The general description of the Scope of Work (SOW) for the project is to provide the Municipality with Concrete Sidewalk and Roadway Replacements for direct replacement of sidewalk and roadways within the Municipality that have been identified as needing replacement by the given municipality. This work shall consist of constructing portland cement concrete sidewalk and roadway on a prepared base and subbase as shown on the plans or as directed. The prepared base shall be defined as the subgrade of the proposed sidewalk and roadway section to be constructed. The prepared base shall utilize on site excavated materials, excluding peat, muck, marl, blue or grey clay or other organic materials, or as otherwise specified. Backfilling and final restoration will be part of constructing sidewalk and roadways, unless otherwise provided.
This includes seed, topsoil and straw restoration. The selected contractor shall be responsible for removing and disposing existing sidewalk and roadway/street sections. Sidewalk replaced due to tree root upheaval will require the roots to be ground down 6” below the base of the walks. The sidewalk depth is to be 4” except the sidewalk crossing the driveways and areas within 3-feet of the roadway at the crosswalks are to be 6” deep. The street replacement concrete will be 8” deep.
The contractor will be required to complete one excavation in the right-of-way permit obtained from the DPW, as well as a zoning permit obtained from the Building Department, at no cost. If not already registered as a contractor, you will be required to submit the proper paperwork and fee. Before obtaining the permit(s) the contractor must also submit to the Municipality the required insurance documents. Each sidewalk and roadway form will require a pre-pour inspection by either the Building Official or Department of Public Service.
