MESSAGE FROM GOVERNOR PHILIP D. MURPHY STATE OF NJ 01 The Diabetes Foundation has opened a hotline for diabetics in need of assistance, MESSAGE FROM including free back up emergency kits. https://diabetesfoundationinc.org/ or 973849-5234. We are incredibly grateful for their partnership and support.

THE GOVERNOR 02 The Governor signed Executive Order 109 today which suspends elective surgeries and invasive procedures for medical and dental effective 5pm, Friday March 27th. We realize this may cause stress for some who now need to postpone elective surgeries. We ask for understanding that both medical space and equipment must be prioritized right now. We encourage people to reach out to their doctors to discuss.

03 For Hudson County residents or first responders working in Hudson County, testing is available by appointment only at the Hudson Regional Hospital in Secaucus only for individuals exhibiting symptoms. Call 201 388-1097 for appointment. People will not be tested if they go without an appointment.

COVID19.nj.gov remains the best entry point for most people with questions, but as always we are here to assist if we can be helpful.

Recognizing that the most underserved communities are hit the hardest in times of crisis, first lady Tammy Murphy announced the launch of the New Jersey Pandemic Relief Fund on Tuesday.

The nonprofit’s goal is to marshal resources across the state to identify critical needs and fight the economic and social impact of COVID-19 on New Jersey’s vulnerable communities, she said.

Procurement Alerts NOTICE TO BIDDERS

Rebuild by Design Hudson River Project SUBMITTALS ARE DUE MARCH 31, 2020, 5:00PM EST. LATE SUBMITTALS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

The State of New Jersey, through a grant supplied by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is overseeing the final design of the Rebuild by Design Hudson River Project. The State has procured AECOM to provide engineering and design services in support of this project. The Rebuild By Design Hudson River Project takes a multifaceted approach intended to address flooding from both major storm surge and high tide, as well as from heavy rainfall events. These events often occur individually, but can also occur together, increasing their impacts. The project seeks to benefit flooding areas inside the project area, which encompasses the City of Hoboken, extending into Weehawken and Jersey City, with the following approximate boundaries: the Hudson River to the east; Baldwin Avenue (in Weehawken) to the north; the Palisades to the west; and 18th Street, Washington Boulevard and 14th Street (in Jersey City) to the south.

As part of this program, the State of New Jersey and AECOM are committed to meeting Section 3 (24 CFR Part 135) of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended (12 U.S.C. 1701u), which provides incentives for low income persons and companies that meet the standards for a Section 3 Business to participate in federally funded programs.
