BELMAR TO AWARD BOARDWALK RECONSTRUCTION CONTRACT to Epic construction
December 12, 2012 by
BELMAR TO AWARD BOARDWALK RECONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
DATE: December 12, 2012
BELMAR: Today Mayor Matthew J. Doherty announced that the Belmar Boardwalk Reconstruction project bids were opened and the lowest bidder is Epic Construction from Piscataway, New Jersey. The contract award will advance for Borough Council approval at tonight’s Council Meeting.
Belmar’s aggressive approach to reconstructing the boardwalk, decimated by Hurricane Sandy, led to a robust bidding process with 23 bids opened on Tuesday, December 11, 2012. The bids ranged from Epic Construction’s low bid of $6.6 Million to the highest bid of 19.6 Million. The full list of responding construction firms and their bids are available at www.belmar.com.
“This is another important step in rebuilding our boardwalk in time for this summer. Belmar has had a boardwalk every summer since 1875, and we are committed to having one ready for 2013 as well. Our determination to rebuild quickly has resulted in a robust and fair bidding process that yielded a great price for reconstruction, far below our original estimate of $17 million,” said Mayor Matthew J. Doherty. He continued, “By being aggressive, we were able to ensure residents and tourists that Belmar will have a boardwalk this summer, and we will build it at the best price possible for taxpayers. In addition, the boardwalk is engineered to 2012 standards that would have survived Sandy. So not only are we doing this quickly and at a great price, we are also building it to last.”
Mayor Doherty also credits Governor Chris Christie, he stated, “Governor Christie has been supportive of our recovery and rebuilding efforts since Sandy devastated our community. His leadership and support will make it possible for our town, and the rest of the Jersey Shore, to come back and be ready for this summer.”
The winning bidder, Epic Construction, is a well respected 40 year old company with their headquarters in Piscataway, NJ. Recently completed projects include the Rutgers University Stadium Expansion and the Union City High School. Epic has extensive experience in public recreation and sport projects. Their website is www.epicbulds.com and their Piscataway Headquarters may be reached at 732-752-6100.

I took this photo today Saturday November 24th 2012, its my first morning sunrise photo I have taken since Sandy hit the Jersey Shore October 28 2012. I am still waiting on contractors and insurance companies but I so missed my view i got up at 5am to get to my home and take this photo and a few more – Bill

Belmar to prosecute price gougers
November 7, 2012 by
BELMAR TO PROSECUTE PRICE GOUGERS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW
BELMAR – Following attempts to dramatically markup goods and services being offered to Belmar residents in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, Mayor Matthew Doherty today released the following statement to announce that anyone caught price gouging in town will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
“In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, Belmar residents have seen both the best and the worst of what society has to offer. We’ve been fortunate to have food, clothing and financial donations come in from all over the world, along with hundreds of volunteers kind enough to come into town to help with clean-up efforts.
Unfortunately, we’ve also seen people descend upon town attempting to take advantage of Belmar residents.
Supply and demand is a fundamental business tenet that clearly has its place within every community, but attempting to take advantage of Belmar residents after Hurricane Sandy is immoral and illegal. We will act swiftly and decisively to aggressively protect our residents from price gouging. Anyone caught attempting to drastically inflate prices on goods and services in Belmar will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
I would like to thank all of those who have come forward and offered their time, their services and their generous donations to Belmar.com. In the past week we have banded together and Belmar has made significant strides towards our eventual recovery. The small minority of individuals attempting to take advantage of tragedy in our community cannot, and will not, be tolerated.”

BELMAR PREPARES FOR HURRICANE SANDY

BELMAR PREPARES FOR HURRICANE SANDY
Date: October 25, 2012
Hurricane Sandy is forecasted to impact Belmar this weekend. The storm is anticipated to arrive by Sunday afternoon and the Borough of Belmar has already commenced storm preparations. We urge our residents not to take this lightly; the safety of our residents is our utmost priority.
A “code red” will be issued this evening, advising residents of storm preparation measures. Our Department of Public Works and Police Departments are working diligently to prepare the Borough for the storm. Efforts to mitigate flooding at both Silver Lake and Lake Como will commence Friday, October 26, 2012 at approximately 10:00am. This flood mitigation effort will require parts of Ocean Avenue to be closed and Belmar Police Department will be coordinating with County Officials to ensure that the road closures and traffic flows are properly executed.
The Borough recommends that residents have flashlights and batteries at the ready along with all prescription drugs filled. Have a first aid kit and know emergency routes. It is also a good idea to be sure that vehicles have a full tank of gas. Please secure your home and outdoor items such as porch furniture, garbage cans, flags, umbrellas and grills.
If you have a health condition that would be adversely impacted by the loss of power, please contact the Belmar Police Department at 681-1700 with your name and location so that we may assist you in the event of power loss.
Additional code reds will be issued as the storm develops and as further information is available.
Residents are encouraged to follow the storm on the news and check the Belmar website for continuous updates.
