SOUTH AMBOY – A resolution listed in the consent agenda of last week’s city council meeting rejected all bids for the South Amboy Waterfront Walkway reconstruction project.

According to the document, City Engineer Mark Rasimowicz performed a technical review of the bid packages from several bidders and recommended that they all be rejected.

Rasimowicz also recommended that the city authorize the re-bid of the project and it would be in the best interest of South Amboy to reject all the current offers on the table.

Mayor Henry acknowledged the project during his opening comments.

“Unfortunately there were some discrepancies so we had to reject the bids and, unfortunately, we have to go out to re-bid this project,” he said. “We do have 90 percent of this being paid by FEMA so even though we did go out to bond for this project we will be able to pay that bond back very quickly.”
