The SBE project goal is 25%. The Newark Bay-Hudson County Extension (NB-HCE) Improvements Program (the "Program") has been developed to replace the entire length of the 8.1-mile NB-HCE corridor from New Jersey Turnpike Interchange 14 (Milepost N0.0) in Newark to the eastern terminus of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority's jurisdiction at Jersey Avenue (Milepost N8.1) in Jersey City. The Program corridor runs through Essex and Hudson Counties which includes 3 municipalities: Newark, Bayonne, and Jersey City. The NB-HCE is a primary corridor connection from the region to ports terminals, major residential and commercial developments, and New York City via the Holland Tunnel. The existing structures that carry the mostly elevated NB-HCE roadway, originally constructed circa 1955, are nearing the end of their serviceable life. The Program will address the integrity of the roadway and structures, the need to improve regional mobility, as well as the need to improve safety. The preliminary engineering design and initial environmental services for the Program are anticipated to be completed by mid-2024. The Authority has engaged a Program Manager (PM Team) for the Program. The Authority's highest priority of the Program is to replace the existing Newark Bay Bridge. To accomplish this, a new Westbound Newark Bay Bridge will be available for bi-directional traffic on July 1, 2031. The demolition of the existing Newark Bay Bridge (Str. No. N2.01) and its approach structures (N2.01W and N2.01E) is necessary for the construction of a new Eastbound Newark Bay Bridge in the existing bridge footprint, configured for and carrying eastbound traffic by July 3, 2036. The work to be performed by the Qualified Firm under this OPS consists of professional engineering services for the Independent Design Review of the Engineer of Record's Design of the Newark Bay Bridge over Newark Bay, specifically Structure No. N2.01, and the proposed staged twin, 3-span, cable-stayed bridges, flanking spans, demolition of the existing through-arch structure over the Newark Bay and other related work defined in the RFEOI's Scope of Services.
