Westerly. The scope of proposed utility improvements identified herein will be conducted
prior to asphalt milling and overlaying (by others) of Narragansett Avenue, Haswell Street,
Bellevue Avenue, and Top Street.
During the summer of 2022, the Town contracted National Water Main Cleaning
Company to conduct closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspections of the drainage network
located on Narragansett Avenue and the streets that contain stormwater drainage
infrastructure that drain to Narragansett Avenue. The inspection videos and
corresponding mapping are available for review using the Microsoft OneDrive file access
websites provided in the corresponding appendices.
Included within this RFP are photos that show the anticipated limits of disturbance for
reach of the proposed stormwater drainage improvements, aerial sketches that show the
locations of the stormwater drainage and routing of the stormwater drainage piping, and
photos of the sanitary sewer manholes.
The proposed scope of work is broken down into a base bid that includes improvements
to stormwater drainage structures/piping, sanitary sewer manholes, and sidewalks. An
additional alternative is included for other stormwater structure improvements. The
proposed scope of work for each structure and pipe is provided below.
