of their bid. No specific bid security or bond requirements are detailed within this addendum.
