Specifications include, but are not limited to: Professional Engineering services are needed for the preparation of plans and bid documents for a new bridge. The Engineering and site design concepts provided by Monmouth County Park System (MCPS) are to be further developed by the Consultant, working collaboratively with park staff. Much of the work has been done. NJDEP and NJPDES soil erosion permits were obtained. A geotechnical report was also completed, as well as preliminary layout plans and specifications for the bridge construction, see appendix. The Park System is proposing the removal of the Waackaack Creek bridge leaving the existing timber abutments in place. Piles will be cut flush at the mudline. New concrete and helical pile foundations will be constructed landward of the existing abutments on either side of the channel. A prefabricated steel bridge with timber decking is being proposed to span the entire waterway. All construction and erection will be completed from either side of the stream channel and be restricted to the existing asphalt paved trail. The existing bridge is 105’ long. The new bridge will be 120’ long so it spans the existing foundations.
