As of April 1, 2024, this project has not yet been awarded. A timeline for the award has not yet been established. School Meadow Brook Culvert Replacement MassDOT Prequal Required The scope of work includes construction of a modern precast concrete structure with a 10-foot wide and 4-foot-high opening with wingwalls. The proposed work will be performed by isolating the work zone with cofferdams on the upstream and downstream ends of the culvert, with bypass piping to allow streamflow to pass through. The work zone will be dewatered with a pump and all dewatering effluent will be discharged to a sediment basin to remove sediment before water is discharged back to the stream. The existing roadway will be excavated, and the old culvert will be removed. The new culvert will be put in place and backfilled, and the roadway paving and sidewalk will be put back in place. A beaver dam control structure will also be installed to prevent beavers from damming the entrance to the culvert. The proposed beaver dam control device will be built with a wildlife passageway to allow non-aquatic animals to pass around the edges of the beaver structure Every request for such interpretation should be in writing (typed, not handwritten) addressed to Weston & Sampson Engineers, Inc., 55 Walkers Brook Drive, Reading, Massachusetts 01867 Attention: CSD, or sent via email to Mahoney.Carolyn@wseinc.com and to be given consideration must be received at least ten working days prior to the date fixed for the opening of bids The CONTRACTOR hereby agrees to commence work under this contract on or before a date to be fixed in the written Notice to Proceed given by the OWNER to the CONTRACTOR and to fully complete the project within 180 consecutive days of the start date fixed in the Notice to Proceed.
