Resurfacing of C. R. 563 – Philadelphia Avenue In Egg Harbor City, Atlantic County, NJ Roadway Resurfacing Project

The project involves the resurfacing of Philadelphia Avenue (Co. Rt. 563) - in Egg Harbor City, by Milling and resurfacing with: HMA Base Course 3 Thick and/or HMA Surface Course 2 Thick. Improvements where necessary include replacement and/or installation of curbing, driveways, sidewalk, handicap ramps, drainage structures, traffic striping/markings/symbols, raised pavement markers, signage, traffic signal, and all other items shown on the project plans. The depth of the storm sewer shown on the plans is from the surface grade to the invert of the pipeline. It is the Contractors responsibility to call before they dig, and if needed perform test pit excavations to determine actual dimensions and locations of utilities. If a conflict is found with the proposed improvements the Contractor may be allowed, with the County Engineers approval, to use if and where directed pipe material and/or adjust inverts to avoid utility relocation and contract downtime. If not allowed, then it will be the Contractors responsibility to coordinate with the utility companies for the relocation of underground facilities. The signalized intersection of CR563 (Philadelphia Ave.) and CR561Alt (Moss Mill Road) will be reconstructed in its entirety. Utility Poles Owners *(ACE & Verizon) will need to be coordinated with to relocate all aerial utilities, however, the existing utility* pole mounted span wire traffic signal will need to remain powered and operational. The existing signal will be used as temporary, while the new signals below and above grade improvement are being installed and tested. Improvements where necessary include replacement of curbing, signal controller, traffic signal devices, signal poles & foundations, underground conduit, light fixtures, image detection, traffic striping/markings/symbols, raised pavement markers, signage, resetting castings, base and sub base repaired and/or reconstructed where necessary, rail grade crossing warning systems, track circuits, drainage, and all other items shown on the project plans. Other Major work items: HMA Milling, more than 3 to 6, HMA Milling, 3 or less, Hot Mix Asphalt 19M64 Base Course 3 Thick and Hot Mix Asphalt 12.5ME Surface Course 2 Thick will be allowed in only one direction of travel of the County Roadway at a time, unless otherwise approved by the County Engineer. Traffic flow, if necessary, as per the traffic control plan or an alternating traffic scheme may be used. HMA milling and paving between the limits of Rte. 30 and Campe Street will be limited to nighttime operations. Each phase of work must be scheduled to complete HMA base paving prior to the end of the work week. Traffic control measures will be provided by the contractor. All traffic control or detours shall be coordinated with local businesses and residents within project limits, Atlantic County Engineers Office, local police department, fire department, schools, and public transportation agencies (i.e. NJ Transit Bus and Rail Station, NJDOT for detours/lane closures, etc.).
