The government file appears to be a non-functional PDF (EasementPlans_.pdf) with a 404 error, but the associated state and local contract opportunity document reveals a culvert replacement project for the Town of Killington in Rutland County, Vermont. The project involves replacing three culverts located on Trailview Drive (culvert #112-06), Great Trail Road (culvert #88-01), and Trailside Drive (culvert #86-06), with a comprehensive scope including temporary stream flow diversion, existing culvert removal, pipe installation, headwall and wingwall construction, and guardrail installation. The project has strict timeline requirements, with stream work mandated by October 1, 2026, substantial completion by October 15, 2026, and final construction to be completed by November 1, 2026. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 30, 2025, at 9:30 a.m., and sealed bids are due by 2:00 p.m. on August 6, 2025, to be submitted to the Town Manager's Office.

The project is federally funded and requires Bid, Payment, and Performance bonding, with bids to be submitted on a lump sum basis. The Town of Killington actively encourages participation from woman-owned, minority-owned, and low-income businesses, demonstrating a commitment to diverse vendor inclusion. Electronic bid documents are available from Enman Kesselring Consulting Engineers, and bidders are permitted to inspect project sites prior to bid submission. The Town reserves substantial discretion in the bidding process, including the right to reject any or all bids, waive informalities, accept non-lowest bids, call for rebids, and negotiate with bidders. While specific budget ranges were not disclosed, the federal funding and infrastructure complexity suggest a significant project investment. Bidders must direct all questions to Enman Kesselring Consulting Engineers by July 31, 2025, and submit proposals either in person or by mail to Abbie Sherman, Director of Public Works.
