Site work for a civil project in Lambertville, New Jersey. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project; and bridge / tunnel.

This project consists of emergency repairs to the Upper the Arnett Avenue stormwater conveyance system as a result of damages incurred during Tropical Storm Idas flooding impacts to the City of Lambertville on August 31, 2021. This area was further inspected for the City by a closed-circuit television (CCTV) vendor with report information and supplemental videos/photos available upon request. The culvert begins just east of Route 29 (N. Main Street) and crosses to Arnett Avenue where it then changes direction within the rear yard properties of #253 to #259 N. Main Street to an outfall adjacent to the Diamond Silver Parking Lot. This repair will require restoring conveyance through a collapsed debris blockage to match pre-existing hydraulic conditions that has created a sink hole within the rear properties, severely reducing the stormwater capacity of the existing 5 x 4 pipe culvert believed to be composed of various materials including concrete and flagstone. Actual limits of the blockage will be determined as part of this contract efforts through careful excavation removal and vacuum excavation to provide sediment cleaning of the approx. 225 LF culvert span. Culvert repairs are anticipated to require approx. 40 LF of reinforced concrete three-sided culvert, to replace and re-establish the stormwater conveyance capacity, and to fill, compact and restore the rear yard property areas affected by the culvert repairs. Disturbances to the adjacent Diamond Silver parking lot including limited curbing, fencing and pavement areas affected by the trench excavation will also be required. Several tree removals are anticipated to be removed prior to the repairs; however, stump removals will be the responsibility of the contractor. A final CCTV inspection upon completion of construction limits will be performed prior to project closeout. The contractor shall be responsible for providing all labor, supervision, trade skills, materials, equipment and clean up restoration required for this project as described in the Construction Documents.
