Bergen County Record Storage Facility (RGL Building) Generator Project

Bergen County is soliciting bids on an emergency generator installation project at its Record Storage Facility (RGL Building) in Rockleigh, New Jersey, with proposals due August 11, 2026. The work must comply with the Public Labor Agreement and is subject to a single prime contract structure.

The scope includes installation of a ground-mounted emergency generator on a new concrete pad with bollards adjacent to the existing building, a new transfer switch with all related electrical connections and equipment, utility connections, repair of the building envelope at all penetrations to maintain a watertight enclosure, and repairs or replacement of any damaged site conditions including paving, curbs, and landscaping. The contractor must prepare detailed submittals including a schedule of values, construction schedule using Primavera P6 software with CPM analysis, manpower-loaded schedule, and monthly cash flow curves. Work shall commence upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed and be substantially complete within 90 days from the date of building permit issuance. Work is limited to normal business hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and must coordinate with ongoing campus operations and training activities.

The project includes a $20,000 contingency allowance. The contractor absorbs all increases in labor rates and material costs and is responsible for coordination with separate contractors and the owner. Payment applications must comply with the New Jersey Prompt Payment Act with 30-day payment terms and include certified payroll documentation, union dues verification, notarized waivers of lien from all subcontractors, and construction photographs. Retainage withholding applies, with punch list work representing five percent of the total contract sum and closeout work representing three percent, released proportionally as work is completed. Liquidated damages apply for delays beyond the contract completion date. The architect will charge contractors $155 per hour for excessive RFI re-reviews at the architect's discretion.
