attenuate the flooding and provide relief to these property owners and the piping network in Phase
2 will conduct the stormwater past the properties that are currently affected.

Bidder Questions and Clarifications
Aaron J. Conner General Contractor questions for Clarification on the College Street Drainage
Improvements Phase 2 Project.
1. Along the easement there are several locations that call for existing culverts to be removed
(such as sheet C4.1 near the temporary access between 940 and 950 College). Just to
verify, the contractor is only removing and not replacing these pipes?
Response – This is correct. The only location that a pipe is replaced is at 840 College St.
on sheet C4.2. Otherwise, the contractor shall remove the pipes and they are not replaced.
The contractor shall backfill after the new storm sewer is installed, grade to final plan
elevations, and repave. Other locations where the driveway is higher than the ground on
either side the ground is to be graded to the inlets on each side of that parcel.
2. On Sheet C4.1 near STMH-5 there is a note for the contractor to remove the wood pile
and concrete slab and to coordinate with the resident prior to removal. Is the contractor
removing off site and getting rid of the wood and slab or relocating where the property
owner directs?
Response – The wood pile may already be gone before contractor mobilizes to this
location, but if not, the contractor shall move the wood pile to a site directed by the owner
or dispose of it. The contractor is then to dispose of the concrete slab off site. There is
no provision to replace the concrete slab.
3. Between STMH 2 and STMH 3 Bid form Item 470 is removing the Grinder Pump station.
Will this be turnkey where the contractor will need to supply an electrician or will the
electrical be carried out through the town?
Response – The contractor will need to coordinate with the owner and provide all means
and permitting to deenergize the grinder pump before removal. The contractor shall
completely remove the electrical cabling or safely terminate it in accordance with the
electric permit.
4. On sheet C4.3 near STMH 15 and also near STMH -19 there are notes which fall into Bid
Form Item 310 stating the contractor is to field verify the presence and location of the
spring and then install a standard SB-1 spring Box. Can you please clarify how you want
the contractor to verify that there is a spring and to locate where the spring box will be set.
Response – As the contractor is excavating for the nearby manhole structure it should be
noted if any spring type flow is encountered and at what depth. If flow is found the
contractor is to install the spring box at that location and elevation without it interfering
with the installing of the new storm sewer. Additional excavation may be required to locate
the spring box outside the footprint of the new storm sewer. Contact engineer if there are
any questions about this during excavation at these locations.

Jamison Precast submitted the following question.
5. I am working on quoting the precast structures. I do not find all the structures listed on
the bid form on the plans. Does the bid form need to be changed?

manhole and one 5 ft square concrete manhole. The correct count is zero 4 ft square and
two 5 ft square manholes. The count on the remainder of the manhole structures are
