A) SCOPE OF WORK

Description of Project

The Town of Westerly is seeking bid proposals from qualified Contractors to conduct

improvements to a portion of the existing stormwater drainage system located on Beatrice

Street in Westerly. The Town conducted closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspection of the

stormwater drainage system on Beatrice Street in 2025, identifying a section of CMP that

requires replacement. An area of localized flooding occurs along the roadway in the area

of 20-22 Beatrice Street. The scope of work identified in this RFP intends to address these

issues prior to road resurfacing, which will be handled under a separate contract following

the completion of the stormwater drainage improvements. The proposed improvements

generally include removing and replacing a section of 12-inch corrugated metal pipe

(CMP), removing and replacing one catch basin, installing two new catch basin, removing

and replacing catch basin frame and grates, installing 30 additional feet of 12-inch dual-

wall high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, and asphalt patching.

Drawing C-1, included with this document, shows the following scope of work:

• Removal & replacement of an existing catch basin located adjacent to the driveway

of 10 Beatrice Street;

• Removal and replacement of approximately 278 linear feet of 12-inch CMP with

12-inch dual-wall HDPE pipe. This section of pipe spans from the catch basin

adjacent to 10 Beatrice Street to the catch basin located adjacent to 19 Beatrice

Street and on the southwestern corner of the intersection with Miner Street;

• Removal and replacement of the frame and grate for the catch basin located

adjacent to 10 Beatrice Street to the catch basin located adjacent to 19 Beatrice

Street and on the southwestern corner of the intersection with Miner Street. The

Contractor shall also repoint the interior walls of the catch basin with underground

utility mortar;

• Installation of two new catch basins adjacent to 22 Beatrice Street and 21 Beatrice

Street. The catch basin located adjacent to 21 Beatrice Street is located within the

diameter reinforced concrete pipe. The frame and grate of this catch basin will be

positioned beyond the existing asphalt limit of the road;
