The Town of Randolph is seeking engineering services for slope stabilization in three locations along North Randolph Road. The selected services provider will perform the following: 1.

Identify any right-of-way issues and/or needs, including any temporary construction easements. 4. Create a project schedule. 5. Prepare bid documents. 6. Facilitate a pre-bid meeting with prospective contractors. 7. Provide inspection services to ensure the work was done according to specifications. The July 2023 storm, due to a combination of rain totals, water volume and force, tree damage, and soils, significantly damaged and destabilized slopes in six separate locations along North Randolph Road. The smaller areas of damage will be addressed through the use of Town resources; the three larger areas require engineering services to identify potential remedies capable of both restoring the area to pre-disaster conditions and mitigating future damages, to the extent practicable. The areas of slope instability and damage are listed in the table, along with dimensions and GPS coordinates: Area #2 2 - 2,156 CY of Embankment at a slope (4,311 Cubic Yards / 2), 97 FT long x 12 FT wide x 100 FT deep. - GPS Coordinates 43.97463, -72.56878 Area #2 3 - 4,045 CY of Embankment at a slope (8,089 Cubic Yards / 2), 182 FT long x 12 FT wide x 100 FT deep. - GPS Coordinates 43.97473, -72.56995 Area #2 4 - 5,297 CY of Embankment at a slope (10,593 Cubic Yards / 2), 143 FT long x 20 FT wide x 100 FT deep. - GPS Coordinates 43.97545, -72.57245 Proposals shall include the following: 1.
