Project Background

Craig Brook National Fish Hatchery, located in East Orland, Maine in Hancock County. The hatchery is owned and maintained by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (Service). The Service is requesting bids per the statement of work to improve two dirt roads, Craig Pond Road and Don Fish Trail and two parking areas associated with Craig Pond

Road (handicap parking and public parking area). See attached Location Map and photos.

1. Craig Pond Road, from Hatchery Road to termination at the Craig Pond Boat Ramp, approximately 4,000’ long and 12’ wide on average and has 3 culverts (Base Bid Item 1)

2. Craig Pond Handicap Parking Area, approximately 2,000 square feet (Base Bid Item 2)

3. Don Fish Trail from the start of the dirt road at the white house (1 Don Fish Trail) to the Service’s property boundary, approximately 1,320’ and 12’ wide on average (Additive Bid Item 1)

4. Craig Pond Visitor Parking Area, approximately 21,000 square feet (Additive Bid Item 2)

5. Culvert Replacement, Craig Pond Road (As Needed)

6. Culvert Addition, Craig Pond Road (As Needed)

*Actual distances and areas must be field verified by the bidder.

Project Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this project is to restore the roadway surface to a more serviceable level, improve drainage, and reduce future maintenance costs. We will consider installing additional culverts (up to 2 culverts) to improve drainage and reduce future maintenance costs.

The proposed project will include the following scope:

1. Craig Pond Road (Base Bid Item 1)

1. Rehabilitate existing road, including:

1. Grade, shape, and compact aggregate base

2. Adding 6” inches of compacted road surface material (1 ½” minus with 7- 12% fines)

3. Grade, shape, (3” crown or 6” tilt) and compact surface material

4. Clean and cut ditches

5. Clean existing three (3) culverts

2. Craig Pond Handicap Parking (Base Bid Item 2)

1. Rehabilitate existing Handicap parking area, including:

1. Grade, shape, and compact aggregate base

2. Adding 6” inches of road surface material (1 ½” minus with 7- 12% fines)

3. Crowning or tilting to provide proper drainage

3. Don Fish Trail (Additive Bid Item 1)

1. Rehabilitate existing road, including:

1. Grade, shape, and compact aggregate base

2. Adding 6” inches of compacted road surface material (1 ½” minus)

3. Grade, shape, (crown or tilt) and compact surface material

4. Clean and cut ditches

4. Craig Pond Visitor Parking Area (Additive Bid Item 2)

1. Place aggregate base as needed to achieve a depth of 12” to 18”.

2. Grade shape, and compact aggregate base

3. Adding 6” inches of compacted road surface material (1 ½” minus with 7- 12% fines)

4. Grade, shape, (3” crown or 6” tilt) and compact surface material

5. Craig Pond Culvert Replacement (As Needed)

1. Replace up to three (3) culverts (18” x 20’ each)

6. Craig Pond New Culvert (As Needed)

1. Add up to two (2) new culverts (18” x 20’ each)

Issues and concerns

Both roads have little surface material on them that will allow them to be properly graded. In some areas, the road base has eroded. Both roads show signs of severe longitudinal erosion, potholes and poor drainage as depicted in the photos below.

Craig Pond Road ditching has filled in and no longer provide adequate drainage. In addition, the culverts are plugged by debris. It may be necessary to replace or add new culverts.

The parking areas have little surface material that will allow them to be properly graded and drainage is poor.

Road traffic will need to be maintained during the work. Accommodations for parking will also be needed.

Hatchery water supply line is buried under a section of Craig Pond Road.

Material Specifications

Road surface material needs to pack well, be durable, and shed water. Use gravel that is well-graded with most of the gravel smaller than 1/2” in size, has a maximum particle size of 1 1/2 inches and has 7-12% fines (silt-clay particles), so it packs well and sheds water. The surface layer should be a minimum of 6 inches thick when compacted.

Culverts shall be a minimum of 18 inches in diameter, length sized accordingly, corrugated plastic (HDPE) pipe culvert that is load bearing. Culverts shall be laid on ditch grade and on a 3-5% slope.

Additional Considerations

1. Project shall be completed by August 31, 2022.

2. Contractor shall provide services including but not limited to:

1. Supply all labor, equipment, materials, and supplies as required in the provided statement of work.

2. Prevent and minimize pollution by use of sediment fencing as needed

3. Follow Maine DEP Guidelines on site cleanup and spill prevention and reporting

4. Follow Davis-Bacon Act of prevailing wages

3. Onsite disposal of excess road base or surface material with prior permission. Location to be determined.

4. Materials and equipment storage may be provided on-site with prior permission. Location to be determined.
