The Town of Vernon is undertaking an evaluation of rehabilitation options for a large-diameter culvert located along Fish and Game Road, a low-traffic roadway situated within the environmentally sensitive Belding Conservation Area, managed by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP). The existing culvert has been in service for many years and exhibits signs of deterioration, requiring replacement or rehabilitation to restore proper hydraulic and structural function. The purpose of this project is to assess feasible rehabilitation methods and advance a preferred alternative through preliminary design. The scope of work includes the development of engineering design documents and an opinion of probable construction cost for multiple culvert rehabilitation alternatives, such as full replacement and trenchless lining techniques. Tasks will involve reviewing existing conditions, evaluating structural integrity and hydraulic capacity, and identifying potential construction and environmental impacts. Conceptual alternatives will be compared based on feasibility, permitting requirements, environmental sensitivity, constructability, and cost. A preferred alternative will be selected in coordination with the Town and advanced to preliminary design, including plan and profile development and preliminary construction details. The Town of Vernon has provided base mapping, including information on stream channel geometry, wetland boundaries, topography, and property limits. We will evaluate the existing culvert conditions, perform hydraulic and drainage analyses, and assess replacement and rehabilitation options with consideration of cost, constructability, and permitting constraints. Special attention will be given to construction logistics, as the project site is located within a semi-remote conservation area with limited access.
