Bailey Creek Bridge

Contract 25-01 - Watermain and Sanitary Forcemain Replacement and Bridge Removal

Background and Scope of Work

 The Bailey Creek wood trestle bridge (ID#12064) is located on an off-road former 20m railway corridor, under the Towns ownership. It carries critical water and wastewater infrastructure atop to service the Community of Beeton from Alliston.

 The primary scope of work is identified within the Town’s 2016 Water Supply, Distribution and Storage Master Plan and in the 2018 Bridge Crossing Feasibility Study in which recommended to relocate the water and wastewater infrastructure under the Bailey Creek by horizontal directional drilling (HDD) as the preferred method of installation. The work would also include the demolition of the bridge which has been determined to be nearing the end of their service life and the construction of a gravel access road for monitoring and maintenance of the new infrastructure once installed.

 Pursuant to these recommendations, the Town retained R.V. Anderson Associates Ltd. (“Consultant”) to undertake the detailed engineering design in 2023. The design has since been completed and tendered as Contract T25-01, awarded to Trisan Construction Ltd. (“Contractor”). RVA will provide Contract Administration and Inspection services on behalf of the Town.

• installation of tree protection and erosion control fencing;
• construction of a 3.5m wide gravel maintenance access road, approximately 0.5 km in length;
• installation of a new watermain and sanitary forcemain by Horizontal Directional Drilling underneath the Bailey Creek;
• removal/abandonment of the existing watermain, sanitary force main and electrical components;
• removal of former railway wood trestle bridge and piers; and
