Sustainable Woodstock (SW) is soliciting bids for the stabilization of a streambank using 34 rootwads over 172 LF at the toe of slope with layers of coir-reinforced soil above. The project site is located at the Woodstock Community Garden on Old River Road in the Town of Woodstock, Vermont, 0.1 mile past and across the road from the Billings Farm and Museum. Primary work components include site access, sediment and water control, rootwad procurement and installation, construction of reinforced soil slope, seeding and mulching. Mandatory Pre-bid site visit at 3:00 pm Friday October 2, 2026. Bids are due by email by 3:00 pm Tues October 20, 2026. Contact: Matt@RippleNR.com. Prior Experience: Bidders must demonstrate completion of at least one prior projects of similar scale and complexity involving control of water, installation of rootwads, and construction of reinforced soil slope. Take note: rootwad harvesting is limited by state and federal permits to the period November 1 – March 31 (for protection of bats), and instream work to the period July 1 – October 1, which means there is a required delay between harvesting and installation. Rootwads: 34 Rootwads with intact 5’ fan and 18’ attached trunks are to be provided and installed. Landowner on an adjacent parcel across the channel has identified areas from which trees may be harvested. Contractor is responsible for restoration of the harvest sites.
