128-158 - Project Manual.pdf

This Project Manual is associated with the Curtiss Park Connection Multi-Use Trail project in Connecticut, a collaborative effort involving state and local agencies for infrastructure development. The project encompasses the construction of approximately 3,000 linear feet of bituminous concrete multi-use trail along the north side of Tariffville Road, extending over an existing sidewalk on the Tariffville Road bridge that crosses the Farmington River, and terminating at Curtiss/Pattison Parks. The scope includes a boardwalk section constructed within and adjacent to wetlands in the Farmington River riparian corridor. The manual serves as the comprehensive construction document providing technical specifications, design standards, and implementation requirements for qualified bidders. Time is noted as being of the essence for project completion.

The Project Manual contains detailed technical specifications, construction standards, site conditions, environmental considerations related to wetland construction, and contractual requirements necessary for bidders to prepare accurate proposals. The document establishes the baseline requirements for trail construction materials, boardwalk specifications, and compliance with applicable environmental regulations governing work within riparian corridors and wetland areas. Funding sources and specific pricing structures are to be determined through the bidding process, with contractors expected to provide comprehensive cost proposals based on the specifications and site conditions outlined in the manual.
