Grand Ave Pedestrian Safety Improvements (NJDOT Funded)

This document functions as an executive summary and bid tabulation for the Grand Avenue Pedestrian Safety Improvements project within the City of Hackensack, New Jersey. This vital infrastructure initiative is supported by NJDOT funding under the LA-2023 program. The comprehensive scope of work encompasses critical civil engineering and construction activities including mobilization/demobilization, thorough site clearing, implementation of robust maintenance and protection of traffic protocols, and the deployment of traffic directors/flaggers. Specific construction elements involve the installation of inlet filters, 9" x 18" concrete vertical curbs, 4" thick concrete sidewalks, 6" thick reinforced concrete sidewalks, and detectable warning surfaces to enhance accessibility and safety. Further tasks include HMA milling (up to 3" thick), application of Hot Mix Asphalt 9.5M64 surface course, resetting existing castings, installing various inlet types (A and B), Curb Piece Type N-Eco, and bicycle safe grates. The project also mandates the installation of 8" ductile iron pipe, resetting gas and water valves, relocating signage, furnishing and installing LED Stop Sign R1-1, applying long-life thermoplastic traffic marking lines (4", 8", 24"), and detailed landscaping work such as 4" thick topsoiling, Type A-3 fertilizing and seeding, and straw mulching, culminating in final cleanup. An allowance for unforeseen conditions is also provisioned within the contract.
