The surge created by Sandy inundated the Long Slip Canal and overtopped its bulkheads, significantly contributing to the flooding of the Yard as well as the City of Hoboken and Jersey City. In conjunction with the design and construction of the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail Transit System in the late 1990s, AECOM and its Legacy companies studied the potential for filling Long Slip for virtually its entire length. AECOM and its Legacy companies have been involved on this project since. The AECOM Team is experienced, knowledgeable and well positioned to execute the technical scope of work outlined in this Request for Proposal associated with the proposed station development and the rail systems and support structures needed to achieve the project goals. Currently, the AECOM led team is assisting NJ TRANSIT, under Contract Task Order 7, with project planning, coordination, permitting support and conceptual engineering services associated with the proposed canal filling, CSO extension and new rail facility development at the Long Slip site. Previously, AECOM and its Legacy companies provided professional services which included evaluation of design and construction alternatives, development of regulatory permitting applications, preparation of engineering drawings and specifications and coordination of interfaces with project stakeholders. Subsequently, two limited project development activities were completed in the 2013-2014 time period under an existing contract; initial data retrieval and review, performed under Contract Task Order 4, and FTA grant application support performed under Contract Task Order 4, Revision 1. Our team brings the ideal mix of local expertise, knowledge, and innovation as evidenced by our team’s collaborative work with all regulators, reviewers, and stakeholders of this project. Our team will be led by Edward Hrinewski, STS, Project Manager, who is no stranger to NJ TRANSIT. He has successfully led the development of HBLRT system’s program, including the MOS-3/38th Street Bayonne Extension, Danforth Interlocking, MOS-1, and MOS-2 projects. These projects are proof of his ability to lead a major design effort. As Officer-in-Charge, I will provide Mr. Hrinewski will top level leadership for cost, schedule, and quality, and will promote coordination with NJ TRANSIT for open communications and cost-effective solutions. I will provide the full corporate support necessary, and will oversee the broad execution of the project. Our project manager will also have the support of John Fiore, PE who will serve as Program Coordinator, and who is extremely familiar with this project and the project site. Mr. Fiore has been involved in the development of the Long Slip Canal Project for 17 years; he was the Task Manager for the 3-year engineering effort that developed alternatives analyses associated with the extending of a municipal combined sewer overflow (CSO) and filling the canal to facilitate future development. Mr. Fiore’s background and project specific experience will insure comprehensive coordination between the current engineering activities and the scope of work proposed in this request. Our team also includes six local DBE firms who hare well known by NJ TRANSIT and who have worked very successfully in the past with AECOM. They include InGroup Consulting (Records Management); JCMS, Inc. (Cost Estimating, Scheduling, Risk Management, and Records Management); Naik Consulting Group, PC (Surveying); Sowiski Sullivan Architects, PC (Access / Egress); VJ Associates (Value Engineering); and Yu & Associates (Geotechnical Engineering). We have also engaged the services of Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. who will assist us with structural engineering, crew quarters building, and Track Design. The AECOM Quality Program is based on our ISO 9001:2008 certification, and we will make sure that this program is carried out to meet your cost, schedule, and quality expectations throughout. For this project to be successful, it will take a group of extremely dedicated and proven professionals who know the issues and have a track record of providing innovative, efficient, and implementable solutions; who offer a collaborative approach and have partnered with NJ TRANSIT and the FTA on past projects; and who are driven to deliver for NJ TRANSIT. Our team has the tools and depth of resources necessary for this assignment, as well as substantial prior experience in New Jersey, working under FTA guidelines, and extensive knowledge of the project site. As required in the RFP, AECOM acknowledges receipt of Addendum Number 1, dated April 20, 2016; and Addendum Number 2, dated May 10, 2016. We thank you for you consideration of AECOM’s proposal and we await your guidance on the next steps in this procurement. Should you have any questions or require clarification, please feel free to contact me at 212.973.2901, or by email [email protected].

  • 3.5: Freight Movement
    3.5 Freight Movement 3.5 Freight Movement A. INTRODUCTION This section describes the characteristics of the existing rail freight services and railroad operators in the project area. Also addressed is the relationship between those services and Build Alternative long-term operations. The study area contains several rail freight lines and yards that play key roles in the movement of goods to and from the Port of New York and New Jersey, the largest port on the east coast, as well as in the movement of goods vital to businesses and residents in multiple states. However, no long-term freight movement impacts are anticipated with the Build Alternative, and no mitigation measures will be required. B. SERVICE TYPES The following freight rail services are offered in the project area: • Containerized or “inter-modal” consists primarily of containers or Example of Doublestack Train with Maritime truck trailers moved on rail cars. Containers Intermodal rail traffic is considered the fastest growing rail freight market, and is anticipated to grow in the region between 3.9 and 5.6 percent annually through 2030, based on the NJTPA Freight System Performance Study (see Table 3.5-1). • Carload traffic consists of products that are typically moved in boxcars, hopper cars, tank cars, and special lumber cars over a long distance by rail, and then either transported directly by rail or Example of Carload Rail Traffic shifted to truck for delivery to more local customers. The characteristics of these commodities (e.g., bulk, heavy or over- dimensional) make rail the preferred option for long-distance movement.

  • NEC One-Year Implementation Plan: FY17 Contents
    Northeast Corridor One-Year Implementation Plan Fiscal Year 2017 September 2016 Congress established the Northeast Corridor Commission to develop coordinated strategies for improving the Northeast’s core rail network in recognition of the inherent challenges of planning, financing, and implementing major infrastructure improvements that cross multiple jurisdictions. The expectation is that by coming together to take collective responsibility for the NEC, these disparate stakeholders will achieve a level of success that far exceeds the potential reach of any individual organization. The Commission is governed by a board comprised of one member from each of the NEC states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland) and the District of Columbia; four members from Amtrak; and five members from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The Commission also includes non-voting representatives from four freight railroads, states with connecting corridors and several commuter operators in the Region. 2| NEC One-Year Implementation Plan: FY17 Contents Introduction 6 Funding Summary 8 Baseline Capital Charge Program 10 1 - Boston South Station 12 16 - Shore to Girard 42 2 - Boston to Providence 14 17 - Girard to Philadelphia 30th Street 44 3 - Providence to Wickford Junction 16 18 - Philadelphia 30th Street - Arsenal 46 4 - Wickford Junction to New London 18 19 - Arsenal to Marcus Hook 48 5 - New London to New Haven 20 20 - Marcus Hook to Bacon 50 6 - New Haven to State Line 22 21 - Bacon to Perryville 52 7 - State Line to New Rochelle 24 22 - Perryville to WAS 54 8 - New Rochelle to Harold Interlocking 26 23 - Washington Union Terminal 56 9 - Harold Interlocking to F Interlocking 28 24 - WAS to CP Virginia 58 10 - F Interlocking to PSNY 30 25 - Springfield to New Haven 60 11 - Penn Terminal 32 27 - Spuyten Duyvil to PSNY* 62 12 - PSNY to Trenton 34 28 - 30th St.

  • Montclair's Train Stations
    Montclair’s Train Stations Compiled by Montclair History Center Trustee, Helen Fallon September, 2018 l www.montclairhistory.org l [email protected] Lackawanna Station 291 Bloomfield Avenue • Montclair has six train stations. • There have been three different train station buildings at this Bloomfield Avenue site. • Rail service to this Bloomfield Avenue station began in 1856, when Montclair was still known as West Bloomfield. The line was first operated by the Newark & Bloomfield Rail Company; shortly thereafter it became part of the Morris & Essex Railroad; and in 1868 the line became part of the Delaware Lackawanna & Western Railroad (DL&W).1 • The first station, from the mid-1800s, was fairly simple – seen in the photos and drawing that follow. • From this Montclair terminus, commuters or travelers (or goods) could ride to Hoboken, where they would switch to the ferry to New York City. Travel time was said to be 1.5 hours each way. First Lackawanna Station 291 Bloomfield Avenue First Lackawanna Station 291 Bloomfield Avenue First Lackawanna Station 291 Bloomfield Avenue Second Lackawanna Station 291 Bloomfield Avenue • The next series of maps and photos show the second station building—a bit more elegant than the first, but, in keeping with other train stations of the time, designed to accommodate freight as much as passengers. • The map details – from 1890 and 1906 – show the extensive network of sidings and some of the industrial/commercial uses around the station. • I especially enjoy the photo with the white Borden’s Condensed Milk carriages lined up next to the train—either loading or unloading.
