NJ TRANSIT has released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Special Prequalification for the final design, construction, and commissioning of the Northern Rail Maintenance-of-Way (MOW) facility, a major infrastructure initiative in Clifton, N.J.
The new facility will replace the aging and flood-prone Wood-Ridge location, creating a more resilient and modernized base of operations to support NJ TRANSIT’s growing maintenance and repair needs.
“This facility will provide more efficient maintenance and more dependable service by ensuring our track repair equipment remains in a state of good repair,” said NJ TRANSIT President and CEO Kris Kolluri. “With this RFQ, we’re advancing a project that directly supports the long-term reliability and safety of our rail network.”
According to an agency release, the new Clifton location will enhance NJ TRANSIT’s ability to maintain the right-of-way and railroad infrastructure by providing modernized space for maintenance, servicing, and repair of vehicles.
The design will enhance the current functions performed at the existing facility, accommodate increased maintenance demands, and incorporate updated features that meet current codes and operational needs.
The project includes:
Demolition and environmental abatement of an existing building and substructures at 99 Kuller Road.
Construction of three new buildings across two NJ TRANSIT-owned sites.
Site grading, new access roads, and dedicated parking areas.
Coordinate site utilities and integrate maintenance equipment.
The Special Prequalification process will evaluate design-build teams based on their technical qualifications, relevant experience, and project approach. Following the evaluation, NJ TRANSIT anticipates shortlisting the most qualified firms to move forward to the next phase. At that point, a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued.
