Stormwater Ditch Cleaning - Red Hill Road Debris Removal

Summary/ Background: As of January 2025, the County’s Storm Drainage Program implemented a policy of using contractors “exclusively” for cleaning and maintaining the stormwater drainage ditches. These ditches are located throughout the 400sq miles of Accomack County. Keeping these ditches open and functional plays an important role in road safety and protects property from flooding. Red Hill Rd.- Debris Removal is a continuation of a previous project to remove the excavated debris.

Scope of Work: Red Hill Rd. - Debris Removal The successful contractor will clear and remove all of the debris (soil, trash and trees) that were previously dug and left on the ditch bank(s) during a recent excavation of the stormwater drainage ditch. Any large debris or trash that have fallen into the ditch will need to be removed as well. All debris are to be loaded and hauled away. The project will begin at Red Hill Rd. and terminate at the point that the ditch enters a wooded area and there is no viable access to load or haul it. The County will at the contractor’s request, have the tipping fees waived at the North Landfill located at 9400 Cutler Lane Atlantic, VA 23303.

Notes: All excavated trees, trash & debris will be loaded and hauled off site to the North Landfill. This is the County approved and authorized location. If a contractor chooses any other site or location for debris disposal, they are solely responsible for the lawful disposal of it.

The selected contractor shall give the storm drainage program coordinator 24 hours’ written notice before beginning work. All work shall be done in accordance with the specifications set out herein. Any deviation from the specifications must be pre-approved by the storm drainage program coordinator. All work shall be performed on week days, Monday – Friday.

A non-mandatory pre-bid project site visit will be scheduled upon request. No site visits will be scheduled on the same day that the quotes are due. Please contact Bill Savage @ 757-787-1468 or wsavage@accomck.gov to schedule the site visit. It is highly recommended that contractors bring hip boots, bug spray and drinking water to the site visit. Please note: Potential contractors are only allowed to visit project sites when accompanied by County personnel. If you visit the site alone, you are trespassing on private property.
