Engineering Department
2016 Sewer Rehabilitation Project
To approve the award of the construction contract for the 2016 Sewer Project to Park
Construction Corporation of Fitzwilliam, NH in the amount of $1,108,975. Funding
will be through: Department: 169 Wastewater; Fund: Wastewater; Activity: Sewer
Rehab, and Department: 169 Wastewater; Fund: Wastewater; Activity: Sewer
Structures.
The annual sewer program addresses failing, aged sewers. This 2016 Sewer Project
is expected to replace or line approximately 2,360 feet of sewer mains. The contract
includes work in the following areas:
Tolles St from Whitney St to Canal St,
Kinsley St approaching Main St,
Lock St between Perham St and Chandler St and
The old residential neighborhood off of Temple St including Hoyts Ln, Scripture St,
Gorman Ave, Worcester St, Shedds Ave and Howard St.
Contract work includes replacing sewer service lateral connections as well as catch
basins and manholes prior to road restoration. Four contractors attended the
mandatory pre-bid meeting on February 24, 2016. Three bids were received on
March 10 as follows:
Park Construction Corporation of Fitzwilliam, NH $1,058,975.00
DeFelice Corporation of Dracut, MA $1,441,347.00
Cardillo & Son, Inc of Wakefield, MA $1,700,591.40
The low bid was reviewed and found to be acceptable. Park Construction
Corporation has performed satisfactorily on other sewer projects of this scale in the
city. Work is expected to begin in April and finish before the end of this year.
Several of the neighborhood streets are very narrow and many underground conflicts
are expected. Therefore, a contingency of $50,000 or approximately 5% is included
in this award to be used on an as needed basis for unforeseen circumstances.
