Site work for a civil project in West Dover, Vermont. Completed plans call for site work for a bridge / tunnel.

This request for bids is for fully replacing and adding a second layer to decking on the green iron bridge section of the Valley Trail in the Town of Dover, Vermont. Send any questions on the RFB to: Eric Durocher Economic Development Director econdev@doververmont.com – 802.464.5100 x4 Goal for new decking implementation: Summer/Fall 2023 or As Soon As Possible The Town of Dover is looking to completely replace the decking on the bridge with modifications made to ensure easier maintenance and future replacement. Currently the decking is made up of 70.5 13’x12”x6” wooden beams. The beams are secured to the bridge using anywhere from 13 to 15 3/4” bolts each through the beams from the top to plates and nuts underneath securing to the metal trusses to the underside of the Bridge. There are also beams running on top of the current decking on either side of the bridge to fill the space between the decking and trusses which will need to be replaced as well. (See appendix A for photos) The desired replacement includes new base decking material (beam or otherwise) to replace the current sub decking on the bridge running across the bridge deck (horizontally). Additionally, a second thinner layer to be run with the travel direction of bridge (vertically) is desired to be easily removed and replaced as needed due to wear and tear from usage, maintenance and plowing. The final height of the decking must match the current height to ensure that it does not become a fall hazard and will not cause unneeded damage to our maintenance vehicles. If you have questions or would like to schedule a meeting on the project or a site visit, please contact Eric Durocher at econdev@doververmont.com or via phone at (802) 464-5100 x4.
