15 (NJTA Board Meeting- 11/18/2014) In a document dated November 7, 2014, a Recommendation to Assign Contract No. T for the New Jersey Turnpike to Bishop Halmar. Joint Venture for Interchange 9 Improvements - Grading. Paving. Drainage and Structures. Milepost Township of East Brunswick. Middlesex County, Ten Year Capital Program Fund No Amount: $0, was approved. This contract provides for improvements at Turnpike Interchange 9 located in East Brunswick, Middlesex County at Milepost The work to be performed includes widening of the ramp from southbound Route 18 to the Turnpike, replacement of the Route 18 bridge over the Turnpike ramps, widening of the Naricon Place bridge over the ramp from the Turnpike to Route 18 North, and the realignment/reconstruction of Route 18 through the interchange. These improvements are being undertaken to alleviate severe daily traffic congestion in this high volume interchange, which is an important component of the overall Route 18 corridor improvements being performed by the New Jersey Department of Transportation. Twelve bid proposals were received on August 30, 2012 for this publicly bid contract. The low bid proposal, in the amount of $27,683, was submitted by Gardner M. Bishop, Inc. of White Plains, New York. Under Agenda Item No , the Board of Commissioners awarded this contract to Gardner M. Bishop, Inc. at the Authority's September 25, 2012 Board Meeting. The Interchange 9 improvements are approximately 55% complete with an estimated completion date of October 31, Due to financial constraints, Gardner M. Bishop has contacted the Authority requesting permission to assign the contract to Bishop Halmar, Joint Venture to perform the remaining work under the same terms and conditions as the original contract. Halmar is a competent and capable construction firm able to perform the work. The Engineering Department has reviewed this request and determined that, because of the need to finish the construction of the improvements without delay, it is in the Authority's best interest to assign the contract to the Joint Venture. Without such assignment, the Authority would have no choice but to terminate the contract if Bishop failed to perform, and seek the remedies available to it under the contract terms, including negotiating with the bond surety company to recoup any costs and obtaining a new contractor to finish the job. This would cause significant delays and would only serve to increase the traffic congestion on the Route 18/Turnpike corridor while such remedies were taken. Accordingly, it is requested that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Executive Director to assign Contract T to Bishop Halmar, Joint Venture, in accordance with the terms set forth above. It is further recommended that the Commissioners authorize the Executive Director to execute any such other documents and take any such other actions as are deemed necessary to effectuate the intent of this authorization.
