Project Overview

The work requires the underwater scouting and removal of invasive, non-native aquatic plants from the Haggetts Pond Drinking Water Reservoir.

Selective removal of the target species while avoiding removal of non-target native plant species will be required. Target invasive plants shall be entirely removed, including the roots. Fragmentation of the plants shall be prevented while harvesting.

The targeted area shall be swept by divers at least once prior to start of DASH. Some areas may require more than one pass due to visibility and native plant density and/or water clarity.

The Contractor should be prepared to conduct surveys as necessary and provide operational plans based on these findings prior to commencement of each phase of DASH operations. Operational plans shall be approved by the Town prior to commencement.

Contingency time will be deployed at the discretion of the Town based on project needs and consultation with the Contractor.
