Cheshire Rail Trail Bridge Project

The City of Keene is soliciting qualified contractors to submit price proposals for the rehabilitation of the Cheshire Rail Trail pedestrian bridge over the Ashuelot River. The scope includes demolition of deteriorated timber elements, installation of new wood decking, hand railings, site restoration, trail approach gravel, silt fence, and planting of arborvitae. Bidders must submit a lump‑sum bid electronically or in person by the deadline, attend an optional pre‑bid Zoom meeting, and provide required certifications, references, and a performance bond. The contract requires completion within 60 calendar days, with liquidated damages of $250 per day for delays.
