Edgewood Park Pedestrian Mid-Bridge Replacement

The Edgewood Park Pedestrian Mid-Bridge Replacement project involves the construction of a new pedestrian bridge over the West River within Edgewood Park, focusing on replacing the existing structure with a durable design utilizing pre-cast and cast-in-place composite abutments. The project includes the installation of a tidal river cofferdam to facilitate the demolition of the pedestrian center pier in the river, along with the repointing of masonry wing walls and reconstruction of the outfall. The scope encompasses the complete demolition and reconstruction of the bridge, ensuring improved safety and functionality for park users. The contract, posted by the City of New Haven, is set at a value of approximately $3,000, with a response deadline of February 12, 2025, and is managed under NAICS code 238910, which pertains to site preparation contractors. Key procedural requirements include compliance with new fees for EEOC package submissions, mandated by the City of New Haven’s Commission on Equal Opportunities, which became effective July 1, 2024. These fees are non-refundable and vary based on contract size, with detailed payment instructions provided. Additionally, contractors must adhere to the fines and penalties outlined by the Board of Alders for violations related to permits, reporting, and participation goals, which serve as oversight mechanisms to ensure compliance throughout the project duration. The project’s primary point of contact is Zach Shapiro, reachable via email and phone, and further project details can be accessed through the city’s procurement portal.
