Paxton, MA Stormwater Pipe Infrastructure
Tata & Howard provided engineering services for the design for approximately 7,000 linear feet of stormwater pipe to replace existing pipe on West Street from Pleasant Street to Mill Street in Paxton, Massachusetts.
A qualified subconsultant was retained by Tata & Howard for a topographical and planimetric survey including 2-foot contours, existing structures and utilities, existing utility easements, limits of right of ways, and other features of the work area. Tata & Howard prepared the design plan with profile views and technical specifications for construction of the project in three separate phases, as follows:
- Approximately 2,300 linear feet of stormwater drain on West Street from Pleasant Street to Shanandoah Drive;
- Approximately 1,700 linear feet of stormwater drain from Shanandoah Drive to Holbrook Lane; and
- Approximately 3,000 linear feet of stormwater drain from Holbrook Lane to Mill Street.
Three separate bid documents were prepared to bid the project in the three separate phases.
The proposed stormwater drain pipe and mitigation measures were incorporated into the Notice of Intent that was completed for the concurrent water main replacement on West Street. The proposed stormwater drain pipe was incorporated into the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) permit for work within the state highway layout that was completed concurrently for the water main replacement on West Street.
Tata & Howard prepared and submitted an estimate of probable construction cost for the stormwater drain pipe at the 75% and final stage of completion to assist the Owner in obtaining Town funding.
