The existing Municipal Building was environmentally remediated under a separate Contract, during which substantial portions of its interior were demolished. Because these are the conditions with which the General Contractor will have to work, bidders are being given two opportunities to walk through the building and observe its conditions. Although bidders are not required to inspect the building, they are strongly encouraged to do so, as submission of a Bid constitutes a representation by Bidder that he has familiarized itself with all existing conditions and construction. Bidders that wish for an accompanied walk-through of the building may do so by visiting it at 375 Millburn Avenue, Millburn, NJ 07041, between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM on Wednesday, July 1, 2026 or between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM on Tuesday, July 7, 2026. Meet at the Millburn Avenue entrance, where attendance will be taken. No other opportunities will be given bidders to inspect the interior of the existing building.
Each Bid must be enclosed in a sealed envelope bearing the name and address of the Bidder, name of the Project, and name of the Contract (“General Contract”) on the outside of the envelope and must be received at or prior to the time and date designated for receipt of Bids, and the envelope must be addressed to “Township of Millburn”.
