Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Town of Springfield, VT is requesting proposals for production of a scoping study to identify alternatives, issues and costs and provide recommendations related to construction of a salt shed facility on Fairground Road, funded in part by the Federal Highway Administration and the Town of Springfield, through the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) Municipal Assistance Section (MAS). The Town of Springfield’s existing salt shed has been structurally deteriorating for years. The Town uses about 5,000 yards of sand and about 500 tons of salt to treat roads each year. The existing structure is about 50-52 feet wide and 76-80 feet long. The back is enclosed and the front open. The structure has 12-foot-high concrete walls and a galvanized steel and fabric superstructure. Most structural components of the salt shed are in varying degrees of deterioration. This project will involve preparing a Scoping Study to determine the most effective means to replace the existing storage structure.
