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 sq miles of Accomack County. Keeping these ditches open and functional plays an important role in road safety and protects property from flooding. Back Creek & Full Measure Ln. drains excess water from State Route 633, and Hacks Neck.  

Scope of Work: Back Creek & Full Measure Ln. The successful contractor will clear and clean the drainage ditch back to its original parameters. 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. This project is primarily a dredging operation. The existing structure provides drainage for State Route 633 Back Creek Rd. This project is required to relieve excessive water backing up on Route 633. The flow of water has been impeded by snags, deadfall and some silt. VDOT has recently cleaned the roadside ditch to the base of the culvert. The proposed cleaning & snagging operation will start at State Route 633 and follow the contours of the existing ditch for approximately 650 feet and terminate at a designated location to be flagged prior to beginning the project. (Total length approximately _650_ feet).  (see attached map)

 Notes: The contractor will be responsible for contacting “Miss Utility” to mark any underground wires prior to beginning work.
