Township Council Meeting — Packet

Project Understanding The Township of West Orange seeks qualified professionals to provide professional design services and construction administration for the reconstruction and enhancement of O’Connor Memorial Park. The Township intends to utilize HUD grant funding for the design, permitting, bidding, and construction of the project. O’Connor Memorial Park serves as an important recreational and community hub, and the Township’s proposed improvements are aimed at upgrading the facility to meet current recreational standards, enhance accessibility, and improve long-term resiliency. The proposed scope includes rehabilitation and enhancement of the existing hockey rink, handball, pickleball, and basketball courts, installation of new perimeter fencing, bleachers, and walkways, stormwater management and drainage upgrades, and lighting retrofits to the existing Musco light poles. The project will also require careful coordination with HUD requirements. PS&S has extensive experience delivering successful municipal parks, athletic facilities, and HUD-funded community improvement projects throughout New Jersey. Our in-house civil engineering, landscape architecture, and surveying teams have worked collaboratively on numerous municipal park projects, including the O’Connor Memorial Park Tennis Court Improvements completed in 2020 and the Edison Housing Authority’s Basketball and Tennis Court Improvements completed in 2024. This recent experience provides our team with a strong familiarity with the site and the design expectations of the Township, as well as a proven track record of completing similar projects in full compliance with HUD and municipal standards.
