Reiman Re: Fee Estimate for Professional Engineering Services for: 2022 RAISE Intermodal Grant Benefit -Cost Analysis Ferry Terminal Building and Site Improvements Borough of Carteret, Middlesex County, New Jersey Proposal No. 2022 -093 Dear Mayor Reiman: We are pleased to have the opportunity to present our fee estimate for professional engineering services for the above - referenced project. This fee estimate outlines the scope and costs of services necessary for CME Associates to support the Borough's application for the 2022 Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant by developing the required benefit -cost analysis (BCA) to demonstrate the cost effectiveness of the project. We understand the Borough is seeking RAISE Intermodal Grant funding in the amount of approximately $20 million dollars to support the construction of the Municipal Ferry Terminal, site and vehicular access improvements, and waterside improvements. Our team has already begun coordinating with Millennium Strategies and is attending weekly status update meetings in order to meet the grant deadline of April 14, 2022. The USDOT has established specific and detailed guidelines for the development of BCAs in their March 2022 document entitled "Benefit -Cost Analysis Guidance for Discretionary Grant Programs" which will be utilized as a basis for the analysis. Our office will draw upon the following market demographic, ridership, and technical reports within the framework of the USDOT BCA requirements: • Proposed Carteret Passenger Ferry Expanded Ridership Demand Study, prepared by Rutgers University, dated October 23, 2018; • Carteret Ferry Feasibility Study, prepared by Nelson Nygaard, dated December 2016; and, • Carteret Ferry Terminal Traffic Impact Study, prepared by McCormick - Taylor, dated May 2021 S:1Cartere0roposelsl22 -03 -22 - 2022 -092 -RAISE Grant Ferry BCAAm CONSULTING AND MUNICIPAL ENGINEERS 1460 ROUTE 9 SOUTH • HOWELL, NEW JERSEY 07731 a (732) 462 -7400 • FAX: (732) 409.0766 ASSOCIATES Mayor Daniel J. Reiman Borough of Carteret Re: Estimate of Fees for Professional Engineering Services 2022 RAISE Intermodal Grant BCA — Carteret Ferry Terminal With this in mind, we offer the following scope of services: Benefit -Cost Analysis Preparation March 22, 2022 Proposal No. 2022 -093 Page 2 Our office will work in support of the application to prepare a thorough BCA which draws upon published metrics, standards, and engineering economics principles, including the following: 1. Identification, quantification, and comparison of expected economic benefits and costs of the project, including but not limited to the following as provided for in available publications related to the project: a. Capital construction costs; b. Fixed and variable costs related to operations, staffing, and utilities; c. Long -term maintenance costs; d. Residual benefits; and, e. Assignment of values to various benefits associated with modal diversion, including, but not limited to: Safety benefits (relative safety improvement of ferry versus car travel); ii) Travel time savings (time saved in traffic congestion); iii) Operational cost savings; iv) Emissions reduction benefits (S02, NOx, PM2,5, and CO2) as a function of reduced fuel consumption; v) Quality of life, property value, and health benefits (walking and biking to ferry); and, vi) Resilience benefits; 2. Examination of the above - factors over an established analysis period while accounting for the DOT - recommended 7% discount rate and inflation adjustments; 3. Preparation of a detailed report and calculations of the above to establish a positive net present value (NPV) and benefit -cost ratio (BCR) for the project and thereby establishing the cost - effectiveness of the application; and, 4. Coordination with USDOT economists during the BCA review process as needed. We estimate our fees for the above services to be $0.00. Should you accept our fee estimate, kindly provide a purchase order or professional services resolution authorizing same. S. \Carteret\ProposaIM22 -03 -22- 2022 -092 -RAISE Grant Ferry BCA.doex ° /
