Scope of Irnprovements The 2011 Road Program consists of two elements. A Base Repair Contract to be bid by the Borough and pavement milling and overlay by the County Highway Department. The Program includes pavement base repairs after the County milling and prior to the County overlay of each street. Included in this year's program are the following roads: • Oakwood Avenue (Herman Street to Clauss Street) • Buchanan Street (Carteret Avenue to Coolidge Avenue) • Harrison Avenue (Carteret Avenue to Roosevelt Avenue) • Hickory Street (Leber Avenue to Soltes Avenue) • Swarthmore Drive (Harrison Avenue to Harrison Avenue) • Kurdyla Avenue (Wortylko Street to Poplar Street) The estimated construction cost for the 2011 Road Program is $750,000 excluding unknown sanitary sewer repairs or replacements. in addition to milling, base repair and overlay, the improvements anticipated include upgrades to handicap ramps; inlet replacement or repairs; and minor curb, sidewalk, and driveway apron replacement as may be required. Upon authorization from the Borough, we are prepared to proceed with the design phase work for the 2011 Road Program, as described below.

Once the base maps are prepared, we will conduct field investigations to inspect pavement condition. The base maps will be used to record pavement base repair locations and quantities. 3. We will arrange for and obtain pavement cores for each street in the program to determine pavement thickness and presence or absence of concrete below the asphalt surface. 4. We will prepare a key map plan and typical pavement repair detail to be included in the specifications for public bidding, 5. Specifications will be based on the 2007 NJDOT Standard Specifications and will be prepared in T &M Associates' format. 6. We will coordinate televising of affected sanitary sewers with the Borough Sewer Department; review and the video tapes; identify require improvements; and provide a written report to the Borough of our findings. 7. We will include selective sewer replacement and repairs in the Base Repair Bid Documents based on the results of the video investigation, It is not anticipated that extensive sewer replacement will be required, rather it is contemplated that only minor isolated sections of pipe will require repair. 8. Upon completion of final engineering documents, a construction cost estimate will be prepared. 9. Upon completion and approval of the final design documents, T &M Associates will print and distribute specifications to prospective contractors. Cost of printing will be offset by the purchase price of the plans and specifications. a9a Le: Mayor Daniel Reiman Borough of Carteret Re: 2011 Road Program Professional Services CART -cool June 24, 2011 Page 3 10. T &M Associates will answer any questions that arise during the bidding phase of the project from prospective bidders. 11. T &M Associates will attend the bid opening with the appropriate Borough Officials. 12. We will received the bids received and make a recommendation of award to the Borough. Sanitary Sewer Investigation and Design As noted above, the Design Phase Services include coordinating the televising of sanitary sewer lines located within roads to be resurfaced; review of the internal inspection videos; and including minor sewer repair or replacement work in the contract bid documents. However, we have been informed that the portions of the Borough's sanitary sewer system within Harrison Avenue and Swarthmore Drive surcharge at times and are believed to have significant sewer capacity issues. Therefore, it is likely that significant sewer system improvements will be required. Due to the unknown sanitary sewer investigations, capacity analyses, and design effort that may be required, any and all services related to these issues are specifically excluded from this scope of services and fee estimate and the required services will be the subject of a separate design and inspection services proposal. Based on the above scope of services, we will provide the following contract administration and inspection phase services for the project. The construction inspection effort will be accomplished in three phases — Pre - Construction, Construction and Post Construction. Pre - Construction Phase T &M will request the contractor prepare and submit its proposed baseline project schedule. Included in the project schedule will be the contractor's submittal schedule outlining the submission of shop drawings and submittal documents. Upon receipt of contract documents and prior to the start of any site activity, we will conduct a pre - construction meeting. All participants of the project team will be invited to this kick -off meeting — Borough personnel involved in day -to -day operations that interface with the work; contractor; utility reps, as required, and our construction team. At this meeting, among other topics, there will be an exchange of requirements, needs and protocols necessary for the project, A police representative will be invited; and a procedure for notifying local residents will be determined. ASSOCIATES Le: Mayor Daniel Reiman Borough of Carteret Re: 2011 Road Program Professional Services Construction CART -G1101 June 24, 2011 Page 4 Our construction team, under my overall guidance, consists of individuals each with a specific role and responsibility in carrying out the construction management plan, The Project Manager (PM) has day -to -day responsibility for contract administration. He and his inspection team will monitor performance with the baseline schedule and contracted costs. The team will perform the required inspection and conduct bi- weekly job meetings as necessary to discuss performance to -date, any design and contract issues and upcoming tasks and plans for their implementation. We will produce and distribute minutes of all meetings. Our staff will provide part -time construction coverage Monday through Friday. As necessitated by the contractor's work schedule, on -site inspection will be provided, as required, beyond an eight - hour workday and Saturdays. In the field, our staff will oversee the construction activity including performing and documenting inspections to determine if the work is done in general conformance with the contract plans and specifications. We will notify the contractor in writing of any unacceptable work or material, track the deficient condition and inspect the work until it is corrected. We will address surrounding property and general public concerns that may arise during the construction phase. We will work closely with the neighboring property owners to achieve timely and efficient completion of the work with minimal disruption and inconvenience to the residents, while maintaining a safe work zone. Monthly contractor payment requisitions will be processed by our office, Pay items will be checked for accuracy with field measurements taken during the month, Post - Construction During this phase, we will perform a final inspection of work with involvement from the Borough as desired, issue a punchlist to the contractor, as necessary, and expedite corrections. Particular attention will be given to the restoration of adjacent property. We will manage the contract closeout process, including execution of any affidavits, release of liens, production of maintenance bond, warranties /guarantees, operations and maintenance manuals and other technical data, as required; and prepare paperwork and documentation needed for project closeout.
