This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Accomac, Virginia. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

Summary/ Background: As of January 2025, the County's Storm Drainage Program implemented a policy of using contractors "exclusively" for cleaning and maintaining the stormwater drainage ditches. These ditches are located throughout the 400 square miles of Accomack County. Keeping them open and functional plays an important role in road safety and protects properties from flooding. Some projects will require a "snag & drag" approach to remove fallen trees and naturally occurring dams that restrict water flow. Other projects will require excavating leaf litter, debris and sedimentation to restore the original parameters of the ditch. Scope of Work: The successful contractor will clean and clear the drainage ditch back to its original parameters only. No wider or deeper. This project includes excavation of leaf litter, limbs, trash and debris only. No soil is to be excavated. Small overhanging limbs may be trimmed if necessary to complete the project. All material excavated will be loaded and hauled to the north landfill. The project begins at the north west corner of the Walmart parking lot and State Route 609 Redwood Road and continues along the northern edge of the Walmart parking lot to a culvert under the entrance of the store for a total distance of approximately 537 feet. Both the beginning and end of the project will be designated by flags. Any tracks or "scars" left in the open mowed areas will have to be back filled with clean fill dirt and smoothed out. Bids exceeding $50,000 must be accompanied by a bid bond in the amount of 5% of the total bid price. If the successful bidder is awarded the contract in excess of $50,000, a contract shall be signed and a performance and payment bond furnished to the County of Accomack in the amount equal to 100% of the contract. Work shall be completed within 30 days of issue of Purchase Order/ Notice to Proceed.
