Summary of Specifications:
This project is for the realignment of Schooley’s Mountain Road at Camp Washington Road. The roadway shall be designed for a 35 MPH speed limit. The realignment will require a minimum of two property acquisitions which are to be included in the deliverables. The approved design concept will determine required properties. The improvements include the replacement of two bridges.
Engineering Design Services shall include all phases of engineering; preparation of bid documents, field surveys and investigations, reviewing existing bridge construction plans and inspection reports, utility coordination, and staged construction with traffic controls and/or detours. Although The County anticipates that the overall project will require New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection 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 Consultant shall study alternate schemes for the design/replacements to the bridges, including their superstructure, substructure, approaches and upgrading existing approach curbs and sidewalks where applicable.
Due to the number of vehicles using Schooley’s Mountain Road, the County is requiring that construction repair work be done while maintaining one alternating lane of traffic at all times and/or detours as needed with consultation from the Township.
CONTRACT TERM
The Project is to proceed within two (2) weeks after the issuance of a Notice to Proceed from the Morris County Purchasing Agent. The County is requiring that the consultant complete their design so that construction may begin no later than May, 2016 and be completed by the end of May, 2017.
