Pike River Streambank Restoration Phase III

The County of Kenosha in Wisconsin is soliciting bids for a comprehensive restoration project focused on the Pike River Streambank at Petrifying Springs Park. This initiative is designed to improve the ecological health and stability of the streambank while simultaneously augmenting recreational amenities for the local community. The contract encompasses a wide array of tasks, including mobilization, site access, dewatering, diversion, and erosion control. Additional responsibilities entail clearing, grubbing, and the removal of 99 trees. Contractors will also need to facilitate the installation of a 155-foot chain link fence and the removal and disposal of 250 cubic yards of riprap. Earthwork plays a significant role in the project, with plans for 9,400 cubic yards of excavation and the offsite disposal of 7,200 cubic yards of excess material. Further elements of the project include the placement of 4,100 cubic yards of stone toe material and creating a 435 cubic yard grade control riffle. Contractors will use 550 cubic yards of filter gravel, install 17 limestone access steps, and distribute 3,100 cubic yards of topsoil. An essential ecological component involves the removal of invasive species across 2.1 acres, complemented by the application of various seed mixes to ensure restoration. The project is further complexified by the inclusion of concrete masonry bridge foundations and steel piling requirements. The execution of this contract will begin immediately upon award and continue until project completion, with specific timelines potentially refined during pre-bid discussions. Work will be performed at Petrifying Springs Park, located at 5555 7th Street, Kenosha, WI 53144. The project budget is estimated between $500,000 and $1,500,000, and all bids must cover the full scope of labor and materials as outlined in the bid documentation.
