Re: Fee Estimate for Professional Engineering and Surveying Services for
NJDOT FY2022 LFIF Grant Program
Improvements to Port Carteret Drive
Borough of Carteret, Middlesex County, NJ
Proposal No. 2022-317
Dear Mayor;
We are pleased to present our estimate of fees for professional engineering services for the above -
referenced project.
In 2022, our office conducted traffic and speed studies along the roadways in support of the Borough's
application to the NJDOT's Local Freight Impact Fund (LFIF). These studies concluded that Port
Carteret Drive saw an average daily traffic (ADT) count 1,165, with large truck traffic percentages of
58%, exceeding the minimum 10% criterion.
Our office prepared a scope of work, cost estimate, and grant application to the LFIF for necessary
Improvements to these roadways. The preliminary construction estimate for the reconstruction and
resurfacing of the roadways as submitted to the NJDOT was approximately $1,308,941.50, NJDOT
awarded a grant in the amount of $1,000,000.00 toward these improvement efforts. These
improvements will be a continuation of a previous project undertaken by the Borough and our office
along Industrial Road,
Based upon the award amount, we anticipate the scope will include the mill and overlay of the existing
asphalt portion of the roadway, and the removal and replacement of the concrete portion of the access
road with full depth hot mix asphalt. Our revised cost estimate for this work is approximately
$1,063,000,00.
The improvements will include the following:
The project limits for Port Carteret Drive are from the intersection of Middlesex Ave to the concrete
pavement parking lot near the former USMR pier;
A combination of mill & overlay or full reconstruction as needed of the existing roadways;
Concrete curb and storm sewer reconstruction where required to improve drainage;

will coordinate with the NJDOT Local Aid office to receive authorization to bid the project,
review pre -construction and post-constructlon submissions and process payment vouchers to
