April 10. 2013 THE VILLADOM TIMES IV • Page 29 West Airmount Road project (continued from page 5) (polyvinylchloride) pipe or a more expensive concrete pipe. He recommended the concrete pipe due to its longer lifespan and the heavy use of the road. Campion agreed that concrete is the better choice because it has a relatively long life. He said he does not want the township to have to go through this again for a very long time because the road must be closed during the project, a factor that will impact local traffic. However, he said the choice of pipe will depend on the bids, which will provide costs for each alternate. In May 2012, the council had a lengthy discussion about the timing of the project and what impact it might have on the traffic and the ability of emergency service vehicles to travel from one side of the railroad tracks to the other in that area during the construction. At that time, the council awarded a $98,700 professional services contract to Boswell Engineering and the council was advised that during this summer’s construction phase of the project, the roadway, which is a primary route for motorists and emergency vehicles to get to the west side of the railroad tracks, would have to be shut down. The project will be staged so the road is closed during while township’s schools are not in session. Boswell Engineering has completed a hydrologic analysis of the project and an application was submitted to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, which is expected to approve the project this month. According to a schedule recently provided by Township Engineer Michael Kelly, bids for the project will be advertised in April and are expected to be received in early May, with the award of the project to a contractor by the middle of May. Construction is expected to begin in June. Plans call for the road to be closed at the end of the school year, and the project is expected to be essentially completed by Sept. 30. Kelly told the council that, if the project is not completed by the opening day of the 2013-14 school year, the school district would be made aware of the potential detours until the work is completed.
