Re: Engineer's Status Report
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
I am writing to keep you apprised of the progress of engineering projects ongoing in the Borough. hz that regard, I
offer the following:
Road & Infrastructure Improvements
1. Marion Street Reconstruction - On May 20th, the Borough Council a~varded a
construction contract for the reconstructinn of Marion Street from Coolidge Avenue to
Mulberry Street to Star of the Sea Concrete Corp. in the amount of $278,825. The
award is contingent upon NJDOT concurrence and NJDOT providing additional
discretionary funds in the amount of $100,000 to cover a shortfall in funding. The
shortfall is the result of a request by NJ'DOT to reconstruct the road using "Superpave"
pavement specifications, a new NJDOT approved asphalt design mix which can
achieve higher compaction densities and, therefore, result in a longer pavement life.
We are awaiting a formal response form NJ'DOT regarding the additional discretionary
funding so that the project award will be complete and the contracts prepared. We
anticipate construction could begin in late June and be completed by mid August.
2. 2004 Road Program - The 2004 Road Program consists of two separate construction
contracts. The first is the Miscellaneous Base Repair Contract and the second is the
Road Reconstruction Contract.
Base Repair Contract - Bids were received for the Base Repair Contract on June 1st.
The low bidder is DeFino Contracting in the amount of $183,800. The Engineer's
estimate for the project is $221,000. We have recommended award to DeFino for this
work under separate cover.
The project consists of base repair work on ten (10) streets and the Annex Parking Lot
that will receive asphalt overlay by the Middlesex County Highway Dept. The roads
included are Colgan Ave., Wor~lko Ave., Dunster St., Markowitz Ave., Bernath
St., John St., Charles St., Poplar St., South Whittier St., a two block area of
Carteret Ave and the Annex Parking Lot. All improvements are locally funded.
The County has submitted an inter-local agreement to the Borough for the project,
however, they have not provided a defin/tive construction schedule. The cost of the
County overlay work is estimated at $379,779.20.

Re: Engineer's Status Report
Local Road Reconstruction - The second part of the Road Program are improvements
to local streets. Hastings Place (Harrison to Wedgewood) and Wedgewood Drive
(Harrison to Monroe), and Sycamore Street (Hagaman Street to Daniel Street) are to
be reconstructed. Work on Patrick Street consists of concrete curb and gutter
replacement on the northern half of the road where local ponding occurs regularly. The
estimated construction cost for these improvements is $382,500 and is all locally
funded. Field survey and base mapping are complete for Hastings and Wedgewood.
Field survey is scheduled for Patrick Street the ~veek of June 7th. The schedule for the
project is to advertise for public bids in refid July and initiate construct/on in late August.
3. 2003 Road Program - Star of the Sea Concrete Corporation has completed work on
the 2003 Road Prograrn. The project consisted of the reconstruction of Oakwood Place
and Polar Street from Coolidge Avenue to Hagaman Street. The Poplar Street work
also included replacement of 200 LF of 8" sanitary sewer main that settled and was in
poor condition. Other related improvements consisted of full concrete curb and gutter
replacement and sidewalk replacement as necessary.
The total construction cost of the project is $414,444 of wh/ch $194,000 consisted of
the Poplar Street improvements, w[nch ~vas funded by the NJDOT through the
municipal aid program. The NY/DOT has completed their fmal walk through and m/nor
punchlist items remain to be addressed. This work is schedule for the week of June 7th.
Once all punclzlist work is complete and acceptable, we will request full financial
reimbursement from the NJDOT.
4. Roosevelt Avenue Pedestrian Improvements - Diamond Construction Co. has
completed all project work on the Roosevelt Avenue Pedestrian Improvement Program.
The project consisted of new crosswalks, handicap ramp installation, and sidewalk
firtprovements along Roosevelt Avenue from Post Boulevard to Frederick Street.
Coordination with the County was necessary since Roosevelt Avenue is a County
Road.
The project was funded by an NJDOT municipal aid grant under the "pedestrian
improvement" category in the amount of $150,000. NJDOT has completed their final
[nspection and identified minor punchlist items that they have requested be addressed.
Diamond Construction is scheduled to address the punchlist items the week of May
31st. Once complete, we will proceed to make final payment and will follow-up with
final NJDOT grant reinubursement.
5. ' Sportsman Field Rehabilitation - Country View [nc. has completed rehabilitation of
the Pop Warner Football Field. The new field is a Class A field with sod and an
automatic irrigation system. As requested, we have approached the contractor to
provide additional perimeter fencing at both end zones to fully enclose the field. The
extra work can be completed within the original contract funds available. I understand

Re: Engineer's Status Report
from our local reps. that the regional Pop Warner League has certified the field for
league play.
6. 2002 Road Program - Work on the 2002 Road Program is complete with the
exception of a limited amount of traffic striping which is scheduled for the week of
June 7t~. Little Rascal Concrete Company has hired a £mancial advisor, Frank
Ambrosio, to assist them and their Bonding Company in closing out the project. The
NIDOT has completed their £mal inspection and has noted that the traffic striping
remains.
We are currently preparing a Final Change Order and Payment Certificate along with a
summary of all project costs to date. The Borough has incurred costs for various
pavement repairs and the complete reconstruction of a 500 foot section of Middlesex
Avenue as part of this project along with associated inspection costs, therefore, prior to
making final payment monies owed the Borough will be deducted from the payment
certificate. Further, monies owed the Borough in excess of the fmaI payment will be
requested from the contractor's Bonding Company. The Bonding has been very
cooperative to date.
Once all financial matters are resolved, we will seek f'mal grant reimbursement from
the NJDOT, since a significant portion of the project was NJDOT funded.
II. Waterfront Projects
1. Waterfront Park, Phase I - Additional Improvements - Per your request, we
have coordinated additional work associated with the Phase I project. The work
includes 1) construction of a concrete platform and flagpole, dedication monument
and the mooring bollard, 2) new floating dock (adjacent to boat ramp), 3) boat
ramp gates, and 5) permanent electric service from PSE&G.
Remaining work includes minor work on the boat ramp gate, sod repairs and
placement of a top dressing for sodded areas, and installation of the permanent
electric services by PSE&G. The new floating dock has been ordered and
scheduled for installation in mid July.
2. Waterfront Park~ Phase II - As you are aware, the Council awarded the Phase II
contract for $1,090,610 to V&K Construction of Edison, New Jersey.
NJDEP Waterfront Development and Wetlands permits have been subnzitted for
the project. We have been advised by the NJDEP that the permit has been
approved and signed by the case manager and has been submitted for supervisor
signature. The permit should be sent to the Borough within the next 7 to 10 days.
The construction management of this project is being handled by CME Associates.

Re: Engineer's Status Report
Decorative light poles and fixtures are being ordered for the Phase II project under
a separate contract approved by the Borough with Turtle & Hughes of Linden, NJ.
The total cost for lighting is $79,950.
IH. Sanitary/Storm Sewer Proiects
1. Hill District Stormwater Pump Station - On April 14th bids were received for the
Hill District Pump Station project. The low bid was received fi.om Northeast Remsco
Constmctinn in the amount of $1,514,037.50. The bid was well below our engineer's
estimate of $2.1M and the other eight bidders. Northeast Remsco has good references
and we anticipate recommending award when the property acquisition and
envirormaental permit issues are solidified. The Borough has 60 days to award the
contract, however, we have obtained a 60 day extension for the award through August
14a,.
We are also working with Borough Attorney Robert Bergen xvith on negotiations with
BP Amoco regarding perrmssion to continue stormwater discharges to its property.
Property acquisition and easement documents have been provided to Borough Attorney
Bergen. As you are aware, it will be necessary for the Borough to acquire property the
Korkowski property and various easements from an adjacent property owner and BP
Amoco so that the project as designed can be constructed.
As a reminder, fifty-five percent (55%) of the project funding is being supplied by the
USEPA grant and the remah~ng forty-five percent (45%) is coming from a local
funding ordinance~ The technical specifications include all necessary USEPA language
and supplemental items in order to qualify for the federal funding.
It is anticipated that once filed, the enviromnental permits will take a min/mum of 120
days to be issued. If the penrdts are filed July 1st and are issued as presented,
construction could begin in October or November 2004.
2. Dorothy Street PS Influent Pipin~ Upgrade - An undersized gravity sanitary sewer
main at the intersection of Riverview and Dorothy Street which conveys flow to the
Dorothy Street PS is causing system backups during periods of high flow and requires
replacement. This main replacement has been mentioned by the NJDEP as a required
upgrade.
On the May 20th, the Council awarded a construction contract for the sewer main
replacement to Marvec Construction Corp. in the amount of $50,000. Contracts are
currently being prepared and we anticipate construction to conm~ence in August or
September when the NJDEP Treatment Works Approval Permit is issued. This project
is one of the steps which must be taken to have the West Carteret Sewer Ban lifted.

Re: Engineer's Status Report
3. Pinho Avenue Stormwater Drainage Study - At your request, we have completed a
study of the Pinho Avenue area and have reviewed several alternatives and provided a
recommendation for improvements in our February 10, 2004 letter report. Due to flae
significant cost of the improvements, which is estimated to be $825,000, we have
developed a three step phasing program. We are available at your convenience to meet
to review the details of our fmdings and recommendations.
4. West Carteret & Hill District Sanitary Sewer System Evaluation Study (SSES) -
Sanitary Sewer TV investigations and smoldng testing work for the SSES project are
complete. We are currently evaluating the results and anticipate issuing a written
sunmaary of our findings by June 30, 2004. We will be providing you with our
preliminary findings at the June 3r~ Council Agenda Meeting. We have found a
number of cross connections and intercormections between storm and sanitary sewer
systems and other system defects.
The project is on schedule with the timetable outlined in the NJDEP ACO and, as
required, we are providing monthly reports to the N~rDEP and MCUA.
IV. Grants & Loans
1. Fiscal Year 2005 NJDOT State Aid Application - Applications for roadway
improvements, pedestrian and safety projects and bikeway projects are due July 30
2004. Marion Street Phase II, Lower Roosevelt Avenue streetscape, and an Arthur Kill
waterfront bikeway Innding applications are under consideration.
2. N~IDEP Green Acres - As requested, we have submitted letters to the NJDEP Green
Acres Office requesting further consideration of the Waterfront Park, Phase II grant
application this sprig. As a second priority, we have funnally asked the Green Acres
Office to consider Multi-parks, Phase II - Carteret Park pond dredging application.
Under the property acquisition category, we have formally requested the NJDEP
consider additional funding for property acquisition under the Borough's 2003 grant
application.
3. TEA-21 Grant Program As requested by Congressman Menendez's Office, we
have revised and resubmitted the Arthur Kill Ferry Service Terminal application to
provide provisions for car transport ferry service, as well as pedestrian service. The
total funding request is for $4.2M. Indications are that the Borough may be considered
for 50% of the requested funding.
4. NJDEP Stormwater Grant - On behalf of the Borough, we have submitted a grant
application for funding from the state to assist the Borough in meeting requirements of
the nexv Stormwater Management Regulations. It is anticipated that the actual funding
available will be based on population and could be $10,000 to $20,000.

Re: Engineer's Status Report
The new Federal Phase II and NJDEP Stormwater Management Regulations became
effective February 4, 2004. The first requirement is for the Borough to amend it's Master
Plan to include a Stom~water Management element and prepare a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan by February 2005.
5. TEA-21 Federal Grant Program - It is understood that Slayton Development and
Titan Research, LLC, the landfill redeveloper for the iPORT 12 Project, has applied for
federal funding under the TEA-21 Program for construction of a site access and
railroad grade crossing for.the landfill redevelopment project. We will obtain a copy of
the application submitted. We have also been advised that the Borough will need to be
the recipient and administrator of the federal funding for the project.
