atlantic 563 Phila Ave-SPECS-BidExpress.pdf

This is a specifications document for the Resurfacing of C.R. 563 – Philadelphia Avenue in Egg Harbor City, Atlantic County, New Jersey, prepared by Atlantic County. The project involves milling and resurfacing Philadelphia Avenue with HMA Base Course (3 inches thick) and/or HMA Surface Course (2 inches thick), along with ancillary improvements including curbing replacement and/or installation, driveways, sidewalks, handicap ramps, drainage structures, traffic striping, markings, symbols, raised pavement markers, signage, and traffic signals. A significant component of the project is the complete reconstruction of the signalized intersection of CR 563 (Philadelphia Avenue) and CR 561 Alt (Moss Mill Road), which requires coordination with utility pole owners (ACE and Verizon) for aerial utility relocation while maintaining the existing pole-mounted traffic signal as temporary power during new signal installation and testing. The contractor is responsible for calling before digging and conducting test pit excavations to identify actual utility dimensions and locations; any utility conflicts may be resolved through pipe material substitution or invert adjustments with County Engineer approval, or through contractor coordination with utility companies for relocation if necessary.

The specifications document establishes technical requirements and construction standards for the roadway resurfacing project. The document emphasizes the contractor's responsibility for utility coordination and identification of existing conditions prior to construction commencement. Improvements to drainage systems, base and sub-base repair or reconstruction, rail grade crossing warning systems, and track circuits are included where necessary. The project requires comprehensive traffic control measures and coordination with multiple utility providers to ensure uninterrupted service during construction phases.
