Belmar Boardwalk Bid Comes In $10.4 million under expectations
Belmar’s engineering firm, Birdsall Services Group, told the Mayor and Council of the Borough to expect their new boardwalk to cost $17 million. The winning bid came in at $6.6 million.
The winning bidder, Epic Construction of Piscataway is no fly by night. Mayor Matt Doherty says the borough checked them out thoroughly because they came in so much lower than expectations and lower than the other 22 bidders. The highest bid was $19 million, according to NJ.com.
Doherty told MMM that the borough benefited by getting the project out fast after the Hurricane Sandy, thereby attracting 23 bidders.
