BID Specs: Fire Station, 42 Leverett Road, Parking Lot Paving project.

Blacktop entire driveway/parking area of Fire Station, to include all four sides. See attached sketch. The area to be covered is approximately 16,800 +/- square feet. The bidder is responsible for measuring the area and making calculations of required materials before bidding.

A base coat of at least 1 1/2'” thickness shall be applied and rolled, with a top coat of at least 1 ½” applied and rolled, or as recommended by the bidder/contractor. The base coat shall be rolled and allowed to set overnight before top coat is applied thus requiring the project to be performed over a two day period.

There are 5 large apparatus bay doors and two man doors on the building in the paved areas. The finished grade of the applied pavement must be at least 1 inch but shall not exceed 2’’ below the level of the cement floor at the apparatus bay door openings.

There are five (5) ground water test wells that are located within the paved area that shall be maintained.

All existing old blacktop material will be removed and hauled away by the Town Highway Department. Final grading and preparation will also be done by the Town Highway Department prior to new paving being started. Confirmation of grade (especially at apparatus bay doors) is the responsibility of the contractor being awarded the bid and should be performed before any paving is started.

All work performed, either by the Town or the contractor, shall comply with the Conservation Commission’s Order of Conditions titled Attachment ‘A’ “DOA Special Conditions 07.08.2021”
