City of Fall River, MA

Project Overview

Since 2019, GCG has provided the City of Fall River annually with survey, design, bidding, and construction administration services for the City’s Annual Roadway Improvement Program. GCG has evaluated approximately 85 streets and over 82,000 linear feet of roadway for the City. GCG prepares a cost comparison review of the options available to replace or improve the roadway infrastructure and based upon the options chosen by the City, GCG prepares contract specifications.

GCG evaluated the components of the existing roadway infrastructure for each street and made recommendations for the most economical and necessary roadway infrastructure improvements. The recommendations consisted of a mix of full depth excavation, micro-milling, full depth reclamation or overlaying of the existing streets, new and removal and resetting of granite curbing and bituminous berms and curbs, MassDOT and ADA compliant asphalt and concrete sidewalks and curbs, drainage improvements, and the improvement of safety features and beautification of the roadway.
