The work of this Contract is located within the Lower South Providence area of the City of Providence and northern area of City of Cranston, Rhode Island. The Work Area is defined as the area shown in the Project Area Map in Appendix C of the Project Manual. A list of addresses for lead service line replacements is included in Appendix A of the Project Manual. These are addresses which are required to be contacted and inspected; if it is found that the service line is lead , and the homeowner signs the Right of Entry (ROE) and Release Form for Lead Service Line Replacement, the lead service lines are to be replaced. B. The Accelerated Lead Service Line Replacement Program will target replacements of lead service lines within the Lower South Providence area of the City of Providence and northern area of City of Cranston, Rhode Island, as included in Appendix A.

Addresses may be added to and removed from the list in Appendix A by the Engineer or Owner within the defined Work Area throughout the project duration for a total of up to 654 service line replacements. Most replacements are likely to be full replacements (i.e. both public side and private side are replaced).
