Print Bid Title: Wight Street Infrastructure Improvements Category: Public Works Status: Closed Description: INVITATION TO BID WIGHT STREET INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS CITY OF BELFAST, MAINE 1. RECEIPT OF BIDS The City of Belfast, Maine will receive sealed bids at the Belfast City Hall, 131 Church Street, Belfast, Maine 04915 until April 10, 2023, at 1:00 P.M. at which time the bids will be publicly opened and read aloud. 2. PROJECT The scope of work can generally be described as installation of a buried stormwater collection system and complete roadway reconstruction of Wight Street, an existing 2300 linear foot long roadway, along with addition of an 8 foot wide pathway along its entire length. Work under this project includes, but is not limited to, excavation and removal of about 5600 CY of existing roadway pavement and soils, installation of approximately 2500 linear feet of 18” to 36” diameter storm drain pipe, 32 catch basins, 7000 CY of road and pathway aggregates, 4000 LF of concrete curb, 1900 tons of pavement, erosion control, traffic control, signage, site restoration, and providing all equipment, labor and materials required to provide a complete project as defined in the contract documents. There is also an Alternate Bid which consists of installing 200 feet of sanitary sewer pipe and one manhole of Congress Street, along with trench paving and site restoration. The City would like to see the project started in 2023, but in recognition of lead times for materials and the busy 2023 construction schedule, the project can be started in 2023 and completed in 2024, within the contract days given. The site would need to be made ready for plowing, with all disturbed areas surfaced with binder and/or trench pavement at the end of 2023 activities. A schedule for 2024 only work is also an option the City would accept if reassured that the contractor will start work as soon as ground conditions allow and complete all work (at least to binder pavement and revegetation) in 2024. The project must be substantially completed within 240 calendar days and complete within 270 calendar days after the execution of Notice to Proceed. An additional 21 days will be added to each contract time if Alternate 1 is awarded. 3.
