RFP FY26-06 Engineering for Sawyer Hill Road Culvert

The Town of Mount Holly is seeking proposals from qualified engineering firms to prepare bidding and construction documents (overall plan and stream profile and cross section, and project specifications) and permits (ANR Rivers and Streams and Army Corp of Engineers and ANR Wetlands) for a new precast concrete box culvert to replace the existing culvert on TH-45 Sawyer Hill Road over an unnamed tributary to Branch Brook in Mount Holly, VT (approximately 0.15 miles north of VT-103). The existing structure is a deteriorated squashed corrugated metal pipe (4.5 ft clear span x 3.6 ft clear height, approximately 13 square feet of waterway opening) with a rotted bottom. It is listed in urgent condition on VTCulverts.org and overtops the roadway at the 10% AEP storm. Sawyer Hill Road is a Class 3 gravel road and is the access for approximately 33 homes. The town has a VTrans Structures Grant for the replacement. The town will prepare one RFP for purchase of replacement culvert material (town preference is Plate Arch) and one for construction.
