Furnish And Deliver Painting Services For The Henry Hudson Trail Bridge, #438-B04 Over Route 35, Keyport, New Jersey For The Monmouth County Park System (Addendum #1 Issued)(Addendum #2 Issued)

Monmouth County Purchasing Division is soliciting bids under RFB F-119-2026 for comprehensive painting services and structural repairs for the Henry Hudson Trail Bridge, #438-B04, situated over Route 35 in Keyport, New Jersey. This critical infrastructure project is being undertaken for the Monmouth County Park System. The extensive scope of work encompasses initial mobilization and demobilization, rigorous safety and hazard prevention protocols, meticulous housekeeping and final clean-up, and essential field engineering. It also includes the provision of temporary utilities, establishment of storage and marshalling yards, procurement of all necessary permits, and securing comprehensive insurance and bonding, specifically including pollution liability insurance. Project management requires a detailed bar chart progress schedule and regular updates. Operational aspects involve maintenance and protection of traffic, an allowance for uniformed police officers, and various repair tasks. These tasks include hot mix asphalt pavement repair, sealing of cracks in asphalt surfaces, epoxy waterproofing, lubrication of bearings, pressure injection for concrete cracks, general testing services, substructure concrete repair, repairing chain-link fences, cleaning and sealing concrete curb joints and cracks, topsoil spreading, and riprap stone protection. A crucial element is the implementation of a containment system for the bridge, followed by multi-stage SSPC (Society for Protective Coatings) treatments, encompassing blast/prime, stripe/intermediate, and finish applications. The project also incorporates an allowance for unforeseen conditions, ensuring flexibility for unexpected challenges, and an alternate bid item for specific chain-link fence installation. This project aims to restore and maintain a vital county asset, ensuring its longevity and safety for public use. Contractors interested in RFB F-119-2026 must demonstrate full compliance with all mandated requirements, including securing all necessary permits, comprehensive insurance coverage, and specific pollution liability insurance, as these are explicitly listed under the general project requirements. The mention of “BONDING” indicates that performance and other forms of bid security will be a mandatory aspect of the submission, requiring bidders to have appropriate financial backing and guarantees. While the text does not explicitly detail specific licenses like the NJ Public Works Contractor Registration or extensive experience requirements, the complexity of bridge painting, structural repairs, and specialized coating systems (SSPC) strongly implies that contractors must possess relevant state and local licenses and a proven track record in similar large-scale infrastructure projects. Bidders should carefully review all project documents, especially the issued addenda (Addendum #1 and #2 are noted), which may contain crucial clarifications or updates regarding qualifications, mandatory pre-bid meetings, or site visits, though none are explicitly stated in this excerpt. Expertise in traffic management and environmental protection for construction projects is also implicitly required. All bid proposals for RFB F-119-2026 must be precisely completed on standard Request for Bid (RFB) forms and submitted strictly in accordance with the procedures outlined in the official specifications. The immutable deadline for receiving bids is September 16, 2026, at 10:30:00 AM.
