Specifications include, but are not limited to: PART 1: Due to the nature of FEMA recovery funds, we must split this project into 2 sections. The flood of July 10th , 2023, deposited brush and wood chips from the upstream playground into the pond. FEMA will reimburse the removal of those mentioned items including ~2” of material from the pond’s surface. That project is limited to the section of the pond where the brush and woodchips are deposited, which is about half of the pond’s footprint, located in the “shallow half”, shown in Attachment B – Site Map. Please describe how you plan to remove said material and what damage we can expect to incur from heavy machinery being used around the pond’s edge during spring months. PART 2: In this project, we are looking to have the “deeper half” (Attachment B – Site Map) of the pond cleaned out as well. Please describe how you will scrape and remove ~2” of material from the “deeper half” of the pond. The pond has a silt collection area near the drain that needs to be cleaned out as well. PART 3: We are also looking for new clay to be added to the pond’s ground surface to replace and replenish the material removed, thus maintaining the pond’s water retention. Contractors are asked to propose type and depth of clay being proposed. Please also describe what damage we can expect to incur from heavy machinery being used around the pond’s edge during spring months.
