Description of Project: The Town of Westerly (hereinafter referred to as “the Town”) is seeking bid proposals from qualified Contractors to design and construct floodproofing measures to protect the Margin Street pump station from potential 100-year flood waters related to the existing surrounding elevations and proximity to the Pawcatuck River. The introduction of flood waters into the station would cause tremendous strain on the pumps which could lead to their failure or inability to keep up with demand. Failure of the pumps would allow the well levels to rise which could cause a sanitary sewer overflow (SSO). Due to the location of the pump station, an SSO could lead to sanitary sewage flowing directly into the Pawcatuck River. The Margin Street pump station is located at 23-41 Margin Street. The property contains the sanitary sewer pump station and associated infrastructure, a vacant building previously used during former on-site marina operations, an above-ground radio tower, an asphalt-paved driveway, an unimproved gravel parking lot, and wetlands. Most of the property is located within the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) mapped 100-year Flood Plain, with the remaining eastern portion of the property located within the FEMA 500-year Flood Plain. A FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRMette) and a property survey plan dated November 2023 are provided as attachments to this document. Existing site features and the approximate extents of regulated areas are displayed on the survey plan. The scope of work under this contract requires design, permitting application preparation, submission and receipt of approval(s) through the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM) and/or the Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC); and, construction of the floodproofing measures for the following sanitary sewer pump station components shown on the image provided below: wet well, pump vault, two sanitary sewer manholes.
