Worcester, MA: Excavation in a recently resurfaced Worcester street

Worcester’s published permit manual restricts openings in reconstructed streets and allows special conditions where an opening is permitted. Confirm current restrictions and the status of the actual street with Engineering.

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 resurfaced street can change both the allowed construction method and the repair extent. Hold a standard narrow patch assumption until the city has established the actual permit conditions.

Check the project documents

Mark each item after reviewing its supporting document.Request the street resurfacing history and any applicable opening restriction.Obtain the accepted exception or permit before assuming open-cut construction.Measure the specified permanent patch limits rather than using trench width alone.

Clarification to request: Is open-cut work permitted on this street and what permanent pavement restoration is required?
