Local bid reference

Cumberland, ME: Portland public right-of-way excavation

Portland Maine requires a Street Opening Permit for excavation within public right-of-way. This reference is specific to the city in Cumberland County; it is not the similarly named Portland Oregon program.

Remote plan-based takeoff support; no local office, completed local project or site investigation is represented by this page. Cost, delivery schedule and deliverables depend on the agreed project scope.

What this changes in the bid review

Estimating interpretation: A service trench can cross several restoration areas while remaining one pipe run. Keep those surface quantities separate and use the issued Portland Maine conditions for the public portion.
