The Town of Northfield received grant funding through the Vermont Outdoor Recreation Economic Collaborative Program (VOREC) to restore and improve damaged trails in Northfield and is seeking bids from qualified contractors to perform the trail restoration work in an area which is approximately several hundred feet in length. Photos of the project area are attached. The work consists of the replacement of five culverts, swale ditching and seeding, and the filling and stabilization of two washout areas at the lower end of the near the end of Slate Ave. In addition, the Town is seeking a bid for trail restoration work on a section of the trail located at the upper sections of the trail - approximately 1/4 mile from the end of Slate Ave. This section will require the installation of several culverts and drainage ditching. In addition, there is a stream crossing, a washed-out area, and several wet places in need of drainage. We are open to creative ideas from the contractor. See attached photos. The contractor shall utilize current State of Vermont Standards and Specification for Erosion and Sediment Control Measures within all site limits, disturbed areas, and the steep slopes along the nearby stream.
