Mannington Committee accepts South State bid for Warner Road resurfacing; NJDOT grant covers most costs
Summary
The Mannington Township Committee accepted a low bid from South State, Inc. totaling $115,510.05 for Warner Road resurfacing, with a New Jersey Department of Transportation grant of $95,248 expected to cover construction-related costs; award is subject to solicitor review, insurance confirmation and funds certification.
The Mannington Township Committee on March 2 adopted a resolution accepting the low bid from South State, Inc. for the Warner Road Resurfacing project. The bid total listed in township documents is $115,510.05, including a Base Bid of $72,896.45 and Alternate #1 priced at $42,613.60. The township reports it has received a $95,248 grant from the New Jersey Department of Transportation to cover construction costs, inspection and material testing.
The resolution, as read into the record, noted that the Township Engineer, Robert A. Mulford of Fralinger Engineering, reviewed the bids and recommended awarding the base bid to South State, Inc. subject to the Township Solicitors review of bid documents, confirmation that insurance requirements are met, and the Township Treasurers certification of available funds. Mayor Eber moved to adopt the resolution and Committeeman Mitchell seconded; the roll call was Eber yes, DiGregorio abstain, Mitchell yes.
Why it matters: the contract authorizes resurfacing work on Warner Road and will proceed only after administrative confirmations. Committeeman Mitchell asked for the specific resurfacing distances; the Clerks Office will email the requested details to the committee.
Next steps: the township solicitor will review the bid documents and the mayor and clerk will sign the required NJDOT recommendation-of-award forms for submission if the paperwork and funds certification are in order. No construction may begin until those administrative conditions are satisfied.
