About this Project
LKB Engineering was retained by the Town of Oyster Bay to provide engineering services to design, permit, provide construction support services, as well as construction management/construction inspection services for this project.
The project is funded through the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery (GOSR). Its intent is to make improvements that will protect the Philadelphia Avenue area of the Village of Massapequa Park from the impacts of flooding due to stormwater. The project location is routinely impacted by flooding from rainfall events.
The scope included preparation of a design report to identify deficiencies and needs related to the drainage system and roadways, as well as proposes solutions. At the completion and acceptance of the Design Report, final design was progressed, and contract documents (plans, specification and estimates) were prepared.
Major components of the design included installation of new drainage structures and pipes, raising the roadway grades, replacement of concrete curbs and aprons, installation of sidewalk ramps at sidewalk intersection quadrants, and replacement of roadway pavement. The design is completed and the project will proceed to construction.
LKB Engineering provided bid services, including responding to inquiries from prospective bidders; review of contractors’ qualifications and references; preparation of a bid summary; and recommendation of the award to the lowest responsible and qualified bidder. LKB Engineering is providing construction support services during the construction phase, which include review and approval of detailed shop drawings, catalog cuts, and miscellaneous submittals for compliance with contract documents; review and responses to RFI’s (Request for Information) and Change Order Requests; and attendance of progress and project meetings, as necessary.
LKB Engineering will provide construction management/inspection services which will include overseeing all construction operations and the placement of Work Zone Traffic Control.
This project was originally awarded to The Vertex Companies, LLC, transferred to LKB Engineering, PLLC in December 2024.
