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 400 square miles of Accomack County. Keeping them open and functional plays an important role in road safety and protects property from flooding. Some projects will require a “snag & drag” approach to remove fallen trees and naturally occurring dams that restrict water flow. Other projects will require excavating leaf litter, debris and sedimentation to restore the original parameters of the ditch.
Project: Rt. 13 & Parks Road
Scope of Work: The successful contractor will clean and clear the drainage ditch back to its original parameters. The excavations of leaf litter, limbs and minor sediment will be down to the original parameters only. No wider or deeper. All excavated material will have to be loaded and hauled to the North Landfill. The project begins at U. S. Route 13 and continues approximately 900 feet to a point where the ditch flows freely. The project will be marked at the beginning and termination points with flags. Any tracks or “scars” left in the open area at the beginning of the project, or if any deep ruts are created in the agriculture field, will have to be back filled with clean fill dirt and smoothed out. Near the end of the project is a 6’x12’ area that has started to erode. This area will require repair to stop the erosion. The bank will need to be sloped at 45 degrees with filter cloth and rip rap placed on it. Fill dirt or crusher run stone can be used behind the rip-rap to fill any small voids.
See attached exhibit maps and photos of project.
A non-mandatory project site visit can 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@co.accomack.va.us to schedule the site visit. It is highly recommended that contractors bring hip boots, bug spray and drinking water to the site visit.
