Summary of Specifications:
The County of Morris is soliciting proposals from Professional Engineers, licensed to practice in the State of New Jersey, to provide Engineering Design Services for Replacement of three (3) bridges, County Bridge No. 1400-629 on County Route 510 (Mendham Road) over a Tributary to Burnett Brook in the Townships of Chester and Mendham, County Bridge No. 1400-653 on Foxchase Road over Peapack Brook in the Township of Chester and County Bridge No. 1401-107 on Flanders-Drakestown Road over South Branch of the Raritan River in the Township of Mount Olive, New Jersey. This project is for the replacement of the above listed bridges to carry AASHTO HS20-44 (MS 18) + 25% (HS25) Live Loads (as per section 3.7 Highway Loads – New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) Design Manual for Bridges and Structures – current edition with amendments and modifications). Engineering Design Services shall include all phases of engineering; preparation of bid documents (plans and specifications), field surveys and investigations, reviewing existing bridge construction plans and inspection reports, utility coordination, and staged construction with traffic controls and/or detours as needed. The County anticipates that the bridge replacements to be looked at will require New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) permits; The County requests that consultants discuss with the NJDEP the permit requirements and in their proposal provide a separate cost to obtain those permits, as needed. The County is requiring that the consultant complete their design so that construction may begin no later than June, 2012 and be completed by the end of December, 2012.
