Culvert #23 is a 15" x 50' steel culvert that will be replaced with an 18" x 50' steel culvert. It is located between 2212 Camp Brook Road and 2398 Camp Brook Road. Culvert #5 GPS: 43.855312 /-72.659619 Culvert #23 GPS: 43.844262 /-72.684043 Culverts are marked out with stake and survey tape. Camp Brook road is a paved Federal Highway, and as such will require trench patching. This will require 16" of dense grade stone, 8" of fine crushed gravel with compaction in 1' lifts. Pavement is required to be a 2 1/2" base course of Type II bituminous concrete, with a wearing course of 1 1/2" Type III bituminous concrete for the overlay.

Proposals shall, at a minimum, accomplish the following Minimum Scope of Work: Culvert Installation: 1. Minimize disturbance to the natural system and surrounding land and install sandbag darns in the stream and use a pump, with riprap placed at the discharge, to convey the water around the excavation, if necessary. 2. Excavate the culvert area; remove and dispose of old culvert. 3. The bottom width of the culvert trench should be twice the width of the culvert, with sidewalls no steeper than 1:1. Excavate 10 feet downstream of the culvert discharge to a depth of 18" for riprap. Use erosion control precautions. 4. Lay pipe up slope, starting at outlet end. 5. The longitudinal profile should be set at the same slope as the natural stream gradient. 6. A minimum of 24" of fill over a culvert is required. 16" of dense grade stone and 8" of fine crushed gravel with compaction in 1' lifts. 7. Place 12 inch minus riprap in the excavated outlet area tamping it level with the stream bottom. 8. Hydroseed or seed and mulch, all disturbed gravel areas. 9. Trench patch over both areas. Pavement must be a 2 1/4" base course of Type II bituminous concrete with a wearing course of 1 1/2" Type III bituminous concrete for the overlay, to a width of approximately 4' by 27 feet in length over each culvert.
