Spring Valley Ave Pedestrian Safety Improvements (NJDOT Funded)

The City of Hackensack, New Jersey, received bids for the Spring Valley Avenue Pedestrian Safety Improvements project, which is funded by the NJDOT (LA-2024). This comprehensive public works initiative is designed to enhance pedestrian safety along Spring Valley Avenue and includes a wide range of infrastructure upgrades. The project's scope encompasses the construction of new concrete sidewalks (4" and 6" thick, including reinforced sections), installation of detectable warning surfaces, and the placement of 9" x 18" concrete vertical curbs. Critical traffic safety elements such as Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) complete with pole packages are specified, alongside the installation of various traffic marking lines (4", 8", 24" long-life thermoplastic) to improve roadway visibility and guidance. Additional base bid items include site mobilization, clearing, tree and stump removal, topsoiling, fertilizing, seeding, reset existing castings, inlet filters, and a contract allowance for unforeseen conditions. The project further details three alternative bids for roadway resurfacing across distinct segments of Spring Valley Avenue, from Station 0+00 to 23+66. These alternate bids involve HMA milling (3" or less), application of Hot Mix Asphalt 9.5M64 Surface Course, and Hot Mix Asphalt 19M64 Base Course (if and where directed). Other resurfacing-related tasks include dense-graded aggregate base course installation, unclassified excavation, and resetting various utility castings and valves (water, gas, inlet, manhole).
