Section 1 Executive Summary Experience dictates that the best municipal engineering team is always responding to the needs of the Township. Timely responses are ingrained in our Township of West Orange team through the anticipation and planning for the task at hand, as well as, for the tasks to follow. Neglia Group has designed, bid on, and managed several key projects for many municipal entities within the last 5 years. Many projects were funded with blended grants (i.e., CDBG and NJDEP) and municipal funds. In this challenging “capped’ environment for New Jersey’s local governing bodies; we have successfully taken projects from grant applications to final payment vouchers. During construction, we are mindful of the sponsor(s) payment process and guide the contractor and the local governing body through allowable scope changes and potential reimbursement issues. Why Neglia Group? Because-we are best characterized by three words: Experienced, Dedicated, Responsive. Michael J. Neglia and the Neglia team are ready and professionally capable to take municipal projects from the preconstruction meeting to project closeout. We look forward to our contribution to improve township amenities for West Orange residents.

Company Technical Skills Construction Supervision/Management Thanks to our staff’s wealth of technical capabilities and experience, Neglia Group is uniquely qualified to oversee every phase of construction for all types of engineering projects. By paying close mindfulness, we help ensure the final project is in accordance with plans and specifications, and that payments to the contractor truly reflect the work performed. Our expert staff of professional engineers, construction managers, resident engineers and inspectors coordinate each phase of construction, from initial survey through completion. Many of our observers and inspectors are NICET and 40 Hour Hazwoper certified. In addition to our knowledgeable staff, Neglia Group utilizes computerized field operation systems to promote accurate revisions and facilitate on-the-spot modifications. At Neglia Group, the project tone is set at the preconstruction meeting and sustained throughout the development. Our construction administration staff persistently tracks project quantities to maintain fiscal responsibility. We generate engineering certifications for payment recommendations to the client and strive to keep the contractor and client within agency payment cycles. While we track installed quantities, we also develop punch lists as needed to bring the project to completion.

Traffic Signal Design, Timing, Operation and Modification Our general approach to new traffic signals and traffic signal modifications is a four-step process: project the traffic volumes for the implementation year, run Highway Capacity and Synchro Analyses to determine optimal signal timing, layout above ground plan for client approval, and complete plans, specifications, and engineering certifications. Maintenance and Protection of Traffic Plans (MPTs), Specifications and Estimates Neglia considers the context of capital improvements; the coordination of managing traffic is a key determinant on the feasibility of a project and increased cost due to overnight construction-if needed. Neglia makes a sincere effort to learn the needs of the area in which the work will be performed. For instance, if roadway work affects a shopping area, then construction staging and detour routes need to be implemented, this way a balance is achieved between the needs of the project and the needs of the affected community. We routinely submit MPT plans to state agencies for public and private projects. We can produce digital products in both AutoCAD and MicroStation formats. Accident Analysis and Countermeasure Development for High-Frequency Locations Upon receipt of accident data, the accident data is plotted out by type on a sketch of the location in question. The data set usually covers a three (3) year or a ten (10) year period. Once plotted, the accident location and frequencies help to visualize the predominant cause of accidents. Once a visual understanding of the accident trends is established, then countermeasure options can be developed. TRAFFIC OPERATIONAL
