25-46 LA-2023 LAIF Atlantic City Tennessee Avenue Improvement Project 01

The City of Atlantic City, located in Atlantic County, New Jersey, is soliciting bids for the Tennessee Avenue Roadway Improvements Project (Bid 25-46), a comprehensive infrastructure rehabilitation initiative. The project involves roadway reconstruction along Tennessee Avenue, spanning approximately 1,400 linear feet, and includes milling existing pavement, installing new hot mix asphalt surface course, replacing concrete sidewalks and driveways, resetting granite block curbs, and implementing new traffic striping and markings. Key deliverables include 4,394 square yards of milling, 743 tons of hot mix asphalt surface course, 2,340 square yards of concrete sidewalk, and 10 detectable warning surfaces to meet ADA requirements. Bidders must be prequalified and registered with the New Jersey Department of Labor, with a minimum bid guarantee of 10% of the total bid amount. The electronic bid submission is due on July 23, 2025, at 10:00 AM through the BidNet Direct e-procurement platform, with a defined construction timeline of 45 days for substantial completion and 60 days for total completion.

The procurement emphasizes small business enterprise and minority business enterprise participation, with potential payment reductions for failing to meet established goals. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage requirements, provide performance and payment bonds, and maintain specific insurance coverages. The project includes provisions for local hiring and adheres to state and federal regulations governing public works projects. Bidders are required to submit various compliance documents, including business registration, non-collusion affidavits, and equal employment opportunity forms. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure improvements and the detailed engineering plan set suggest a significant investment in municipal infrastructure. The project will require full roadway closure during paving, with contractors responsible for maintaining emergency and property access and coordinating with local authorities. Contractors must follow New Jersey Department of Transportation standard specifications from the 2019 edition and ensure strict adherence to the detailed construction requirements outlined in the project documentation.
