MCGOVERN RESILIENCE PARK PROJECT PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES

The Jersey City Division of Sustainability is seeking professional engineering services for the McGovern Resilience Park Project, a comprehensive flood mitigation initiative located in the Greenville neighborhood. The procurement is a professional services agreement targeting qualified planning, engineering, and environmental firms to conduct detailed site assessments, geotechnical analysis, and design a stormwater infrastructure improvement project. Specific deliverables include surveys, soil contaminant analysis, comprehensive design of stormwater retention chambers to be installed underneath existing multi-use courts and grass fields, benefit-cost analysis, permitting documentation, and construction bid documents. The project's primary objective is to reduce flooding risks through green infrastructure implementation. Proposals are due on April 29, 2025, at 4:00 p.m., with a twelve-month contract term that includes construction administration. Evaluation criteria will focus on firms demonstrating qualified experience in comprehensive resilience projects, specifically in flood mitigation and environmental analysis sectors, with a requirement for original signatures and complete bid documentation.

The city strongly encourages participation from Minority-Owned, Woman-Owned, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), and Emerging Small Business Enterprise firms, both as prime contractors and subcontractors. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the procurement will be funded through a professional services contract utilizing a "fair and open" process under the New Jersey Local Unit Pay-to-Play Law. Proposing firms must submit a lump sum proposal with cost reimbursement subject to city-determined limits, and all costs must comply with federal cost principles. The contract will be awarded in Hudson County, New Jersey, with a focus on integrating new stormwater infrastructure into the existing McGovern Park site. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and the project represents a new infrastructure enhancement initiative aimed at improving municipal resilience and environmental sustainability.
