New Jersey issues RFQ for New Jersey Wind Port Construction Manager
The New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) has issued a Request of Qualifications (RFQ) for Construction Management Services related to the development of the New Jersey Wind Port, a first-of-its-kind offshore wind manufacturing and marshalling facility located in Lower Alloways Creek.
The New Jersey Wind Port is a first-in-the-nation infrastructure investment that will provide a location for essential staging, assembly, and manufacturing activities related to offshore wind projects on the East Coast. The Wind Port has the potential to create up to 1,500 manufacturing, assembly, and operations jobs, as well as hundreds of construction jobs in New Jersey. Manufacturing and marshalling projects supported by the Wind Port will drive economic growth in Salem County, in South Jersey, and throughout the state.
Construction of the New Jersey Wind Port is planned in two phases, beginning in 2021. Phase 1 will comprise the development of an approximately 30-acre site to accommodate marshalling activities and an approximately 35-acre Tier 1 component manufacturing site. Phase 2 adds a further 150 acres or more to accommodate expanded marshalling activities and extensive manufacturing facilities for turbine components like blades and nacelles.
The selected Construction Manager (CM) will perform both Pre-Construction and Construction services to execute on the NJEDA’s proposed design. The project will be subject to a Project Labor Agreement (PLA), which will help to ensure local union workers have the opportunity to work on the project and that it is completed on schedule. In line with the Authority’s goal to use the project to set a new standard for diversity and inclusion, the selected CM will be required to make a good-faith effort to ensure at least 15 percent of the contract value is subcontracted to women-, minority-, or veteran-owned businesses.
The RFQ responses are due by 1:00 p.m. on January 5, 2021.
