Robbinsville Township in Mercer County, New Jersey is seeking bids for the Community Park Playground Rebid (Bid #25R-09), a comprehensive playground renovation project located on Tax Block 24, Lot 1. The procurement involves site clearing, demolition of the existing playground, and installation of new playground equipment within a 98'x95' area.

Bidders must submit their proposals electronically through BidNet Direct by July 1, 2025, at 10:30 AM, with a required 10% bid guarantee not exceeding $20,000. The project requires contractors to install pre-purchased playground equipment and complete all work within 60 calendar days after contract award. Evaluation will be based on the lowest responsive bid, with the Township reserving the right to reject any submissions. Contractors must provide business registration certificates, non-collusion affidavits, and proof of contractor registration.

The project is funded through the Mercer at Play program and requires strict compliance with New Jersey prevailing wage laws, affirmative action requirements, and Americans with Disabilities Act standards. Bidders must demonstrate comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability, workers' compensation, and automobile liability. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bid package suggests a commitment to inclusive procurement practices. Contractors will need to coordinate utility services with PSE&G for electric and gas, and Robbinsville Township/Aqua New Jersey for water and sanitary sewer services. The project adheres to NJDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction (2019) and emphasizes environmental considerations, including soil management and vegetation stabilization. Although the total project budget is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the work and the detailed engineering specifications suggest a significant investment in community infrastructure improvement.
