Town of Bristol, Vermont

The Town of Bristol seeks proposals to restore the front entry steps and landing for the Lawrence Memorial Library building. Additionally, the proposal should address whether the remaining elements of the porch and stairs – stringers, railings, and columns – should be repaired or replaced. We welcome your professional judgment on the best approach for finishing the porch and stairs.

The Lawrence Memorial Library, located at 40 North St, Bristol, VT 05443, is a classical revival style building, constructed in 1911. The building is a single-story wood-frame structure with a hipped, clear-span roof of slate shingles, wood clapboard exterior, and stone foundation. It has a fully occupied basement and modern rear addition, which includes vertical circulation components of stairs and a lift.

The Town of Bristol seeks proposals from qualified engineering firms to conduct a scoping study for the Mountain Street drainage system. The objective is to evaluate engineering, environmental, feasibility, and/or benefit-cost analyses to identify and assess solutions that will prevent future flooding, disruptions, and property damage in the project area.

This section of Mountain Street, located near the elementary school and Spring Street, has experienced increased stormwater runoff due to more frequent and intense weather events. The existing 2-foot inlet has been consistently overwhelmed, causing water to flow down Mountain and Spring Streets, resulting in property damage and infrastructure impacts.

The selected firm will collaborate with the Town Administrator and Public Works Foreman throughout the study. The scoping process should consider all potential risks and solutions.
