Site work for a development in Franklin, Vermont. Completed plans call for site work for a development.

Franklin County Natural Resources Conservation District is requesting bids from qualified contractors for the restoration of a floodplain on Westcott Brook in Franklin, Vermont. To request the construction drawings prepared by Fitzgerald Environmental Associates, contact Evan Fitzgerald. Further details can be found in the bid attachments. There is a mandatory pre-bid site visit scheduled; more information about the site work will be provided during this walk-through. Summary of Work: The project consists of the reconnection of existing floodplain through selective berm removal and strategic wood addition. The project is located on a parcel owned by Jim Mullen, and the work area is focused on a section of Westcott Brook that includes an in-line pond. A berm follows the left bank of the brook for approximately 150 feet, and there is a berm on the inside bend of the stream as it flows through the pond. The project will reconnect floodplain by removing portions of the berm while preserving existing trees and minimizing disturbance to adjacent wetlands. The work includes two flood chutes through the berm on the left bank, avoiding mature trees, and full removal of the berm adjacent to the pond. Approximately 125 CY of cut material is expected, which will be wasted in a predetermined location on site. The project also includes strategic wood additions which will be installed using ogs imported to the site by the contractor. Questions due : June 19, 2026 Following the pre-bid meeting, questions about the scope of work should be emailed to Mel Auffredou at info@franklincmntynrcdorg and Evan Fitzgerald at evaii@feavt.com.
