Water Street Flooding Improvements

This contract represents a flood‑control improvement project on Water Street (Phase 1) in Delaware. The scope includes mobilization, traffic management, erosion and sediment control, demolition of existing structures, extensive earthwork, concrete work (saw‑cutting, roto‑milling, hot‑mix), installation of reinforced‑concrete pipe and multiple manholes, and adjustments to curb ramps to meet state specifications. A‑Del Construction is the awarded prime contractor, coordinating numerous subcontractors for material supply, excavation, pipe fabrication, and concrete work. The bid tabulation lists detailed unit‑price and lump‑sum line items, with total estimated costs ranging from roughly $600 K to over $1.2 M, and includes vendor‑preference pricing for minority‑owned and local firms. Key points for prospective vendors include: • Primary work categories: civil‑engineering earthwork, storm‑water infrastructure, and concrete structures. • Large material quantities (e.g., ~2,887 CY of concrete, 1,450 LF of pipe). • Potential subcontracting opportunities across pipe supply, manhole fabrication, erosion control, and traffic management. • Agency applies minority‑owned and local‑vendor preferences, which may affect competitive evaluation.
