281-22 Attachment - 2022 St. Improvements Phase I-Proposal Responses.pdf

Leonard R. Lepore, P.E. October 14, 2022 Page 2 exact layout of the ADA-compliant curb ramps during construction. Estimated quantities will be included in the bid items for the curb ramps and standard New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) curb ramp details will be included on the drawings. Detailed topographic or boundary surveys or preparation of easements/right-of-way widening, therefore, are not needed and are not included in the scope of services. We will make use of planimetric and topographic mapping provided by the Township and “sid” maps available from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) to show the extent of improvements and the estimated quantities associated with the improvements on each drawing. In addition, we will add house numbers found on Township Tax Maps to the drawings for the Township and Contractor’s use during the construction phase of the project. The 13 streets are located in various parts of the Township. Our technical comments on the work to be completed are as follows: • During the design period, the Township Forester, John D. Linson, will identify the trees on each street by location, type, and diameter that are to be removed. This information will be included with the Contract Documents issued to prospective bidders for the bidder’s use in preparing his bid for various tree removal items. • Existing curb elevations will not be changed to minimize any adverse impact on roadway or private property drainage patterns. Preparation of any cut sheets or any construction stakeout will be included in the work to be bid and performed by the Contractor. Scope of Services Crew will perform the following major activities and tasks for the proposed street improvements: Design Services • Perform walkthrough assessment of each street with the Township Engineer to discuss the specific improvements planned for each street. • Prepare Contract Drawings. We anticipate that the following drawings will be prepared by Crew: - Cover Sheet – 1 drawing. - Key Map, Legend, and General Notes – 1 drawing. - Estimate of Quantities – 1 drawing. - Plan Drawings (scale 1" = 40' horizontal) of the 13 streets shown in the RFP – 12 drawings. - Construction Details, including granite block curbs, milling and

of Quantities – 1 drawing. - Plan Drawings (scale 1" = 40' horizontal) of the 13 streets shown in the RFP – 12 drawings. - Construction Details, including granite block curbs, milling and resurfacing of roadways and driveways, concrete roadway repairs and leveling courses, sidewalk improvements, and curb ramps – 4 drawings. - Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Details – 1 drawing. - Traffic Control Details – 2 drawings. • Prepare NJDOT supplementary specifications. Crew will combine the supplementary specifications with the Township’s standard administrative “front end” specifications that have been used on previous projects recently. These combined specifications will constitute the Contract Specifications. • The Contract Drawings and Contract Specifications will constitute the Bidding Documents. Crew will furnish 20 sets of Bidding Documents to the Township. • Prepare an Opinion of Probable Construction Cost.
