E CITY OF MALDEN invites sealed bids for improvements to Roosevelt Park adjacent to the Salemwood School located at 529 Salem Street.
In general, the proposed improvements will consist of the implementation of Release Abatement Measures (RAM) activities associated with a Historic Fill condition that has been identified in the park, and, more specifically, the area where lead was identified in soil within 12 inches from the existing surface grade at concentrations that represented a potential for an Imminent Hazard condition (currently enclosed with fencing). The RAM activities will include the removal of 1.5 feet of existing soil and replacement with suitable material, and surface restoration of the infield and grass areas disturbed by the RAM activities. Other improvements will include restoration of the infield playing surface in the northwest infield area; slice seeding or replacing all grass surfaces within the play field with sod; installation of new full-coverage irrigation system; removal of vegetation, trash and debris within the outdoor classroom area; installation of erosion and sedimentation control measures during construction; temporary construction fencing during the construction and the turf establishment period; and related appurtenant and incidental work, all as shown on the Contract Drawings and as specified in the Contract Documents.
