This project consists of, but is not limited to: The contractor shall demolish two (2) buildings in Barre City located on Vermont Route 14 (South Main Street) including the dwelling at 50 South Main Street and the detached garage. All components of the buildings shall be removed or decommissioned including foundations and utilities. The contractor shall remove both structures from the property including the foundations (with the exception of the poured concrete section of the garage foundation); driveway pavement; and all service lines (e.g., electrical, cable, telephone, water) to the residence up to the curb stop. The contractor shall grade and level with clean material to promote positive drainage away from the existing railroad track structure. The contractor shall complete the intended work in a manner that does not negatively impact the adjacent parcel or dwelling. The contractor will be held responsible for all damages to the adjacent parcel or dwelling if any occur while executing the intended work at 50 South Main Street. All damages shall be repaired or replaced by the contractor without cost to the State of Vermont and to the satisfaction of the Engineer. The contractor shall note that concrete block wall comprised of large solid concrete blocks is located behind the dwelling. It is considered independent of the structure and any removal of the dwelling and garage should have no effect on the slope behind them. However, the contractor shall note no excavation in front of the concrete block wall is allowed that could destabilize the wall as well as the global stability of the larger slope behind the dwelling and garage. The contractor shall completely remove the garage structure and its walls other than the poured concrete section. The contractor shall remove and reset the existing large concrete blocks that are adjacent to the railroad tracks in a stepped U-shape manner at the approximate foundation location of the garage to retain the soil in this area. Any remaining concrete blocks shall be used as fill within the existing garage footprint as well as additional clean, suitable material provided by the contractor. Hazardous material investigations have been completed and the findings included in the contract documents. Asbestos containing material requiring abatement have been identified and removed under a separate project. Numerous lead-bearing building components were identified and can be found in the following document: TCLP Lead Sampling report for the residential structure and garage at 50 South Main Street dated January 20, 2023. Prior to the start of construction, the contractor is required to submit a Traffic Control Plan to VTrans for review and approval to ensure traveling vehicles along Vermont Route 14 (South Main Street) do not stop within the existing at-grade crossing limits during construction. The contractor shall provide advance warning to traveling vehicles utilizing advanced warning signs, barrels and/or cones, highway flaggers, and other traffic control features. Revision Date: July 20, 2023 Page | 2 During construction the contractor is advised that all construction shall be completed in accordance with the Special Conditions for the Removal/Demolition of a Structure provided by the City of Barre Office of Planning & Permitting.
