About this opportunity
The Township of Denville, Morris County, New Jersey, is requesting sealed bids for general maintenance and repair contracting services covering carpentry, drywall, painting, curbing, and concrete sidewalk work at Township-owned facilities and public rights-of-way on an as-needed basis, with bids due August 19, 2026 at 11:00 a.m.
The scope encompasses rough and finish carpentry; door and window installation and repair; drywall hanging, patching, and finishing; interior and exterior painting with commercial-grade color-matching; repair and replacement of Belgian-block and concrete curbing billed per linear foot; and concrete sidewalk repair and replacement billed per square foot. All work must comply with the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, municipal standards, and accepted industry practices. ADA curb ramp work must meet ADAAG and the New Jersey Barrier-Free Subcode. Electrical and plumbing work are excluded and handled in-house by the Township. Work may be performed at multiple locations including the Municipal Building, Library and Museum Complex, Department of Public Works, Senior Center, recreational facilities, firehouses, and throughout the public right-of-way.
Compensation is time-and-materials at hourly rates for labor classifications (Carpenter/Finish Carpenter, Mason/Concrete Worker, Painter, and General Laborer) with a material markup percentage, plus unit prices for curbing and sidewalk work. All rates remain firm for the contract duration and include wages, payroll taxes, fringe benefits, overhead, and profit. The New Jersey Prevailing Wage Act applies on a project-by-project basis when individual project costs meet or exceed the current municipal threshold of $19,375.
The initial contract term is one year from execution with one optional one-year renewal by mutual written agreement executed at least thirty days prior to expiration, not to exceed twenty-four consecutive months total. The Township may terminate for cause with ten days' written notice and opportunity to cure, or for convenience with thirty days' written notice.
Bid security of 10 percent of the bid (maximum $20,000) is required. The successful contractor must maintain $1 million commercial general liability insurance per occurrence, $1 million automobile liability coverage combined single limit, and statutory workers' compensation coverage, with the Township named as additional insured on all policies. Written inquiries are due no later than eight business days prior to bid opening.
