This is a project manual and specifications document for the NJDOT FY2025 Country Club Road, Ardsley Lane & Goldfinch Drive Improvement Project issued by the Township of Bridgewater, Somerset County, New Jersey. The project consists of roadway improvements including milling and overlay of existing pavement, new accessible ramps, sidewalk and curb replacement, driveway repair, and related work across approximately 9,300 linear feet. The Base Bid encompasses improvements to Country Club Road, Ardsley Lane, and Goldfinch Drive, while Alternate Bid 'A' includes Raymond Court, Bell Lane, and Jason Court. Sealed bids were received on September 23, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the Township of Bridgewater, 100 Commons Way, Bridgewater, New Jersey 08807. Construction must commence no earlier than Monday, June 26, 2027, and be completed by Friday, August 27, 2027, during the school summer recess to avoid disruption to Bridgewater Raritan School District bus routes. The contractor must achieve substantial completion within 60 calendar days and final completion within 75 calendar days from the contract commencement date. Project length specifications note that Country Club Road and Goldfinch Drive are main thoroughfares for school bus routes, making the construction schedule critical.

The proposal includes 40 line items for the Base Bid, ranging from inlet filters and traffic control equipment to asphalt paving and miscellaneous site work, with price adjustments available for fuel and asphalt costs. Alternate Bid 'A' contains 24 line items with reduced quantities for the three additional streets. All bidders must comply with New Jersey Local Public Contracts Law (N.J.S.A. 40A:11-1 et seq.), prevailing wage requirements established by the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, and affirmative action requirements under N.J.A.C. 17:27. Bidders are required to submit bid bonds or certified checks equal to at least 10 percent of the bid amount, non-collusion affidavits, proof of business registration, certifications of non-debarment, and evidence of surety consent for performance, labor and material payment, and maintenance bonds. The project is authorized under local public contracts law and governed by the 2019 Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction of the New Jersey Department of Transportation, as amended. Bid prices remain irrevocable for 60 days following bid opening, and no construction shall commence prior to approval of the contract award by the New Jersey Department of Transportation.

When hiring or scheduling workers in each construction trade, the contractor or subcontractor agrees to make good faith efforts to employ minority and women workers in each construction trade consistent with the targeted employment goal prescribed by N.J.A.C. 17:27-7.2 provided, however, that the Dept. of LWD, Construction EEO Monitoring Program, may, in its discretion, exempt a contractor or subcontractor from compliance with the good faith procedures prescribed by the following provisions A, B, and C, as long as the Dept. of LWD, Construction

EEO Monitoring Program is satisfied that the contractor or subcontractor is employing workers provided by a union which provides evidence in accordance with standards prescribed by the

Dept. of LWD, Construction EEO Monitoring Program, that its percentage of active �card carrying� members who are minority and women workers is equal to or greater than the targeted employment goal established in accordance with N.J.A.C. 17:27-7.2.

A.
