Construction of C.R. 539 Overpass Str. No. 1523-031, Whiting – New Egypt Road Over Ridge Way, Plumsted and Jackson Townships

Ocean County, New Jersey is soliciting bids for construction of the C.R. 539 Overpass (Structure No. 1523-031) spanning Ridge Way over Whiting-New Egypt Road in Plumsted and Jackson Townships, with bids due October 27, 2026. The project is subject to Davis-Bacon and New Jersey prevailing wage requirements, establishing binding labor-cost baselines across all trade classifications for bridge and structural construction.

The scope encompasses overpass structure design and construction, site preparation, and traffic management during construction phases. Bidders must review comprehensive plans, supplemental specifications, and a geotechnical report (27 MB) that establishes subsurface investigation findings, soil classifications, groundwater conditions, and engineering recommendations critical to foundation design and construction sequencing. The geotechnical assessment informs contractor cost estimation and methodology; all prospective bidders receive the same subsurface data to promote competitive bidding on complete project knowledge.

Contractors must comply with all technical specifications covering structural requirements, material standards, construction methodologies, safety protocols, and quality control measures. Bid submissions must be completed through the OpenGov platform using DocuSign forms; all fields marked as required must be completed before submission. Bidders must click the link above the DocuSign window stating "click here to load your completed document" after completing forms to ensure the document populates into the OpenGov system — failure to complete this step results in loss of progress and non-submission.

No contract value, estimated contract term, or incumbent information is disclosed in the source materials. Questions due date, pre-bid meeting, and anticipated award date are not specified.
