NJIB Clean Water Application Stormwater Maintenance Equipment

The Borough of Seaside Park, Ocean County, New Jersey, is soliciting bids for the "NJIB Clean Water Application Stormwater Maintenance Equipment" project. This document, Addendum #1, introduces crucial revisions to the technical specifications for three primary equipment categories: Section 11200 for a Vacuum Combination Storm Sewer Cleaner (specifically, a Vactor 2100i 10 Yd. Debris Combo or approved equal), Section 11300 for a Three Wheel Street Sweeper (an Elgin Pelican Sweeper with a 3.6 CY hopper or approved equal), and Section 11400 for a Compact Street Sweeper (a Multihog VC350 Sweeper with a 1.5m3 hopper or approved equal). The comprehensive scope of work involves the furnishing and delivery of new models of these specialized vehicles, which must strictly adhere to the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act requirements, emphasizing the use of domestic iron and steel, manufactured products, and construction materials. Decisions on equivalency for alternative equipment models will be at the sole discretion of the Purchasing and Public Services Director, potentially requiring bidder demonstrations. All equipment must be delivered to a location specified by the Borough in Seaside Park. Contractors submitting proposals are mandated to include a detailed submittal package for each proposed piece of equipment. This package must consist of a cover page, descriptive literature, and comprehensive equipment specifications covering aspects such as water and debris capacity, body color, tool storage, transmission, controls, broom specifications, camera systems, dimensions, operating parameters, cab features, and engine specifications. A critical, mandatory requirement is the inclusion of complete manufacturer warranty information for both the chassis and the body; failure to submit these warranty certificates will be considered an incomplete bid and lead to rejection. Additionally, bidders must complete and attach the compliance worksheet found in the appendix for any "approved equal" equipment. The bidding dealer must be capable of performing all warranty work directly, without subcontracting, and must possess a service facility located within the State of New Jersey to ensure prompt service and access to replacement parts. An eight-hour operator training session, covering operation and safety, is required upon delivery at the Borough of Seaside Park Department of Public Works. All specifications and bids must be updated to reflect the revisions outlined in this Addendum #1, which was issued on January 2, 2026. Bidders are expressly required to complete and include the "Acknowledgement of Receipt of Addenda" form (Page P-3) with their final bid submission. Non-compliance with this specific instruction by failing to submit the acknowledgement form will be classified as a fatal defect, resulting in the rejection of the bid. The addendum does not specify a bid submission deadline or requirements for bid security/bonds. For inquiries or further clarification regarding the addendum, Alan B. Dittenhofer, PE, PP, CME, is listed, although no direct contact information like email or phone is provided within the excerpt.
