NJ 07052 Re: Proposal for Professional Services Oskar Schindler Performing Arts Center (OSPAC) and Crystal Lake Improvements Dear Ms. Carballo: Greenman-Pedersen, Incorporated (GPI) is pleased to submit our proposal for professional services related to improvements at the Oskar Schindler Performing Arts Center (OSPAC) and the adjoining Crystal Lake. The specific scope of work is set forth in the Request for Proposals, issued by the Township of West Orange and dated October 11, 2024, as may be clarified herein. In our review of the Request for Proposals, we note that the scope includes activities that will require permitting from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) while other activities do not. This office is recommending that the Township consider bidding those items requiring NJDEP approvals separate from those that do not. By splitting the project into two bid schedules the ordering of potential long-lead items, including but not limited to the electronic entrance sign, site furniture and playground equipment, will not be delayed by the NJDEP review process. Our November 28, 2023 Qualifications Statement submitted to the Township demonstrates that our experienced staff can handle the project. Enclosed for your review is our Proposal to Provide Professional Engineering Services, dated October 25, 2024. We are pleased to have this opportunity to be of continued service to the Township of West Orange and hope you will find our proposal favorable. We would be happy to provide additional information or assistance as your needs dictate.
