2025 CDBG Road Rehabilitation, Standish Avenue & Freemont Street

The Township of West Orange, situated in Essex County, New Jersey, has issued Addendum No. 1 for its significant 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Road Rehabilitation project, specifically addressing improvements on Standish Avenue and Freemont Street. This comprehensive project aims to enhance the overall condition, safety, and longevity of these key municipal roads. The scope of work for this public works initiative includes, but is not limited to, the rehabilitation of existing road surfaces, along with related infrastructure upgrades and landscaping elements, specifically modifying Item #62 to 'Small Deciduous Tree, 2.5"- 4" (If and Where Directed)' from a previous 6" diameter specification. This addendum serves to clarify and revise certain aspects of the original bid specifications, ensuring all prospective bidders have accurate and updated information for their proposals, thus superseding prior versions of the Schedule of Prices page P-13. Although explicit details regarding contractor qualifications, specific licenses, and required experience are not elaborated in this addendum, the original bid documents, which were advertised on May 26, 2026, would contain these prerequisites. Typically, projects of this nature within New Jersey require contractors to possess a valid Public Works Contractor Registration, relevant state and local licenses, a proven track record of successful road construction or rehabilitation projects, and appropriate insurance and bonding capacities. This addendum does not mention any mandatory pre-bid meetings or site visits; such information would have been disseminated as part of the initial solicitation package. Detailed submission instructions, the precise bid deadline, and comprehensive requirements for bid security or performance bonds are not provided within this Addendum No. 1. These crucial procedural elements remain as specified in the initial bid advertisement, which was published on May 26, 2026. Bidders are specifically directed to use the attached revised page P-13 for submitting their Schedule of Prices, which supersedes any previous versions. For confirmation of addendum receipt and for any questions pertaining to the addendum, prospective bidders are to contact Panayiota Reynolds, either by email at preynolds@westorange.org UNLOCK or by phone at (973) 325-4056. The complete addendum is publicly available for inspection at the Township of West Orange Purchasing Department at 66 Main Street, West Orange, NJ 07052.
