Design Services for Drainage Replacement, Milling, and Paving of South Mill Road

The City of Vineland awarded a professional‑services contract to Keller Engineers of NJ, LLC for the design of drainage replacement, milling, and resurfacing of the 0.5‑mile segment of South Mill Road between Landis Avenue and Chestnut Avenue. The contract is a cost‑plus fixed‑fee arrangement with a ceiling of $134,007.76 and was granted after an open RFP process that received eight proposals.

The city’s procurement officials (Mayor, City Clerk, Purchasing Agent) authorized the award, and the vendor is prohibited from assigning the contract without written consent. Key compliance obligations include New Jersey anti‑discrimination statutes, EEO/affirmative‑action reporting, and a political‑contribution certification. • Scope: Full design package (pre‑design, surveys, data analysis, plans, specs, permits, cost estimates). • Financials: Not‑to‑exceed $134,007.76; cost‑plus fixed‑fee methodology. • Timeline: Design work must be ready for final PS&E submission on or before 1 Oct 2026. • Procurement: Open competition, eight bidders, award made 25 Aug 2026, contract executed 27 Aug 2026.
