The Consulting firm for this project shall provide all the requisite professional engineering services necessary for the demolition and total replacement of Bridge W-17 on Glendola Road over Wreck Pond Brook in the Township of Wall, Monmouth County. Bridge W-17 is comprised of two spans consisting of a timber superstructure supported on a timber substructure. The bridge has an overall length of approximately 33 feet. The existing cross section consists of two (2) 11-foot travel lanes in each direction for a curb-to-curb width of approximately 22 feet. The out-to-out width of the bridge is approximately 24 feet. The bridge has an estimated Average Daily Traffic (ADT) of 100 and has a posted speed limit of 25 mph. Glendola Road is a dead-end roadway. Bridge W-17 is considered structurally deficient. The structure is posted for 15 tons. The proposed design will include the demolition and complete removal of the existing structures and the construction of one (1) new structure and approach roadways to meet current structural, hydraulic, and environmental standards. The replacement structure shall accommodate two (2) lanes of traffic, two (2) shoulders and at least one (1) sidewalk. The Consultant should prepare an Alternative Analysis Report which evaluates at least three (3) concepts for the new bridge configuration, including lane widths, shoulders, sidewalks, vertical and horizontal alignments, and transitions. Each concept shall identify the corresponding major impacts, including but not limited to permit requirements, right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation, and associated hard and soft cost estimate. The Consultant shall also recommend one (1) concept for advancement to final design and state reasons for that recommendation. The structural span length and hydraulic opening shall be determined by the Design Engineer based on hydraulic analysis in accordance with the current Monmouth County and NJDOT standards, NJDEP permitting regulations and other relevant considerations. Interested Consultants who consider themselves well qualified for the anticipated work should have specialized expertise in the area of bridge design, roadway design, staged construction, accelerated bridge construction, hydrology and hydraulics and environmental permitting.
