This document summarizes bids received by Hamilton (Mercer) Township for the "2025 LOCAL TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS FUND PROGRAM FOR KLOCKNER RD." The comprehensive project encompasses a wide array of public works and infrastructure improvements. The scope of work includes extensive traffic control measures (barricades, signs, cones, drums, traffic control trucks with crash cushions, and a Hamilton Township Police Allowance), site clearing, and significant roadway construction. Key tasks involve milling existing pavement (3" or less), hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavement repair, pavement crack repair, application of HMA leveling course, tack coat, and HMA 12.5M64 surface course (2" to 3" compacted thickness). Additionally, the project incorporates asphalt and fuel price adjustments to accommodate market fluctuations. The project also entails substantial drainage and concrete work. Drainage improvements include converting existing A inlets to B inlets, reconstructing inlets (Type E and Type B), installing Inlet Filter, type 2, plastering Inlet, type B, replacing Inlet Bicycle Safe Grates, and supplying Inlet Type B Castings. Concrete elements feature the installation of concrete curbs, 4" and 6" thick concrete sidewalks (with reinforcement), detectable warning surfaces, and concrete pads (10' x 4' x 6"). Further enhancements include relocating existing B-inlets, work on sanitary and storm sewer manholes (casting, cover/lid, resetting existing casting), and resetting water and gas valve boxes. The project also addresses HMA driveway repair and asphalt walkway construction, alongside the installation of 8' steel park benches with vertical slats. Traffic management and aesthetics are also critical components, involving the installation of regulatory and warning signs, raised pavement markers (bi-directional, white and amber lens), and extensive traffic striping using epoxy resin and thermoplastic materials (yellow and white, in 4", 8", and 24" widths), including specific markings for arrows, "ONLY" indications, and hydrant symbols. A directional sign for Horizon Blvd (6'x2') is also specified. The project concludes with landscaping elements, particularly topsoiling and seeding (NJDOT Type A-3 Seeding). The bid opening occurred on May 1, 2026, with several contractors submitting proposals, and adjustments made for calculation errors, with unit cost prices prevailing for final determination.
