Who is responsible for disposal of sediment removed from the pipe.

Sediment removed form the pipe shall be decanted into a sewer manhole located at

the project area. The sediment will then be driven to a Providence DPW lot near 700

Allens Ave. where it will be emptied. Providence DPW will then reload the sediment

into one of their trucks and transport it to RIRRC for disposal. As such, disposal

costs do not need to be included in the bid price for this project.
