Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

FLORHAM PARK - Borough Council members on Thursday, Aug. 14, awarded a $911,100 contract to CFM Construction of the Stirling section of Long Hill Township to start work on the municipal pools makeover.

Bids for the contract were accepted and opened on Tuesday, Aug. 5.

Work is expected to begin next month after the pool closes and be completed in time for the pool to open on the Memorial Day weekend in 2015.

CFM was one of six companies to submit bids, but it was not the company with the lowest bid initially.

That was RJR Engineering of Califon Borough, which submitted a bid at $817,000.

RJR, however, withdrew its bid due to an error the company had made.

The other companies submitting bids included Vincent Pools of Pipersville, Pa., at $940,000; Ray Palmer Associates of Dover, $987,600; Carlton Pools of Warmester, Pa., $1,025,623, and Cypresco Industries Inc. of Neptune, $1,263,823.

Exciting Upgrade

An ordinance allowing the borough to issue $950,000 in bond anticipation notes for the work was adopted in the spring. The remaining $50,000 will be taken from the boroughs capital improvement fund as a down-payment.

In a previous interview, Borough Councilman William Zuckerman, the councils Community Services liaison, called the pending project exciting.

Mountain Rides fine tunes Ketchum hub agreements

Plan on track for constructing transportation hub this fall

By TERRY SMITH Express Staff Writer

The Mountain Rides Transportation Authority is getting its ducks in order for construction this fall of a transportation hub at the intersection of Sun Valley Road and East Avenue in Ketchum. Executive Director Jason Miller advised the organizations board of directors at a Wednesday meeting that an invitation for bids is now out to find a construction contractor. Miller said he anticipates construction will start toward the end of October. Construction will mainly involve building bulb outs, ostensibly for pedestrian safety, at the four corners of the Sun Valley Road-East Avenue intersection. Mountain Rides also intends that the hub will have three bus shelters, lighting and signage for passenger information and new landscaping. The hub will serve as an information center and transfer point for five bus routes serving the Ketchum-Sun Valley area. As things now stand, Valley Route buses, which provide service between the north and south of the valley, will not be included in the transfer plan. Valley Route buses now traverse Ketchum on Main Street, which is two blocks west of the transportation hub location. At Wednesdays meeting, the board of directors reviewed three agreements that the board plans to approve in September. Two of the agreements involve easements for the installation of bus shelters, while the third is an agreement between Mountain Rides and the city of Ketchum that specifies responsibilities of the two entities pertaining to the hub. The Mountain Rides-Ketchum agreement provides that maintenance and upkeep of the bus shelters and their locations be the responsibility of Mountain Rides. Electricity costs for bus-shelter heaters and digital signage will also be the responsibility of Mountain Rides, as will snow removal within the bus shelter and other passenger waiting areas. The city of Ketchum will be responsible for landscaping maintenance, litter and garbage removal, upkeep of sidewalks, the bulb outs, and curbs and gutter and for snow removal outside of the bus shelter and passenger waiting areas. The other two agreements are for easements for bus shelters. One will be built on the southeast corner of the intersection in front of The Elephants Perch store and two others will be built on the northwest corner of the intersection in front of the Visitor Center. The agreement for The Elephants Perch shelter would be between Mountain Rides and the property owner, listed in the draft agreement as C&D of Idaho Inc. The agreement provides an easement for five years only. We tried to get it as long-term as possible and this was all we could get, Miller said in response to questions from the board. The draft agreement for shelters at the Visitor Center provides an easement for 15 years and is between Mountain Rides and the property owner, the Ketchum Urban Renewal Agency.

The practice set was hard-fought, and when Djokovic fell behind in the tie-break he signalled his commitment by hurling his racket to the ground and walloping a ball out of the stadium (or as near as you can get in this cavernous place). The mini-tantrum seemed to revive him and he promptly reeled off six straight points to finish the contest and underline Murrays recent problems in closing out winning positions.

From Murrays perspective, even to reach the second week would be a respectable achievement. He opens against Robin Haase, the talented Dutchman who gave him a real scare in the second round of the 2011 US Open.

If he gets through that one, his most likely opponents would be Radek Stepanek, who beat him at Queens a couple of months ago, in the second round, followed by possible meetings with Verdasco and Tsonga.

Of course, draws rarely pan out the way they look on paper, but there is no doubt that Murrays quarter of the field is the spikiest on show. By contrast, the two Swiss masters Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka can thank the US Opens computers for spitting out some comfortable opponents in the early rounds.

On the womens side, Heather Watson should be pleased to have drawn Romanias Sorana Cirstea, who started the year just outside the top 20 but now stands at No81. If Watson wins that one, she could play Wimbledon finalist Eugenie Bouchard in what would be a fascinating second-round match-up, especially as Bouchard has also struggled for form since the grass-court season.

Britains No2, Johanna Konta, also has a winnable tie against Shahar Peer, of Israel, who stands 44 places below her on the ladder at No155. The most enticing first-round match in the tournament, though, must be the one between defending champion Serena Williams and the gifted and stylish 18-year-old Taylor Townsend.

Williams has rediscovered her form since the bizarre episode at Wimbledon when she walked onto court in what looked like a hypnotic trance, and could not even catch the balls when they were passed to her, let alone hit them across the net. Asked about the mystery on Thursday, she was typically enigmatic. I worked really hard before Wimbledon, Williams said, but it just didnt transpire there.

Police say solution to problem of stock on roads lies in partnership, not blame Friday, 22 August 2014 - 11:58am

Waikato

Waikato Police are urging land owners to check the integrity of their fences and gates and motorists to ensure their vehicles are up to warrant of fitness standard following a number of crashes and near misses this week.

District Road Policing Manager, Inspector Freda Grace, said the week started with a driver being seriously hurt in a two car collision with a cow in rongo near Kopu early on Monday morning.

"Then on Tuesday morning another driver was seriously hurt when his car collided with a car on SH2 between Ngatea and Kerephi shortly after 3am."

"If that wasn't of enough concern our staff, animal control officers and concerned members of the public also had to deal with a number of other incidents to try and prevent further road trauma."

Those incidents include;

6-10 sheep on SH23/ Manukau Rd Raglan about midday on Sunday. A cow on SH2 near Steen Rd Waitakaruru about 2pm Sunday. Four cows wandering from Island Block Rd on to SH1 at Meremere about 4pm Sunday. A large sheep on SH27 at Patetonga about 4.15pm Sunday. A cow running along Old Tauranga rd near Waihi about 8am on Monday. Five cows loose on SH1 at Ohinewai about 4.30pm on Monday. Seven large cows on Bush Rd near Ngatea about 6.30am Monday. A large deer on SH29 on the west side of the Kaimai summit about 9.45am on Monday. Three sheep on the road on SH25 near Whitianga at 12.20pm on Monday. 10-15 cows walking along Waitomo Caves Rd about 4.20am Monday. A cow on SH3 near Ohaupo about 11am Tuesday. Three goats on the Thames Coast Rd about midday on Thursday. Two cows on SH3 near Airport Rd, Rukuhia about 6.35am Friday.

"In addition to these we've had about half a dozen incidents of dogs on rural highways over the same period including two incidents where the animals have had to be put down.

"In each incident there was the potential for serious injuries or worse being suffered and Police are very appreciative of motorists taking the time to notify authorities of potential risks and in many cases, making efforts to usher stock back into paddocks before accidents occur."

Solution to problem of stock on roads lies in partnership

Dorothy and Marv Davenport received plenty of community sympathy after they lost $6,000 in an asphalt paving scam earlier this month. One Longview company even repaired the shoddy job for free.

The Cathlamet couple were approached on Aug. 1 by a man offering a deal for asphalt left over from another job. The small paving job at the Elochoman Valley Road home turned into a more extensive project. At the end of it, the workers demanded $9,000, with the Davenports eventually agreeing to pay $6,000.

The couple blamed themselves for falling for the scam. But following the Aug. 8 Daily News story, Dorothy Davenport said several people told her about their similar experiences.

People were very sympathetic. It made me feel better that we werent the only ones, though I feel bad they had to go through the same situation, too, Davenport, 75, said Thursday.

Washington State Department of Labor & Industries is still investigating the case.

After reading the Davenports story, Scott Schill, manager of Accurate Asphalt Solutions in Longview, offered to repair the driveway for free. Schill said he sees paving scams all the time and hates how scammers have blighted the industry.

I was heartbroken. Ive done work for the family. Theyre part of my customer base, so I wanted to take care of them, Schill said Thursday. Theyre good people.

After surveying the bad paving job, Schill said he wouldnt have even paid $6,000.

They got ripped off. Some of that asphalt was a half-inch thick. It wouldnt have made it through the winter, he said.

Workers spent eight hours Wednesday cutting out the bad asphalt and laying down new blacktop, which was donated by Lakeside Industries. Davenport said she was grateful for the generosity from Accurate Asphalt and Lakeside, which saved the family from waiting just before winter to get the pavement repaired.
