The New Jersey Water Bank - NJWB (formerly New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Financing Program is a partnership between the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and the New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Trust (Trust) provide grants and low-cost financing for the design, construction, and implementation of water, sewer, and stormwater projects. The City of Somers Point is applying for funding for several stormwater projects, namely: a. Parkway Stormwater Outfall Improvements - There are three (3) existing outfalls which drain stormwater to the Patcong Creek which are almost completely silted in and causing stormwater flooding during precipitation events. The scope of work includes extension of the existing outfalls, removal of existing silt in the drainage ditch, and tide check valves. It is anticipated that a Freshwater Wetlands General Permits Number 11 will be required. b. Defeo Lane Stormwater Improvements - Defeo Lane between Us Route 9 and Edgewood Drive has an existing 64" corrugated metal stormwater pipe that runs under the existing asphalt to an existing outfall off Edgewood Drive that has reached the end of its useful life and is experiencing failure. The area also frequently experiences flooding from large precipitation events since the adjacent Shoprite drainage system ties into the City's stormwater system. The existing metal pipe is proposed to be replaced and a separate 36" stormwater pipe and outfall is proposed to be installed for the stormwater from the existing shopping center. Check valves are also proposed to limit infiltration and flooding from the adjacent Patcong Creek. Due to extensive excavation required to replace the pipe, the entire width of street will need to be repaved and brought up to ADA standards. c. Ocean Heights Avenue Replacement - Ocean Avenue between Atlantic Avenue and Campbell Avenue and then continuing along Campbell Avenue to a dead end has an existing 65" X 43" elliptical corrugated metal stormwater pipe that runs under the existing asphalt that has reached the end of its useful life and is experiencing failure. This project also includes the replacement of the existing 15" corrugated metal pipe along Bliss Avenue from Shumans Alley to Lashley Avenue that ties into the stormwater system on Ocean Avenue that is also experiencing failure. Due to extensive excavation required to replace the pipe, the entire width of street will need to be repaved and brought up to ADA standards. d. Gulph Mill Road Stormwater Improvements - An existing 36" outfall adjacent to Gulph Mill Road drains approximately 130 acres. The current outfall is below Mean High Water (MHW) and therefore tidal water surcharges the system at high tide, reducing the system's storage capacity. In addition, if precipitation is occurring during high tide, positive discharge of the stormwater is not possible. The city proposes installing a stormwater pump station along Gulf Mill Road to pump stormwater during high tide events with precipitation. Tide check valves will also be installed to prevent tidal water from surcharging the system. In addition, there are two existing smaller outfalls that are proposed to be removed and tied into the stormwater pump station. All improvements, including the proposed pump station, will be completed in the existing developed Right-ofWay. Due to the extensive excavation of the project, repaving of the street and associated ADA improvements will be required. e. Jordon Road to Exton Road Stormwater Improvements - The existing corrugated metal stormwater pipe that runs from Jordan road to Exton Road has reached the end of its useful life and is experiencing failure. The majority of the existing corrugated metal pipe runs perpendicular to the existing roadways in the area through existing stormwater easements on private property. It is proposed that the stormwater pipe be slip lined with cured in place pipe to limit the disturbance of private property. f. Nassau Road to Amber Road Stormwater Improvements - The existing corrugated metal stormwater pipe that runs from Nassau Road to Ambler Road has reached the end of its useful life and is experiencing failure. The majority of the existing corrugated metal pipe runs perpendicular to the existing roadways in the area through existing stormwater easements on private property. It is proposed that the stormwater pipe be slip lined with cured in place pipe to limit the disturbance of private property. g. Colwick Drive to Wisteria Walk Stormwater Improvements - The existing corrugated metal stormwater pipe that runs from Colwick Drive to Wisteria Lane has reached the end of its useful life and is experiencing failure. The majority of the existing corrugated metal pipe runs perpendicular to the existing roadways in the area through existing stormwater easements on private property. It is proposed that the stormwater pipe be slip lined with cured in place pipe to limit the disturbance of private property choolhouse Lane Pump Station - Located on Schoolhouse Lane between Defeo Lane and Chapman Boulevard is a low spot in the roadway with an existing inlet and stormwater pipe that conveys stormwater to Patcong Creek. The City has installed a check valve on this outfall to prevent tidal flooding but during times of high tide and high precipitation events, positive discharge is not possible which has caused flooding. This flooding has caused damage to adjacent homes. Proposed improvements include a small electric pump station to pump precipitation to the Patcong Creek during high tides. All improvements will be completed in the existing developed Right-of-Way. i. Pierson/Dawes Stormwater Improvements - Located between Pierson Avenue and Dawes Avenue in the rear of the existing lots is a natural low area that floods during significant precipitation events. This flooding has caused damage to basements, garages, and sheds of the adjacent homes and creates issues with standing water and mosquitos breading. Proposed improvements include a small electric pump station and additional stormwater piping to convey stormwater to Bay Avenue. All improvements will be completed on developed parcels. j. Bay Avenue Living Shoreline and Stormwater Improvements - Bay Avenue between Groveland Avenue and Ocean Avenue consists of eight (8) individual outfalls consisting of deteriorated corrugated metal pipe (CMP) and drains over 125 acres into the bay. The land between Bay Avenue and the salt marsh mostly consists of invasive Phragmites. This project proposes to reduce runoff and improve stormwater quality by creating a living shoreline along Bay Avenue. This will be done by eliminating all outfalls so that stormwater runs along Bay Avenue in a bioretention swale consisting of native plant species to the natural low point along Bay Avenue. A stormwater pump station is proposed to pump stormwater during large storm events. In addition, a living shoreline adjacent to the bay is proposed to eliminate the existing Phragmites and plant native species. As required under NJAC 7:22-9, the City must develop a program which provides opportunities for Socially and Economically Disadvantaged (SED) contractors and equipment vendors to supply materials and services under this project. The enclosed SED Utilization Plan serves as evidence that the City intends to implement this plan and provides a description of the methods of implementation that will be used in order to meet the SED utilization goals. No Bid Will Be Received Unless in Writing on the Forms Furnished, and Unless Accompanied by a Bid Security in the Form of a Bid Bond or Certified Check Made Payable to the Owner in an Amount Equal to 10% of the Amount of the Total Bid, Provided That the Said Security Need Not Be More Than $20,000 Nor Less Than $500.00 and Be Delivered at the Place on or Before the Hour Named Above.
