Contract AwardCapital ProjectsDetected Jun 22, 2026

Livingston Township has awarded a contract for the historic rehabilitation of the Force Homestead, a project for which they pre-qualified contractors via an RFQ in late 2025 and then bid out in early 2026. After pre-qualifying three firms and receiving one bid by the April 8, 2026 deadline, Reliable NYC, LLC was selected as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The Township Council authorized the Township Manager on June 22, 2026 to enter into a contract with Reliable NYC, LLC for an amount not to exceed 1999000, funded from account T-14-54-945-001-000 and supported by New Jersey Historic Trust and Municipal Open Space funding lines elsewhere on the agenda.While the prime rehabilitation contract is now awarded, this creates follow-on opportunities for specialty trades, preservation consultants, interpretive design, security, and technology integration that may be subcontracted or added through change orders as the architectural team and Township refine the scope. Vendors can also position for future site improvements, exhibits, or programming once the core rehabilitation work progresses.

Three contractors were pre-qualified; only one bid was ultimately submitted for the construction phase.

Public Updates

Hitech Hospitality requested a 12.5-foot waiver from the 45-foot maximum building height to build a hotel at 2914 E 32nd St. This was a variance case, so the city was reviewing land-use approval rather than buying a service. The signal matters because the hotel project could drive future construction, design, and site work once approvals are complete.

Public Updates

Built by BL LLC requested a 20-foot waiver from the 25-foot rear setback for a single-family home at 827 S Empire Ave. The item was a variance hearing, not a procurement award. It is still useful because it points to a private residential build that may lead to design, construction, and site-related spending after approval.
