Wayne Public Library Renovations: Phase 1

The Township of Wayne is soliciting bids for the Phase 1 renovations of the Wayne Public Library located at 461 Valley Road, Wayne, New Jersey. The project scope encompasses comprehensive renovations guided by technical specifications across multiple divisions, including concrete, masonry, metals, finishes, and equipment. Key deliverables include general renovation work and optional add alternates for the purchase of CSI canopy hanging ceiling clouds with integrated greenery and the installation of clear, bulletproof glazing film. The anticipated construction period begins March 1, 2027, and continues through December 31, 2027. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. Bidders must submit proposals via the OpenGov Procurement portal by November 20, 2026, at 11:00 am. Required submission materials include a bid deposit of 10 percent of the total bid not to exceed 20,000 dollars, a non-collusion affidavit, and various compliance questionnaires. Successful contractors must provide performance and payment bonds, as well as a two-year maintenance bond upon final acceptance. Contractors must adhere to strict regulatory and safety standards, including New Jersey prevailing wage laws, the Public Works Contractor Registration Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Special attention is required for site safety, public protection, and the handling of hazardous materials, as surveys have identified asbestos-containing materials in window caulk and pipe fitting insulation. The contractor is responsible for daily quality monitoring and must coordinate all field inspections with the Construction Manager.
