Monksville Dam Safety Fence Project

Soliciting proposals from General Contractors that have that have expertise in general construction, masonry, road repair and safety fence installation along road infrastructure including but not limited to bridge overpasses and dams with high volumes of traffic. The Monksville Dam is part of the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission's water infrastructure facilities located in Wanaque, Passaic County, New Jersey. The dam is located in Ringwood, New Jersey along Stonetown Road that intersects County Route 511 aka Greenwood Lake Turnpike. The Monksville Dam was built in 1986. The dam was completed in 1987 and is approximately 0.4 miles long (2,200 lf) and 120 ft. high. The dam has an ogee-crested, stepped spillway on a two span, pre-cast concrete bridge. The Scope of Work is to include, but not be limited to, constructing a safety fence along the downstream portion of the existing concrete, top rail roadway-side barrier. The fence will be constructed on the downstream side of the dam only along the bridge portion of the structure that spans the ogee crested spillway. The length of the fence will span the length of the spillway approximately 200 lf, plus an extra 15 ft on both ends. Five feet of the fence ends will flare out over the dam at a 45 degree angle to prevent pedestrians from climbing to the outside of the fence. The fence will have a 4 ft. high straight section with a 1 ft. high angled return. The total fence height will be 5 feet. The work is to include all necessary labor and material, traffic control, and other items not listed to successfully install approximately 230 lf of protective safety fence. The fence will be used for the safety and prevention of pedestrians and animals from falling or leaping over the concrete guide barrier down to the toe of the concrete spillway below.
