Moore Lane Bridge Repair

As of 6/8/2022, No Bids Were Received, the Town is unsure of Rebidding in the future. The existing timber bridge deck has been treated with creosote and emulsified asphalt. With the current bridge configuration, when temperatures rise, these contaminants liquify and drip from the underside of the bridge and can end up in the Brook. Proposed improvements include installing corrugated metal roofing and flashing on the underside of the deck to contain discharge of the contaminants and to channel them to a drip pan to be located on the abutment beam seat. The project (Moore Lane Contain (1)) consists of installing Galvalume (or approved equal) steel roofing panels and flashing on the underside of a single span timber bridge deck as a containment measure. Please refer to attached plans from Stantec Consulting Engineers for details notes regarding the work. All work shall be performed in accordance with the technical requirements of the Vermont Agency of Transportation 2018 Standard Specifications for Construction. Payment for the work shall be based on the pay units and unit prices defined in the bid tabulation and the Request for Bids.
