Adams Street Lead Service Line Replacement

The City of Hoboken is undertaking a significant infrastructure improvement project, "Adams Street Lead Service Line Replacement," as detailed in Bid No. 26-06 and its Addendum No. 1. This project involves the comprehensive replacement of lead service lines throughout Adams Street, encompassing work from the main to the curb side, curb to meter side, and complete replacements. The scope extends to the installation of new curb stop valves, specialized lead service line excavation, and subsequent restoration work including concrete sidewalks and brick pavers. A critical component of this project addresses environmental considerations, outlining detailed procedures for handling and disposing of contaminated, non-hazardous soil found within public rights-of-way and private properties, all in strict adherence to New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) standards. This addendum specifically updates quantities for key bid items and clarifies environmental protection protocols, reflecting recent test pitting results. Contractors bidding on this vital public works project must be prepared to assume water service lines of diameters up to and including 2-inches for various replacement items, as specified in Section 01025. Compliance with stringent environmental regulations is mandatory, particularly N.J.A.C. 7:26-2.13(g) and (h), and the NJDEP Site Remediation Program Linear Construction Technical Guidance (January 2012) for contaminated soil management. Bidders must be equipped to sample, analyze, handle, store, remove, track, and dispose of contaminated and hazardous fluids and solids in accordance with contract specifications and all applicable Federal, State, and local laws. Furthermore, an immediate notification protocol to the Owner, Engineer, and NJDEP is required if any grossly contaminated material, such as free product or noxious vapors, is encountered during excavation. The revised bid form incorporates updated quantities for lead service line replacements and includes allowances for uniformed police traffic control, utility provision, interior restoration, and miscellaneous work. To ensure proper consideration for the Adams Street Lead Service Line Replacement project, bidders are explicitly required to acknowledge receipt of Addendum No. 1 on Page 00400-5 of the original Bid Documents, with failure to do so potentially leading to disqualification.

The addendum was issued on August 24, 2026, which is also identified as the submission deadline for acknowledging this addendum and is indicated as the overall bid due date.
