Specifications include, but are not limited to: • Bridge #45 – Maple Avenue Bridge. The Maple Avenue bridge is a repeat damage site in our Village. The current structure is a 31 foot long cast in place concrete bridge on a dead end road. During July flooding the approaches of the bridge were impacted as was the granite block substructure. Prior to the flood the Town had secured a Town Highway Bridge Grant from VTrans to design a replacement structure at this location. The Town Highway Bridge Grant funding is anticipated to be utilized to fund the preconstruction services for this structure. It is anticipated that the Town of Chelsea will pursue a FEMA Flood Mitigation Grant for the replacement of this structure. The VTrans Bridge Inspection Report is attached to this RFP. • TH-15 (Doyle Road) over unnamed tributary to First Branch White River. The site is referred to as Culvert #3 and is 0.2 miles North of the Washington Turnpike intersection. There are two culverts side by side at this location. Both culverts were completely dislodged and washed downstream during the flood. A contractor retrieved the existing culverts from downstream and reinstalled them as a temporary measure to restore traffic on this dead end road. It is anticipated that this location will repaired through the FEMA Public Assistance program. The August 2023 VTrans Hydraulics Memo is attached to this RFP. • TH-3, Brook Road, Cram Brook tributary to First Branch White River. The site is 0.6 miles NW of TH-33, Pent Road intersection.
