One (1) original, unbound, and four (4) copies of the qualifications package must be in a sealed envelope, labeled with the project name, project number and the name and address of the Consultant. The intent of this Request for Professional Qualifications is to select three (3) leading consulting firm candidates to provide Professional Engineering Services for development of final construction documents and obtaining all regulatory permits and approvals for the removal and total replacement of Bridge R-22 on Clark Street over Luppatatong Creek in the Township of Hazlet and Borough of Keyport, Monmouth County (See location map page 3). Only the three (3) top ranked Consultant firms will receive a detailed scope of work and an invitation to submit formal technical and cost proposals. One (1) of three (3) Consultants will be awarded a contract for design, permitting, and preparation of construction documents to be ready for public bidding. Those engineering services shall include, but are not limited to developing an Alternative Analysis Report, preparing all necessary right-of-way documents, coordinating and developing utility relocation plans, performing all necessary environmental studies, securing all applicable permits and approvals, performing hydraulic and hydrologic analyses, and developing Final Construction Plans and Specifications for public bidding for the total replacement of the structure. The design shall be performed in accordance with the latest Monmouth County, NJDOT and AASHTO Design Standards. The consulting firm for this project shall provide all the requisite professional engineering services necessary to the demolition and total replacement of Bridge R-22 on Clark Street over Luppatatong Creek in the Township of Hazlet and Borough of Keyport, Monmouth County. Bridge R-22 is comprised of two continuous spans consisting of reinforced concrete voided slab beams with a 2" minimum bituminous overlay riding surface supported on a timber substructure. The bridge has an overall length of approximately 33-feet. The cross section consists of two (2) 11-foot travel lanes in each direction for a curb-to-curb width of approximately 23-feet. The outto-out width of the bridge is approximately 24-feet. The bridge has an estimated Average Daily Traffic (ADT) of 12,000 and has a posted speed limit of 30 mph. The proposed design will include the demolition and complete removal of the existing structures and the construction of a new structure and approach roadways to meet current structural, hydraulic, and environmental standards. The replacement structures shall accommodate two (2) lanes of traffic, two (2) shoulders and at least one (1) sidewalk. The Consultant should prepare an Alternative Analysis Report which evaluates at least three (3) concepts for the new bridge configuration, including lane widths, shoulders, sidewalks, vertical and horizontal alignments, and transitions. Each concept shall identify the corresponding major impacts, including but not limited to permit requirements, right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation, and associated hard and soft cost estimates. The Consultant shall also recommend one (1) concept for advancement to final design and state reasons for that recommendation. The structural span length and hydraulic opening shall be determined by the Design Engineer based on hydraulic analysis in accordance with the current Monmouth County and NJDOT standards, NJDEP permitting regulations and other relevant considerations. Interested Consultants who consider themselves well qualified for the anticipated work should have specialized expertise in the area of bridge design, roadway design, hydrology and hydraulics, environmental permitting, wetlands, staged construction, accelerated bridge construction methods, and working with NJDOT and NJTA. All Statements of Qualification received in accordance with the requirements of this RFPQ will be evaluated and ranked by a three (3) member Monmouth County committee using the criteria and weighted scoring set forth in the attached "Exhibit A: RFPQ Evaluation Form". The top three (3) ranked firms will receive a Request for Proposal (RFP) with a detailed scope of work and an invitation to submit formal technical and cost proposals which will be evaluated using separate criteria described in the RFP.
