A new three-story, roughly 198,000-square-foot high school for 1,080 students in grades 9 through 12, on a 5-acre Newark site, with sidewalk, plaza, landscaping, a running track and a physical education field. The authority's own construction cost estimate is $121.7 million to $128 million. This is design-build: the prime holds the contract, carries its design consultant as a subconsultant, and has to name its plumbing, HVAC, electrical and structural steel subcontractors in the proposal. Every one of those firms needs New Jersey DPMC classification and NJSDA prequalification in place on the day proposals go in, so start that paperwork before pricing. Proposals are due Oct. 6 and bids open Oct. 21. Addendum 4 was issued Sept. 1 — check the bid documents for the current scope. Out-of-area (New Jersey) bid — this NJSDA design-build solicitation is based in New Jersey, not New York City; listed for contractors who also bid NJ school work. The NJ Schools Development Authority is seeking design-build proposals for a new University High School in Newark, estimated between $122 million and $128 million; the due date has moved twice by addendum since the original posting.
