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

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 400sq miles of Accomack County. Keeping them open and functional plays an important role in road safety and protects property from flooding. Gum Branch & Rt. 13 - Pt. 2 drains excess water from U.S. Route 13, and the Town of New Church. The successful contractor will clear and clean the drainage ditch back to its original parameters. 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. This project is primarily a dredging operation. The existing structure provides drainage for U.S. Route 13, Mappsville and the surrounding area. The flow of water has been impeded by small trees, debris and some silt. The proposed dredging operation will start at the north end of Mappsville (see map) next to the culvert located at Rt. 13 and head west follow the contours of the existing ditch for approximately 1,165 feet. and terminate approximately 360 feet after the ditch enters the hedgerow. This stop point will be flagged. (Total length approximately 1,165 feet). Notes: The contractor will be responsible for notifying VDOT if unloading or loading will take place on or near Rt. 13. The contractor will be responsible for contacting "Miss Utility" to mark any underground wires prior to beginning work. This project is time sensitive and must be completed prior to the field being planted in this year's cash crop. 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.
