Contract Attachments:
USDA Contract Provisions & PA DEP Contract Provisions
Federal USDA Emergency Watershed Protection Program and state DEP grants fund this project. Therefore, the selected contractor will be subject to any provisions in those agreements that apply to sub-contractors to the overall grant contracts between the Conservation District, USDA NRCS, and PA DEP.
Clarifications & Addenda:
- The quote for the Stacked Rock Wall at 156 North Main Street Site #1 should include two options: the original design for an 8-foot high wall above the streambed and an alternative amount for a 6-foot high wall above the streambed. The wall height decision is pending permitting issues.
- The Gravel Shoal Removal is removed from the Site #2 project scope. This change is to avoid impacts to the plastic water main and sewer line under the streambed. These utilities must be protected from damage during the implementation of the streambank restoration work.
- Use of the Back Mountain Trail for stream access work on Site #2 will require the contractor to restore the trail base condition to equal or better than pre-construction conditions meeting the above TSA specifications in any portions that need significant restoration.
- Prevailing Wage Rates are posted above.
- The fence type on the stacked stone wall sections for both Site #1 and Site #2 will be a 4-foot height, vinyl coated chain link fence with one top horizontal rail and a bottom wire. Follow fence specifications shown for Site #1.
IMPORTANT! Contractors interested in providing a proposal on the project must attend a required pre-quote examination of the sites to become fully informed regarding all existing conditions and limitations.
The mandatory site showing will start at 211 N. Main Street at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, December 11, 2024.
