Bound Brook public works announces $324,010 DOT award and conditional road contract to ReVax
Summary
The borough’s public works director said the town received a $324,010 DOT grant for West Franklin Street, bringing total corridor grant funding to $1,152,529, and recommended awarding the 2024 road program to ReVax Construction for $1,610,587 pending DOT concurrence; the director also updated the council on ongoing pool rehabilitation work.
The Bound Brook director of public works reported at the Dec. 10 meeting that the borough has been awarded $324,010 from the New Jersey Department of Transportation for a section of West Franklin Street, bringing total grant funding for the corridor to $1,152,529. The director said the funding is part of a phased improvement plan covering multiple sections of Franklin Street.
On the 2024 road program, the director said the borough received eight bids and the council conditionally awarded the contract to ReVax Construction for a total base-bid and alternates of $1,610,587. "Just waiting on DOT concurrence of award," the director said; the award is conditional on DOT concurrence before the borough executes contracts and begins preconstruction meetings.
The director also updated the council on the full pool rehabilitation project: most underground work is complete (water-supply lines, surge tank, footings); work remaining (final grading, concrete decking, liner placement and installation of water slide components) is weather dependent. The director said he will include remaining amenities in the capital request for 2025 and noted some equipment delays and punch-list items remain to be resolved with contractors.
Council members did not vote to commit additional funds at the meeting; the director said he was preparing the capital requests for next year and would seek DOT concurrence and the necessary contract approvals to proceed.
The report included scheduling notes for upcoming projects and the need to coordinate DOT concurrency and contract execution before work can begin.
