Town of Strafford has a Design-build RFP/RFQ for road repairs from the 2023 flood. The purpose of this phase is to select a contractor to make road repairs and replacement affected by the July 2023 flood. The scope of work has been separated into two projects. Project-1 Ward Road Bridge and Project-2 Van Dyke Road Culvert. The scope of work includes design, permitting and construction as described and per the attachments. Project-1 FEMA-739759 Ward Road Bridge: The bridge was replaced by the town and the weight limit has been posted. The work consists of mitigation to the embankment, see FEMA worksheets and attached aerials. Project-2 FEMA-739756 Van Dyke Road Culvert: There are two options for replacing the culvert, see VTrans report and FEMA worksheet for additional information. Provide a bid for both options. In addition to the options below, 60 lineal feet of guardrail will be required per each side of the road. A. Option-A: A concrete box with an inside opening span of 12 feet and minimum height of 8 feet. The box invert should be buried 2 feet. This will result in a clear height of 6 feet above streambed, providing 72 square feet of waterway area. Bed retention sills should be added in the bottom of the structure. Sills should be 12 inches high across the full width of the structure and should be buried so the top of the sills will not be visible. Sills should be spaced no more than 8 feet apart throughout the structure with one sill placed at both the inlet and the outlet. The structure should be filled level to the streambed with E-Stone, Type II, allowing flow to be kept above the surface, providing the conditions necessary for aquatic organism passage. This structure results in a headwater depth of 4.5 feet at 4% AEP and 5.8 feet at 1% AEP. B. Option-B: An open bottom pipe arch with a minimum clear span of 14 feet and clear height of 7.25 feet, providing a waterway area of 80 square feet. E-Stone, Type II, may be needed to be used to build the channel through this structure. The bottom of abutment footings should be at least 6 feet below the channel bottom, or to ledge, to prevent undermining. This structure results in a headwater depth of 4.3 feet at 4% AEP and 5.9 feet at 1% AEP. Project-1 FEMA-739759 Ward Road Bridge The scope of work has been separated into five projects. Project-1 Culvert #4 Mountain Brook-Ridge Rd. Project-2 Box Culvert #6 Barnes Brook-Town Hall Rd. Project-3 Box Culvert #15 Sheldon Brook-N. Kirby Rd. Project-4 Brook Rd. Project-5 Ridge Rd.
