Friday, March 7, 2014: We learned this news today from J.P. Gradone, COO of the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association
“Yesterday, Neptune Township awarded the contract for the middle boardwalk to Epic Management, Inc. in the amount of $1,135,570. The contract must be approved by the Township Committee on Monday night. Upon approval of the Township Committee, the contractor will begin preparation for mobilization, which includes any required bonding, material procurement, and pre-construction meetings. No official start date has been announced, but the boardwalk should be completed sometime this summer.”
Epic Manaagement is based in Piscataway and has been in business since 1971.
Dr. Carol: We sent your question to JP Gradone, COO of the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association, and this is his reply:
“Since Neptune Township is issuing the Bond, they also are responsible for
the project management and contract administration. Because of the great
working relationship that we have with them, we will be working very closely
with them, especially in the project management portion of the construction.
We will be the eyes at the sight on a day to day basis. It actually works
to our advantage since the Township is so much more familiar with the FEMA
processes for contract administration. “

Ocean Grove.
I’m puzzled about why Neptune is awarding the contract for rebuilding the boardwalk. I thought the Camp Meeting would be the organization to do so.
Spring is SPRUNGING here in Frankfurt. Just enjoyed listening to the Coasters SEARCHIN`on a Saturday morning over a cappuccino in my favorite Cafe´.
Thanks for keeping us up to date on everything happening in the Grove. Looking forward to strolling along those new BOARDS this summer.
Keep up the good work.
Greetings form here….
