Hedge Street Phase IV Roadway Improvement Project

The Hedge Street Phase IV Roadway Improvement Project in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, involves approximately 765 feet of reconstruction along Hedge Street extending from Adams Street westward toward Main Street. The scope of work includes installing sewer, water, and drainage improvements, constructing concrete sidewalks, precast concrete curbs, and performing roadway pavement reclamation, grading, and paving. The project is estimated to cost around $700,000 and is soliciting bids with a deadline of July 11, 2025. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price agreement, requiring the successful bidder to provide a 100% performance and payment bond and to execute the contract within five days of bid acceptance. The procurement is managed by the Town of Fairhaven’s Department of Public Works under the Massachusetts agency framework. The project emphasizes compliance with federal and state labor laws, including adherence to minimum wage rates under Massachusetts law or the Davis-Bacon federal wage rates, whichever are higher. It also mandates adherence to civil rights and equal employment opportunity regulations, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and related statutes. The owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive informalities, and omit items deemed in the best interest of the project. The solicitation was issued on June 1, 2025, with the response deadline set for July 11, 2025, and the project aims to enhance infrastructure and roadway conditions along Hedge Street through comprehensive reconstruction and utility improvements.
