No.: LP241377 Dear Ms. Carballo: In response to your Request for Proposal (RFP) dated November 19, 2024, H2M is pleased to present this Proposal to the Township for providing Professional Engineering Services for design for the above- referenced project. The following outlines our Project Understanding, Scope of Services, and Engineering Fee and Billing Method.

The improvements include a combination of milling and resurfacing, pavement striping, curbs and sidewalk repairs, aprons, driveway repair, new ADA-compliant curb ramps, and restoration of manholes and catch basins and replacement of their castings at several locations as generally outlined in the RFP. The extent and type of improvements will be made after a walkthrough inspection with the Township Engineer that will take place after the award of the Contract for Engineering Services. The proposed improvements do not include road widening, changes in vertical or horizontal alignment, changes to existing underground utilities, changes to existing guide rails, or construction of new sidewalks. As on other projects, the Township's construction inspector will determine the 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 in the drawings. All construction will take place within existing rights-of-way. Therefore, boundary surveys or preparation of easements/right-of-way widening are not needed and are not included in the scope of services.
