CTDOT - Replacement of Retaining Wall Along Route 44 in the Town of Putnam *The value for this project is based on a financial range. The value is listed as the highest possible cost from the range provided by a stakeholder or official project document. Work under this Item shall consist of the securing, construction and dismantling of a temporary Waste Stockpile Area (WSA) at a location to be provided by the District prior to Project commencement. All surplus soils (Controlled Materials) excavated during construction activities shall be stockpiled in the WSA. The WSA is to be used exclusively for temporary stockpiling of surplus excavated soils from the Project limits for determination of disposal classification. Work done under this item consists of setting survey boundary monuments along Right-of-Way lines at the locations indicated on the plans or as directed by the Engineer. Work under this item shall include all materials, equipment, tools, and labor required to perform the following: (1) Loading and transportation of surplus soils (Controlled Materials) excavated from the Project limits to the designated temporary Waste Stockpile Area (WSA); (2) Stockpiling, covering, securing, and maintaining Controlled Materials transported to the WSA throughout the duration of the project; (3) Maintaining the WSA throughout the duration of the project; and (4) Loading, transportation, and disposal of Controlled Materials to a State-approved treatment, recycling, or disposal facility for final off-site disposal/ recycling/treatment. An estimated 4,160 cubic yards (CY) of soil have been designated as surplus and are therefore considered Controlled Materials for the Project. Project soils are assumed to be contaminated with regulated substances at non-hazardous levels. Further information regarding anticipated soil conditions is noted in the "Notice to Contractor - Environmental Investigations." It is noted that actual levels found during construction may vary and such variations will not be considered a change in condition provided the Controlled Materials can still be disposed as non-hazardous at one or more of the disposal facilities listed herein. Worker health and safety protocols that address potential risks of exposure to sitespecific hazards shall be incorporated in the site-specific Health and Safety Plan. This work shall consist of measures to control water pollution and soil erosion which become necessary for the completion of the work, but for which no item is provided in the Contract. Such measures include: o temporary check dams, water bars, berms, dikes, dams o temporary sediment traps o pump settling basins o silt fence o inlet protection o hay bales o erosion control matting o fiber rolls, coir rolls, wattles o gravel, stone, riprap o mulch o permanent or temporary seeding o slope drains, ditches, channels, temporary drainage measures o dust control o topsoil o other erosion control materials, devices, or methods If a situation arises that requires immediate deployment of water pollution control measures, the Engineer will direct the Contractor to use this item to prosecute the work. If the Contractor proposes changes in construction methods or staging which would affect the as designed pollution controls, plans for revised pollution controls shall be submitted for the Engineer's approval prior to start of work. This work shall consist of the installation and removal of temporary pavement at the locations shown on the Plans or as directed by the Engineer. The work shall include the following: 1. Excavation, removal, and disposal of all existing materials within the limits of the temporary pavement including sawcutting of any existing pavement, 2. Grading and compacting remaining subbase or subgrade, 3. Furnishing, installation, and compaction of new subbase, 4. Application of tack coat as required on the vertical edges of any sawcut areas and between pavement lifts, 5. Placement and compaction of bituminous concrete pavement, 6. Removal of all materials associated with the temporary pavement work as shown in the Contract documents or determined by the Engineer. This work does not include restoration of the area to a permanent condition after temporary pavement is removed, including turf establishment or final paving, which shall be performed under separate items. This work shall consist of milling out deteriorated PCC pavement to a depth between 1.5 to 2.5 inches, disposing of pavement millings, chipping and removing loose and spalled concrete pavement, sweeping and cleaning, application of tack coat on all surfaces within the milled area, and placement of Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) or an equivalent Polymer Modified Asphalt (PMA) to match the elevation of the surrounding pavement. For road sections being milled and paved, all patching operations must be completed after milling is complete and before paving begins. All patching operations shall be completed within one working day following milling and shall be completed before traffic is permitted to resume on the exposed roadway. This item shall consist of furnishing and installing textured and colored formed concrete surface on precast concrete retaining wallsystem modules during their fabrication process using simulated stone molds (form liners) and a color staining system designed to duplicate closely the appearance of the existing stone wall to be replaced and matched in the location and to the limits shown on the plans, including accessories and hardware and in accordance with these specifications. The architectural form liner simulated stone masonry shall be monolithically formed with the concrete. This item shall consist of designing, furnishing and constructing a retaining wall and all incidentals necessary to complete the work in the location, at the grades, and to the dimensions and details shown on the Plans. Retaining Wall Selection: The retaining wall type shall be selected from the list of retaining walls shown on the Plans. The Plans may also detail a cast-in-place reinforced concrete retaining wall. The Engineer will reject any proposed retaining wall type that is not listed on the Plans. The Plans will list all proprietary retaining walls that are appropriate for each Site. This list does not warrant that the walls can be designed to meet either the dimensional, structural, or geotechnical constraints at each Site. This work shall consist of providing a temporary shuttle service for transporting pedestrians and cyclists around the closed portion of Pomfret Street/Route 44 in the Town of Putnam during the allowable roadway closure periods for replacement of the existing retaining wall. This work shall consist of furnishing, preparing and installing ductile iron water pipes of the size and type specified, bedding material, rubber gasket push-on joints, restrained joints, fittings, insulation, steel sleeve/casing for pipe protection, water pipe trench excavation, backfilling, connecting proposed water pipe to existing system, testing and disinfection, plugging or abandoning existing pipes and removal of existing pipe within trench limits, as shown on the plans or as directed by the Engineer.
