Water Works: New Concrete Walkway Installation

Manchester Water Works contracted the construction of new reinforced‑concrete walkways at the Lake Massabesic Water Treatment Plant training‑center entrance. The work includes site preparation, a 6‑inch crushed‑gravel base, and installation of roughly 720 sq ft of 4,000 psi concrete in two fixed‑width sections (8 ft and 5 ft). The project is a small, low‑bid, lump‑sum solicitation with a tight schedule – bids were due March 10 2026 and the walkways must be completed by April 17 2026. Four contractors each received a portion of the total $89,435 award. Key compliance items include insurance certificates, OSHA safety training, non‑collusion certification, and provision of SDS for any hazardous materials. • Scope: excavation, base preparation, concrete placement, and reseeding of the disturbed area. • Schedule: award (mid‑March 2026) → completion by 17 April 2026 (≈ 5 weeks). • Procurement: sealed‑bid, full and open competition; lump‑sum pricing; multiple award.
