CITY OF EAST PROVIDENCE
CAROUSEL STABILIZATION PROJECT
ADVERTISEMENT
RFP EP20/21-17
BID OPENING FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 2021 AT 11AM
The City of East Providence is soliciting proposals from companies that specialize in foundations and more specifically foundation stabilization. During a recent renovation the floor deck was removed which resulted in excessive movement of the main mast. That and the fact that the carousel is approximately 125 years old, the foundation requires stabilization. The carousel sits on a sandy soil with existing concrete piers located below each mudsill. There are four mudsills which support the main mast which in turn supports the entire ride. The stabilization plans have been designed by Geisser Engineering and Carousels and Carvings, Inc. A test pier support has been installed and the information is included herein. Specifications may be downloaded from the City’s website https://eastprovidenceri.gov/rfp
