ROAD DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT

The Township of Toms River, located in Ocean County, New Jersey, is seeking bids for a comprehensive Road Drainage Improvements Project focused on enhancing storm sewer infrastructure. The procurement involves furnishing and installing 27 check valves at various municipal locations, with 13 primary line items for inline check valves ranging from 4" to 36" in size and quantities between 1 and 38 units per size. Key project deliverables include reconstructing inlets, replacing damaged pipes, and strategically installing tide valves to manage potential tidal backflow and flooding risks. The bid was released on May 9, 2025, with electronic responses due by May 21, 2025, at 10:00 am. Bidders will be evaluated based on being the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with mandatory submission requirements including a price certification, bid guarantee, corporate resolution, and various compliance forms. The evaluation will consider technical capabilities, adherence to state and local regulations, and the ability to meet specific infrastructure improvement objectives.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though bidders must comply with affirmative action requirements and equal employment opportunity guidelines. Prevailing wage laws will be in effect, and the total project budget includes a maximum of $20,000 allocated for site clearing and mobilization. The contract is subject to fund availability and may be terminated if sufficient funding is not secured. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the project involves detailed storm sewer infrastructure mapping prepared by Consulting & Municipal Engineers, suggesting potential collaboration or previous technical assessment. The comprehensive mapping includes annotations of existing pipe types, sizes, and proposed tide valve locations across multiple township neighborhoods. The overall project budget and potential contract value are not explicitly stated, but the detailed scope and multiple line items indicate a significant municipal infrastructure investment aimed at improving drainage and flood mitigation capabilities.
