Veteran's Memorial Pedestrian Boardwalk and Walk Bridge Repair

The Town of Berlin, CT is seeking qualified contractors to perform pedestrian boardwalk and walk bridge repairs and related work at the Veteran's Memorial Park. The selected contractor will be responsible for the removal and disposal of the existing decking, bumpers, and stringers on the ramp and bridge, and the siding along the ramp and any related construction tasks. The project aims to enhance the quality and service life of the path and maintain aesthetic appeal while ensuring compliance with all relevant municipal codes and standards. The contractor must demonstrate experience in similar projects while maintaining safety and efficiency throughout the process.

Background
