The New Jersey Division of Property Management & Construction is accepting sealed bids for chiller replacement and associated repairs at the Joseph Kohn Training Center, 130 Livingston Ave, New Brunswick, Middlesex County, with bids due August 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. via Bid Express, and a mandatory pre-bid meeting at the facility on August 6, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Attendance at the pre-bid meeting is mandatory; only bidders who attend will have their bids accepted. Contractors must pre-register all attendee names by email to Isaiah Gibson and Michael Cifrodelli by 2:00 p.m. on August 4, 2026.

This is a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) set-aside with a goal of awarding 25 percent of the total contract value to an SBE at either the prime or subcontract level. The lowest responsible bidder must produce an approval notice from the Division of Revenue and Enterprises Services prior to contract award. The project also includes minority percentage goals of 24 percent per skilled craft and female percentage goals of 6.9 percent per skilled craft.

Bidders must hold DPMC classification as General Construction (C008), General Construction/Alterations & Additions (C009), or HVACR (C032). Failure to list all required classified subcontractors—Structural Steel & Ornamental Iron (C029), HVACR (C032), and Electrical (C047)—renders the bid non-responsive. All work must be bid as a single lump sum covering all trades.

The Competitive Competence Exam (CCE) value is $911,411. Bid security is required, and bids may not be withdrawn for 60 calendar days after opening.
