Brick Township officials have awarded two contracts that will cover the repavement, sidewalk repairs, drainage improvements and street-end ramps for six roads township-wide.<\/p>\n

The township council awarded two contracts at its meeting last week. The first, a $239,984 contract to Meco Inc., will cover the work on Brower Drive.<\/p>\n

A separate contract, in which Meco was likewise the low bidder, in the amount of $718,520 will cover the improvements on five \u201cisolated roads.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayor John Ducey started the isolated road improvement program last year after residents came to the town with a frequent problem. In normal practice, the township awards contracts to pave large roads or several roads within a neighborhood all at once. But in some neighborhoods, the bulk of streets will be in good condition while one road in particular has deteriorated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe answer always was, \u2018well, the rest of the neighborhood\u2019s looking good so you\u2019re just going to have to wait,'\u201d Ducey said.<\/p>\n

The township\u2019s answer was to start the isolated road program, which groups all of those types of roads together. This year\u2019s roads set to be repaved are: Baywood Boulevard, Sudbury Road, West Granada Drive, Van Note Drive and North Drive.<\/p>\n

Meco was the low bidder on both projects. The highest bids were $406,000 for the Brower Drive project and $1,026,000 for the five isolated roads.<\/p>\n
