Site work for a golf course in Berlin, Connecticut. Completed plans call for site work for a golf course.

All inquiries shall be submitted regarding this RFP via the Town's e-Procurement Portal, located at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/berlinct. This project involves the renovation of sand bunkers on all eighteen holes. There will be a total of fifty-one (51) sand bunkers rebuilt or new. Thirty (30) of the 51 are greenside sand bunkers. Ten sand bunkers will be eliminated and one sand bunker will be made into two as well as two sand bunkers on one hole will be made into one. Most sand bunkers are being restored at their present locations. Some sand bunkers are being shifted and/or enlarged and will require the Hunter I-80 heads to be re-used and adjusted. Some sand bunkers will need fill hauled and placed as they are being made smaller in size. Additional drainage is indicated on certain holes (example #8 & #11). There is an add/alternate for additional drainage and fairway sod at the discretion of Timberlin GC and will be authorized only in writing if deemed necessary. The Town, founded in 1785, covers an area of 27.0 square miles, and is located in the geographic center of the state in Hartford County. Berlin is eleven miles south of the City of Hartford and is bordered by New Britain, Newington, Rocky Hill, Cromwell, Middletown, Meriden and Southington. Berlin's population is approximately 20,000. The Town provides a full range of municipal services including public safety, parks and recreation, public works, health and human services, and water control, with a Grand List of approximately $2.1 Billion and an operating budget of approximately $80 Million. The work under this Item consists of the Contractor installing and maintaining silt fence around necessary construction areas as directed in the field by the G.C.A. The work also includes the removal of the silt fence by the Contractor after the construction areas are stabilized. Please note that the G.C.A. might direct the Contractor to install some additional silt fence not for its purpose of stopping erosion runoff but to fence out an area from golfers. The work under this Item consists of the contractor and his shaper rebuilding the majority of the sand bunkers and removing some. The work for rebuilding the sand bunkers includes: removing old bunker sand and stockpiling it at a designated location, removing existing sod around bunker, removing and disposing of the bunker blankets if they are there, the rebuilding of the bunkers at their present locations except in a few cases (hole #16 for example), including placing both 6" "venting" catch basins outside of the bunker, installing capillary concrete base, spreading required topsoil around bunker if necessary, hauling and placing sand in bunker (see item 500.1), and spreading and vibratory tamping sand in bunker, and supplying and placing sod around the bunkers (see item 300). Please note most existing drainage basins outside of each sand bunker are working and many of the newly rebuilt bunkers will tie into them. Some will terminate into proposed gravel sumps. Some sand bunkers will be enlarged or shifted and the Hunter I-80 heads will need to be re-used and replaced(Item 700). The Golf Contractor shall strip and/or haul away the turf from areas before the Shaper starts his work, the Golf Contractor shall prepare the ground surface, apply fertilizers and any necessary additives to all areas (around sand bunkers) being sodded, and lay sod and rolling it as indicated and directed in the field by the G.C.A. and/or the G.C.S. The work under this Item consists of the Contractor re-using existing sprinkler heads (I-20 Hunters) around sand bunkers. The Contractor shall provide all labor and technical supervision to install and fully test additions and modifications to the existing golf course automatic irrigation system to the complete approval and satisfaction of the Golf Architect and the Superintendent. All work shall be of the highest quality and workmanship. The Contractor shall guaranty his work for a period of one (1) year, and shall repair any damage caused to the new installations and/or connections to the original irrigation system when the system is started up the following spring. The Contractor shall supply a "GPS-As Built" of the renovation.
