Re: Waterfront Park Improvements
Project Coordination and Permits
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
At your request, T&M Associates is continuing to provide overall project coordination for the
waterfront park project. As I have reported, the project has been divided into two separate phases·
Phase I consists of the new timber fishing pier and precast concrete boat ramp, and Phase II consists
of a passive recreation park area on the remainder of the parcel· Phase I of the project was
advertised for public bids early in October 2001 and we are scheduled to receive bids on Tuesday,
October 30, 2001. The estimated cost of Phase I is approximately $1.75 million·
As previously reported, several of the project permits, including the New Jersey Department of
Enviromnental Protection Wetlands and Waterfront Development, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
and the Freehold Soil Conservation District permits, were received for the project several years ago.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit expired in April 2000. Although initially we were
advised by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers that an permit extension would be acceptable, we have
recently learned that they are requiring a new application be filed for the project, with a 30-day
comment period requirement. Additional approvals, which are necessary for the project include an
NJDEP approval of the proposed capping system for portions of the site and a Soil Erosion and
Sediment Control certification due to the wetlands mitigation area which is included in Phase I. We
are currently pursuing the necessary permits and approvals and do not anticipate a significant delay
in awarding a construction contract for Phase I. Also regarding Phase I, we are currently working
with an adjacent property owner to obtain a Temporary Construction Access Easement.
Regarding Phase II, we are currently developing an updated conceptual improvement plan for the
park. This work is necessary to provide the Borough with a full understanding of the Phase II
improvements, along with an estimated cost and a plan for future acquisitions of adjacent
properties. The adjacent property is desirable to provide a permanent access and parking amenities
for the overall waterfront park· ~t~
