Town of Tiverton RI - Pocasset Hill Cemetery Paving

The Town of Tiverton, Rhode Island is seeking qualified contractors to pave a section of the Pocasset Hill Cemetery located at 683 Main Road within Newport County. The project aims to improve cemetery accessibility, aesthetics, and functionality while maintaining the space's dignity. Contractors must submit detailed proposals including a comprehensive project plan, cost breakdown, company background, qualifications, relevant experience, references, and past project examples. An informational meeting and site walkthrough is scheduled for October 01, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with bid submissions due by 2:00 PM on October 08, 2025, to the Town Clerk's office. The scope of work encompasses site preparation, asphalt paving installation, edge finishing, landscaping, and final site cleanup, with project completion expected by November 2025. The town will evaluate proposals based on comprehensive suitability, technical competence, and alignment with project objectives. Contractors must comply with local, state, and federal laws, including ADA requirements and historic preservation guidelines, and will be responsible for obtaining all necessary permits and inspections.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. The cemetery paving project covers approximately two cemetery sections, as detailed in the Cemetery Section Map and Diagram PDFs, with specific sections near the Cremation Section and Veterans Circle. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project requires precise integration with existing cemetery infrastructure, including matching pavement elevations and maintaining the site's overall aesthetic and functional integrity. The town reserves the right to reject any proposals and will award the contract to the most qualified and responsive bidder that represents the municipality's best interests. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated in the documents, the project's comprehensive requirements suggest a moderate-scale municipal infrastructure improvement project. Interested contractors should carefully review the detailed specifications in the "Pocasset Hill Cemetery Paving - Specs.pdf" and prepare comprehensive proposals that demonstrate technical expertise in cemetery infrastructure renovation.
