Site work for a road / highway in Rome, New York. Completed plans call for site work for a road / highway.

The Work of this Contract consists primarily of the placement and compaction of a 2-foot soil cover at 701 Lawrence Street in the City of Rome, New York. The surface elevations of the cover system have been designed to allow for storm water drainage off the cover, with no low spots for water to collect. The contractor will be required to grade the current site to generate a soil surface that is roughly two feet below the elevation of the proposal final cover elevation. Generally, the site boundary will slope from the northeast to the southwest where an existing 18" culvert is located to the south of the pavement on Lawrence Street. This culvert drains the site storm water across the bike path and into the canal. The balance of cut and fill (approximately 450 cubic yards) from the site will promote drainage to this area. This will allow for the twofoot cover to be placed uniformly across the site. Two-feet of cover material cannot be placed uniformly to the extents of the site boundary in all locations around the perimeter of the site. Generally, the site boundary on the south and east will be excavated two-feet vertically to account for the two-foot cover material. This will provide the two-foot cover required and to match grade outside of the site boundary. The cover will be placed in the same manner on the eastern portion of the site up to the macadam driveway where the soil cover will transition to the existing elevation of the driveway. The north side of the site will transition the cover to the existing berm adjacent to the drainage ditch along Luquer Street. This top two feet will include six inches of topsoil which is to be seeded. Contractors who intend to submit a bid must call or email to be placed on the official plan holders list.
