Reiman Re: Estimate of Fees for Professional Land Surveying and Engineering Services Carteret Avenue Extension Borough of Carteret, Middlesex County, New Jersey Proposal No. 2020 -102 Dear Mayor Reiman: We are pleased to present our estimate of fees for the survey, traffic engineering and conceptual design phase services for the above - referenced project. As you are aware, the Borough was awarded a $700,000 grant from the NJDOT Local Aid program for the extension of Carteret Avenue from the intersection with Roosevelt Avenue (CR602) to the intersection of Memorial Boulevard and Peter J. Sica Industrial Highway. This roadway extension will accommodate a shorter and safer route for motorists and pedestrians accessing Waterfront Park, the Municipal Marina, and the future ferry terminal. The proposed right -of -way will extend partly along an existing driveway and parking aisle in Meridian Square as well as a portion of the existing stormwater detention basin for Meridian Terrace. The preliminary construction estimate for this work is $1,096,000. The initial phase of this project will involve the necessary survey and field work to establish the right -of -way line, property lines and existing controlling factors for the proposed design. Traffic engineering and conceptual design phase scope will include, but not be limited to, performing existing traffic counts, forecasting trip generation for the future ferry terminal, performing warrant analyses for.the proposed traffic signals and modifications to existing signals. With this being said, our proposed scope of work is as follows: A. Survey and Base Map Phase Services 1. Establish a balanced control survey, traverse line with recoverable ties. Basis of the horizontal and vertical control will be the New Jersey State Plane Coordinate System, NAD 1983 U.S. Survey Foot, and NAVD 1988, respectively. Permanent points (Capped Reber, PK Nails, etc.) will be set along the control line.

GPS methodology will be used to establish horizontal and vertical control. 2. Preparation of a Topographic Plan showing natural and manmade features, including: existing above and, where possible, underground utilities, survey traverse line, spot elevations and contours at an interval of one foot within and adjacent to the project limits only. Topographic plan will be compiled from field locations and edits. Cross sections will be collected to facilitate the design process. Plan will be drafted at a scale of 1 " =30'. The limits of the survey work will be as follows: • Carteret Avenue: Locust Street to Roosevelt Avenue • Roosevelt Avenue: Middlesex Avenue to Emily Lane • Meridian Square: northern property line to 50' south of existing curb line • Meridian Terrace: existing detention basin lot • Industrial Avenue: Liebig Lane to Middlesex Avenue 3. Cross section elevations will be taken at the proposed roadway centerline, at the top and bottom of curb, existing grade breaks and edge of pavement. Spot elevations will be taken, if and where required, in order to supplement the cross - section data. 4. The bandwidth for the topographic mapping shall be 100 -feet minimum centered about the design roads. 5. Locate Right -of -Way lines in the immediate vicinity of the improvements. 6. Private property or public right -of -way lines in the immediate vicinity of the proposed improvements shall be based upon filed maps, found property corners and Tax Map information. 7. Underground utility information shall be based upon documents provided by the Borough and various utility owner(s) and those utilities that are visible at grade. 8. As -built drawings of existing utilities will be prepared to support the design process. 9. We will cooperate with the Borough to obtain surveys, designs, as -built or construction drawings, in their possession, regarding the property in question and /or immediate adjoiners for use by our office.

Easement sketches, property maps and /or metes and bounds descriptions of areas to be determined based on the ultimate design and requirements of the respective property owners, utility companies, and the County are not included in this proposal. B. Traffic Engineering and Preliminary Design Phase Services As part of this phase, CME Associates will perform a comprehensive traffic study to collect data; analyze existing conditions; perform traffic simulation modeling; and review traffic signal warrants for three (3) intersections to support the project. As the project is funded by the NJDOT, a full traffic report to legitimize the proposed traffic signals will be required, including a supporting resolution from the Borough for said signals. The proposal includes the recommended tasks needed to evaluate existing traffic conditions and future traffic conditions under improvement alternatives. We anticipate performing the following traffic study tasks which are outlined below: Collect 12 -hour pedestrian and vehicular / truck traffic volume data through manual turning movement counts at the following study intersections: Signalized intersection of Roosevelt Avenue (CR 604), Pulaski Avenue, and Middlesex Avenue Unsignalized intersection of Roosevelt Avenue (CR 604) and Carteret Avenue /Abbi Road (Meridian Square) iii. Unsignalized intersection of Industrial Highway and Waterfront Park Access Road 2. Collect AM and PM peak hour pedestrian and vehicular / truck traffic volume data through manual turning movement counts at the following study intersections: Unsignalized intersection of Industrial Highway and Middlesex Avenue ii. Signalized intersection of Roosevelt Avenue (CR 604) and Industrial Highway 3. Request and review crash data for the last three years from the Borough of Carteret at the Study Intersections 4.
