The project is partially funded through the Municipal Road and Bridge Revolving Fund (MRBRF) and will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. Bidders must submit a 5% bid security and comply with prevailing wage rates and state and federal requirements, including obtaining environmental permits from the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM) and the Coastal Resource Management Council (CRMC).
