OCEAN CITY -- The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has started the bidding process for a $6-million beach replenishment project in this resort.

On Jan. 10, 2007 the DEP released bid specifications for the needed beach project that should result in a beach re-nourishment project this spring. The project will result in additional sand on the beaches from the north end of the island to 12th Street.

“This has been one of our priorities and it is good to see that the State is fast tracking this project,” Mayor Sal Perillo stated in a Jan. 28 release.

State funding will pay for 75 percent of the cost and the remainder will be paid by the city. Ocean City funding for this project was budgeted as part of the 2007 Capital Plan.

Once bids are received and revised, the state will award a contract and the contractor should be mobilized by April.

Additional improvements to the stormwater piping on the beaches are also planned as part of this project.
