Bayonne Municipal Council awards 2025 roadwork contracts
The construction contract totals $1,708,662.55, and two grants will offset costs before crews begin work, likely in spring 2027.
Two hosts walk through the week’s edition in conversation — 2025 roadway improvements get engineering and, executive order no, and what’s coming next. Generated by Aware, from this week’s verified summaries.
The Business Administrator said the road projects had stalled, but were back on track; weather makes an immediate construction start unlikely.
Bayonne’s next round of street repairs has contracts, but no winter start. The Bayonne Municipal Council awarded Center State Engineering up to $243,850 for surveying, design and construction management on the 2025 roadway improvement project. It awarded Revecs Contracting Corp. the $1,708,662.55 construction contract. The work covers eight road segments, including sections near Broadway and John F. Kennedy Boulevard.
The Business Administrator told the Bayonne Municipal Council that the engineering contract covers the work needed to design, bid and manage the project; the construction contract pays for the roadwork itself. The city received a $629,407 municipal aid grant and an $800,000 transportation grant for the 2025 project. Those grants will offset construction costs, so local tax dollars will not cover the full contract.
The Business Administrator said the 2025 and 2026 road programs had stalled but were back on track. Weather makes an immediate start unfavorable, he said, and work will likely begin in spring 2027. The city aims to complete the work in the first half of that year. Before construction, the administration plans to share more information around pre-construction meetings and may use Bay 911 text messages to reach residents.
Executive Order No. 7 establishing salary range for Assistant Municipal Attorney/Municipal Prosecutor
The Bayonne Municipal Council received Executive Order No. 7 as an officer report. The mayor’s order establishes a salary range for the combined title of Assistant Municipal Attorney/Municipal Prosecutor. The City Clerk read the submission under Officers’ Reports, rather than presenting it as a council resolution for a vote.
The account identifies the position covered by the order but does not give the range’s minimum or maximum salary. It does not describe a change to anyone’s current pay or say whether the position will be filled. What it records is the establishment of a range for the title, not an appointment.
No additional discussion appears in the recorded caucus segment, and no separate vote on the officer report is recorded. For residents following municipal pay decisions, the distinction matters: the Bayonne Municipal Council received notice of the mayor’s executive order, but the account provides no salary figures or further action on the position.
Bayonne Municipal Council considers sewer contract
The Bayonne Municipal Council considered rejecting Way Construction Inc.’s bid for a sewer-main replacement and awarding the work to Montana Construction Corp. for more than $2,181,402. The Business Administrator said Way Construction documented a substantial bid error, and the recommended replacement bidder met the project’s budget estimate.
The bid change would determine who replaces the sewer main and how the project meets I-Bank financing requirements.
Bayonne Municipal Council awards 2026 roadwork contracts
The Bayonne Municipal Council awarded Revecs Contracting Corp. a $1,371,770.35 construction contract for the 2026 roadway program, alongside a professional services contract of up to $195,425. A $732,367 transportation grant will offset costs, and the city aims to finish the work in the first half of 2027.
The contracts set up another year of street repairs, with grant money covering part of the cost.
Bayonne Municipal Council advances redevelopment options
The Bayonne Municipal Council advanced agreements for Block 660.01, Lot 1, and introduced related ordinances with public hearings set for December 16, 2026. The redeveloper has until February 1, 2027, to choose between a residential project of at least 225 units and a commercial-recreational facility.
Either choice requires the redeveloper to complete a road connection and provide public pedestrian access.
Bayonne Municipal Council increases rock salt contract
The Bayonne Municipal Council amended its Atlantic Salt contract to add $100,000 for rock salt used on city streets. The increase brings the total contract amount above $200,000; no additional discussion was recorded during the consent-agenda reading.
The higher contract amount allows the city to buy more salt for street treatment.
