Veterans Field
Project Completed June 30, 2017
The completion of Veterans Field is dedicated to our children and residents of Edgewater who endured too long without a place to laugh, play, splash, walk, run, and relax. As of June 30, 2017, this all changed with the spectacular grand re-opening of one of the best recreational facilities in Bergen County.

June 9, 2016: Veteran’s Field Project Update
The Borough of Edgewater held what is called a “pre-construction meeting” yesterday, Wednesday June 8, 2016 at the Edgewater Community Center. This meeting was attended by representatives of Tomco Construction, the contractor hired by the Borough to begin work on the final phase of Veteran’s Field, CME Engineering, the Borough’s Municipal Engineer, who designed the project, and representatives of the Borough, which included the Borough Administrator, Public Works Superintendent, and Mayor McPartland. A pre-construction meeting is considered the “kick-off” to the project whereby a discussion is held in regard to the methods and procedures for the start of the work, permits and licensing, payment certifications, work hours, and any other matter that needs to be discussed prior to the start of work. The Borough is happy to report that Tomco Construction said they can be on site mobilizing, or preparing the site such as the placement of silt fencing, and bringing in the necessary equipment and supplies, as early as Monday June 13.

May 20, 2016: VETERAN’S FIELD TO BE COMPLETED
The Mayor and Council unanimously awarded a $7,471,110.89 contract to Tomco Construction of Mount Arlington New Jersey at the Mayor and Council meeting of Monday May 16 for the final completion of Veteran’s Field. Tomco Construction was the successful bidder who completed the little league field and Community Center parking lot last year, on time and on budget. Mayor McPartland was pleased with this award “this has been a difficult, tedious, and arduous road to get to this point, but we are at a good place”, saying after the meeting. The Mayor and Council had to advertise for two separate bids since January due to only one bidder submitting a bid the first time, that bid in excess of $12million, was deemed over budget by about $4.5million. The borough’s engineer, CME Associates, had estimated the final phase of the project to be about $8.5million. The bid was structured so that if the Mayor and Council felt the bids were excessive for certain components, those components could be removed to pare down the project scope and cost. This was done for the Tomco award, removing items such as fencing and a comfort station. The contingency plan prepared before the bidding was that if components were removed due to cost, the borough would consider bidding out those removed items separately or perhaps have the Public Works Department install some features. The work should begin sometime in June and as components are completed, those components will be opened to the public.
