DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS

Sealed bids will be received by the Department of Public Works of the Town of Southborough for the Lynbrook Road Water Main Rehabilitation Project. The project includes the installation of approximately 1,950 linear feet of cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) structural lining inside the existing 12-inch asbestos cement (AC) piping that runs from the intersection of Lovers Lane and Lynbrook Road, extends southwest to the cul-de-sac at the end of Lynbrook Road, then extends north through the existing 20-foot-wide easement on the western portion of the properties located at 49 Lynbrook Road and 164 Main Street, then terminates at Main Street (Route 30). There are four stream crossings located within the existing routing of this water main, and one culvert located on Lynbrook Road, and the other three are located within the easement on the western portions of 49 Lynbrook Road and 164 Main Street. All necessary service connections, appurtenances, and site restoration work will be done in accordance with the attached plans and specifications.

Depending on the awarded contract value and what the Town of Southborough has budgeted for this project, the scope of work could expand through open-cut installation of 12-inch ductile iron water main heading south down Lovers Lane beginning at the existing 12-inch gate valve near CIPP structural lining pit No. 6.
