The project scope covers demolition and environmental cleanup at 99 Kuller Road, construction of three new buildings on NJ TRANSIT-owned sites, and improvements such as site grading, new access roads, and parking.

The RFQ introduces a Special Prequalification process to select top design-build teams. Evaluation will focus on technical skills, experience, and clear project strategies. Shortlisted firms will then advance to the RFP stage for detailed proposals.

This investment underscores NJ TRANSIT’s commitment to safety, resilience, and operational excellence. Once complete, the facility will serve as a cornerstone for modern rail maintenance and future infrastructure growth across the network.
