Re: Proposal for Conceptual Phase Services
For Proposed Marina at the Borough of Carteret Waterfront
Block 4, Lot 3
Carteret, New Jersey
Dear Mayor Reiman and Council Members:
Thank you for requesting our firm submit a proposal for the initial engineering services
for the development of a proposed marina as part of the Borough's redevelopment of its
waterfront. It is our understanding from our previous meeting that the Borough wishes to
examine the feasibility of constructing a marina within the existing cove area of the
referenced parcel.
At this time, the Borough is seeking to acquire an access easement and two parcels to
provide access and parking for the redevelopment area for which the pier construction is
currently nearing completion.
The scope of services for our proposal would be to perform preliminary testing, prepare
a concept drawing for the proposed marina and review NJDEP permitting requirements
so that the project could be advanced into the design phase. To determine the ultimate
scope of engineering services required for the project, we recommend examining the
feasibility of the project in a phased approach as follows:
~?'~. . Wetlands delineation and identification of environmentally sensitive areas.
(~ Proposed Fee $2,200.00
Task B
