Conservation Commission seeks estimates for Great Pond boardwalk work

The Conservation Commission would like to upgrade an existing boardwalk and bridge system located on Great Pond, and is seeking estimates for construction.
The project would include approximately 300 feet of boardwalk over wetland, 400 feet of boardwalk over marginal land and 106 feet of bridge over Alewife Brook. Construction over Alewife Brook must include provision to hold the bridge in place against the current.

Access to the site will be over approximately 1,600 feet of woods trail, at least 8 feet wide. Any permitting needed will be obtained by the owner.

The Commission would like an estimate for each of the following options:

Option 1: Construction of a boardwalk system elevated on metal posts for the entire length of the project. The deck frame would be aluminum and 4 feet wide. Decking should be priced out for both a composite or preserved wood decking.

Option 2: Also construction of a boardwalk system elevated on metal posts for the entire length of the project. The deck frame and decking, however, would be of preserved wood construction.

Conservation Commission representatives will be meeting on Monday, July 21, 2008 beginning at 10 a.m. at the Kettle Cove Take-out and Dairy located at 2 Bowery Beach Rd to conduct a site inspection for interested parties.

Estimates should be sent by mail or email to the following no later than August 1, 2008 to:
